There are two ways to add a new exercise to your Exercise Directory, depending on if you have an active workout or not.
If You Have an Active Workout and Want to Add a New Exercise
- In your active workout, click on +Exercise (or +Special set), and pick the muscle group where you want to add a new exercise. Scroll down to and click on the Create new exercise button.
- You can choose to create an exercise from scratch, or to copy an already exisiting exercise. In this example, we’ll show how to do the latter in this example. Scroll down to see how to create an exercise from scratch.
- Choose which exercise you want to copy (you can either scroll, or search for it).
- Change the name of the exercise. The default name will be the original exercise name + (copy), and scroll to see if you need to change any of the variables. As you can see in the example pictures below, all the info from the original exercise will follow to the copy.
- Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save when you’re done.
