Starting a workout
Starting a workout is a one-tap action on your dashboard — not a menu item. Your Today's workout card shows what's next, and the Start workout screen lets you pick any session.
From your dashboard
The Today's workout card sits near the top of your dashboard:
- If your plan has a workout lined up, the card shows it — tap Start workout to jump straight into the tracker, or Choose another to see all your options.
- If nothing is scheduled, tap Start workout to open the picker.
The Start workout screen
Three ways to begin:
- Your program — the workouts assigned in your current plan. Your next session is highlighted ("Next in plan"); tap any workout to start it.
- Freeform workout — start with an empty session and add exercises as you go.
- Choose from library — browse ready-made workouts and start one right away. (You can also start any workout straight from the Library.)
Whichever you pick, the workout opens in the tracker. From there it works exactly like Tracking a workout — log your sets, rate the effort, and save it to your history.
