Alternative way to add exercises to custom routines

You can use this method to add a set of exercises to your routine.

For example you want to copy one day from routine A to routine B. Routine B should already exist. Open routine A and then open the first exercise that you want to copy. Tap the top star button and add this exercise to routine B as described above. When you tap the Save button, you return to the exercise details page. Tap the right arrow to open the next exercise in routine A. Tap the star button to add it to routine B - and so on.

Additional days

Every routine has the split attribute. It is the number of separate days in the routine that together train the whole body. For example, 3-day split means that the full-body workout was split into 3 days.

The split term usually is not applied to cardio exercises. If you want to follow a 3-day split routine and also do cardio on separate days, your routine is still a "3-day split" routine.

Use the Add Day button at the bottom of the table to add a day to the routine.

Use the button in the day's header to delete the day from the routine.
