What does "select a move for each workout step" mean?

When I try to create a workout on the Garmin Connect app, none of them will save.
The app tells me to "select a move" for each step. But I can't find anything in the app which looks even remotely like it will allow me to "select a move".
I have manually input a ton of info - repeatedly. None of the workouts have saved.

Very frustrating, so any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Scott

Ok got it! The Garmin wants you to define which exercise for which step of the workout.. For example, it wouldn't save my one minute cooldowns until i defined the exercise i was cooling down with...…

Sorry - I didn't. Hope you have better luck.

so I chatted with customer care and found that, we cannot add workouts (like strength training, the one I chose) in garmin forerunner 45.

Hi Scott,

I just solved the problem. I added a note to each workout step. To be quick I just wrote 1 (for the first exercise), 2 for the second one, and so on. And I was able to save the workout!

For example, it wouldn't save my one minute cooldowns until i defined the exercise i was cooling down with... or just deleted the 1 min recovery from that step of the workout. It's letting me save the workouts now..

However as a second issue, I'm getting annoyed that i can't list my own custom exercises here (or even FIND a bent over row)...

Ha - I have the same issue with the bent over row!

The bent over row is listed as "One-arm bent over row". Having to use the predefined names for exercises is really annoying. Lots are not obviously named, many exercises are missing, and those that are there are named inconsistently (eg. "One arm" vs "One-arm" for some exercises) and the search is not smart enough to find similarly named exercises.
