New graphics GC strengthening exercises

Luca
over 4 years ago

From today I found in GC the graphics of the muscles used in the various exercises (very beautiful) selectable from the huge variety in the list, on GC web the graphics faithfully follows the exercise with colored muscles, while on GC android mobile you do not see anything , all gray body, has anyone tried it yet?

    Yes, I saw these appear last week, and confirm that they look great on the webpage, and non-functional on the Android app.  Kinda looking forward to where they're going with this.  Seems easy enough to be able to summarize which muscle groups are getting worked, and which are being missed, etc.

    So now that I mention it, these graphics work fine in the app, and they look great!  It's an issue of the device recognizing the exact exercise that was recorded, which is iffy at best.  Here's the fix:  in either the app or the webpage, go into each recorded activity and set the Activity Type to Strength Training.  Then, enter the specific exercise into the table below the muscle group images, add sets, reps, weight, etc.  Resynch.  Viola!

    Muscles appeared with today's app update, but it still doesn't work properly like the web one, on the android device you see all the muscles trained, on the web instead when you select an exercise you only see the related muscles

    Hi,

    my app does not display used/target muscles used during Strength training activity. It seems to me that this is quite new feature as in web app it is not displayed at all (only in created workouts).

    Do you have same issues?

    Thanks.

    Update the app and you will see the muscles, if you double click on them the page becomes horizontal and selecting the single exercise will indicate the muscles involved, exactly as on the web

    Thanks for tip, but when I get to "Detailed Muscle View" it says for each exercise/set "Targeted muscles not shown for Warm Up and Cool Down step" even only first and last exercises are in this category. I did one fake Strength training now without any exercises labelled as Warm Up/Cool Down and result was the same.

    Can you show here screenshot from web where you see Targeted muscles in completed workout?

    I found out that it is not working properly in Android app so far, therefore I have to wait a while until it is fixed.

    It is being discussed also here New graphics GC strengthening exercises - Garmin Connect Mobile Android - Mobile Apps & Web - Garmin Forums

    The Luca of that conversation is always me Grimacing in any case warm-up and cool-down I don't really consider them, I was talking about the training exercises, the screenshots I never understood how they fit into the forum

    Same here. Always says warm up and cool down not displayed, even when I select a  'workout' step
