Add "stretches" to workouts

I could not find if this was already discussed or requested, I did search. I would really like to see stretches added to the workout segment, in particular the strength portion if that matters. I am currently trying to gain strength back from back surgery after years of back problems and I add a lot of stretches into my routine. With the current setup I have to just throw something in there under warm up to get me my stretch time. Currently I am using Calf Raise under warm up for my calf stretches. Just seems like an easy option to add in, even if its just custom names, it doesn't have to be able to count reps or anything.

Anyone else?

Yes! +1! especially beeing able to log stretching during the warm-up phase in structured-workouts would be perfect!

Has there been any new app focused on stretching?

Does anyone have a favorite app for stretching?

Four years later and the lack os stretch exercises is still a issue. I do a stretch routine to gain movility and flexibility. However, there is no basic stretch exercises as calf stretches.

They should add stretch as an activity and add a lot of stretches exersices so you can add them to your training plans.

Can’t believe this still isn’t a thing. Yes, we know we can add it under something like “yoga” but that’s not accurate data.

Really just wish they would add it as a built in activity. Works just like “Strength” with timed sets except it’s not a set but stretch. Copy/paste Garmin, Copy/Paste.

I regularly use stretches in my workouts and they are there. Probably not as detailed or every body part, but work well enough for me.

Calf Stretch

Quad Stretch

Shoulder Stretch

Hamstring Stretch

Thanks Nick. I have a Fénix 7 and cannot find a “stretch” activity. What activity type are you using to find all these stretches?

0 NickMN over 2 years ago in reply to SupaMonkey

I find them on web when creating a programmed 'Strength' Workout. Also can add them in after when editing a Stregth activity

Bump. C'mon Garmin. This shouldn't be that difficult and is an obvious activity set.
