Add more generic, custom, and machine exercises

In Garmin Connect, there are VERY specific types of weight exercises - we need more generic ones.

Search for "Chest Press" and you get:

* Chest Press with Band
* Kettlebell Chest Press
* Swiss Ball Dumbbell Chest Press
* Alternating Dumbbell Chest Press
* Single-arm Cable Chest Press
* Alternating Dumbbell Chest Press

...but no plain old "Chest Press"!

Another one: "Back Extension" nets you:
* Back Extension with Opposite Arm and Leg Reach
* GHD Back Extensions
* Weighted GHD Back Extensions
* Static Back Extension
* Single-leg Back Extension
* Weighted Static Back Extension
* Weighted Single-leg Back Extension
* Swiss Ball Back Extension
* Weighted Swiss Ball Back Extension
* Weighted Back Extension with Opposite Arm and Leg Reach

...and no plain old "Back Extension"!

I would suggest this list, based on a typical "LifeFitness" circuit of 10 machines:

* Back Extension (tonnes of far too specific options, as listed above)
* Leg Extension (exists already)
* Seated Leg Curl (weighted leg curl exists)
* Seated Row ("weighted row" exists, as do more specifics)
* Chest Press ("Chest Press with Band" is the closest)
* Lateral Raise (exists)
* Biceps Curl ("Curl" is the closest)
* Triceps Extension (exists)
* Abdominal Crunch (only "Weighted Crunch" exists)

Perhaps others have suggestions for machine workouts that should exist - take a cruise around your gym and suggest ones that aren't already in Garmin Connect.

    Yes. Please add the basics (if not the specifics). If I’m gonna take the time to list my exercises please make it more complete. “Seated chest press”… this is virtually in every gym, and not esoteric.  Please update

    Im also a fan of the landmine attachment and do mostly landmine variants for my weightlifting. 

    instead of having thousands of different exercises to choose from, perhaps we could have the possibilty to add descriptions or tags to each exercise.

    I.e «Benchpress». You can add a plain benchpress, or you could add tags «dumbell», «incline» etc.

    so less exercises, but add descriptive tags!

    Currently, if you create a workout in Garmin Connect, you can only choose a name for the workout. Although the list is very long, some exercise names are not there.

    I would like to know if this feature will ever be implemented.

    Thank you.

    • I second this, it must be such an easy feature to add, even if it had a set character length in the field, some of the pre set exercises are 4/5 words already, thats plenty of flexibility. 

      this is one of the things that lets it down IMO.
