Exercise List

Are we ever going to be allowed to customize the list of strength exercises? I’m tired of using items from the list that only kinda fit. There are many basic exercises that are missing, e.g.,

Chest Press,
Bridge,
Bird Dog,
Hip Adduction & Abduction,
Clamshell just to name a few.

Please let us add our own if you’re not going to expand the list, Garmin!

Cheers!

Very puzzling this hasn't bee addressed yet. There are several threads. Garmin seems to just close down threads to stop the comments, without even addressing if this under consideration.

I would like to see this too. I just got my watch 2 days ago and have already hit this wall. Please address this glaring omission!!

Seriously. Just googled alternative names for the bird dog exercise and I found this post. How is it not on there? Why can't users enter their own strength exercises into programmed workouts? How hard…

Either give the user the option of adding exercise names or at least add the one suggested. While your list is extensive it does miss some items. For example I do crossfit and often have calorie bike on a TABATA. Add bike and calorie bike.

Absolutely!

Cannot find this option anywhere.

When I create a workout, I can only pick from the list. Can I free type a name of an exercise for it to be prompted and timed during a workout?

either in GC mobile or web?

Looks like this is not possible.

Are there any workarounds, e.g. A separate app?

Seriously. Just googled alternative names for the bird dog exercise and I found this post. How is it not on there? Why can't users enter their own strength exercises into programmed workouts? How hard can that really be? I don't even care if my watch tracks the reps. I just need the reminder for what comes next.

Once again garmin makes things difficult and hard for the user. Why on earth can't I just write whatever I want into the exercise name? I have a workout and half of the things im going to do isn't on the list...

+1 for this, even as non-native english speaking, I don't even understand half of the terms I read.
