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…

Yes, please add this feature. As a web programmer I understand this adds a level of complexity, especially when synchronizing, but is very, very doable.

I wanted to revive this again. I tried to post about this request as well, and included many links from threads that mentioned which go back as far as 5 years ago.

When I tried to post it they flagged as spam lol. Most likely because I gathered all those links as evidence.

It definitely appears that way as I found a thread from 5 years ago that wanted this exact feature. I decided to slowly try to revive this in everybody's mind because it's ridiculous this is something they don't want to fix.

I doubt. I do not believe anyone from Garmin really follows the forum that closely that they would care about it. More likely the forum anti-spam filters automatically block posts with numerous links, because that's a typical sign of spam.

This one? Please, we beg you, let us name our own exercises . Posts from new members with multiple links is one of the flags for potential spam. It sat in the moderator's queue until I approved it. Nothing to do with hiding evidence.

I don't think Garmin takes a look at the forums. I need this feature too! Please everyone send them a request in their ideas page
https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/

Otherwise they will keep ignoring this!

To anyone needing an alternative to the Bird Dog: you can use the Kneeling Superman - should be similar enough.
