Feature Request: Custom/User-Defined Exercises in Workouts (Again).

Former Member over 5 years ago

I see that users have been requesting it for years, but just wanted to bring it up again.

While the list of strength-training exercises are extensive, it's always going to be inadequate. In my case, I do a daily stretching/mobility, which would be great to be able to set up as a "Workout".

Hi, I have the same issue. Did you find a way to record your daily stretching and mobility WO?

Thank you for any help.

No. However, I sold the device about 5 months ago after developing a non-recoverable injury. The software may be different now.

I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you all the best.

Just continuing the demand for the ability to custom name an exercise when creating a workout...This can't be that hard to add in.....PLEASE do this ASAP!

Can't help directly, but as a workaround, I simply take any generic exercise name I do not normally use, and enter my own name into the note. When then the watch shows me the generic name, I press the Enter button to read my note. Pretty simple and effiicient.

I 'm very frustrated with myself as I can't see a way to add personalized workout steps in a strength workout I am creating.

I want to create a workout with user-defined exercises eg "5kg Alternate Punching". As it is I can only select from the drop-down with a lot of pre-defined exercises with no annotations.

This must be possible? Or is it?

Many thanks.

I second that request. I thought I just couldn't figure out how to do it.

Completely agree, very annoying. For now I use rest steps with lap button press, then add exercise instructions to notes. It shows up on the watch, does the trick sort of.

I too would like the ability to define the exercises. Or have a comprehensive list of exercises. It is frustrating to put a workout together and not be able to find a fairly common exercise missing. For example.....Landmine press. I looked up alternate names and still did not find it in the dropdown list.

When will Garmin finally let us copy and rename custom exercises? Maybe give us a "text shown" option while building workouts. The default can be the actual name chosen from the list, but the watch can read something different while doing the workout.
