Adding favorite activity to my day

I've saved a couple of custom strength training workouts to my favorites.

Now I want to use them in my daily activities and I can't figure out how to do that.

A search of the forum turned up instructions to export the activity, edit it, and import the new version.

Is that the only way to do it? If so, what format should I export to? .FIT? How can I edit that? And once I've done all of that, will I be able to reuse the activity that I imported?

I might be missing something as this seems like a lot of work.

Thanks!

If you already have the concerned workout on your Workouts page, use the button "Send to Device", and then on the watch, when you want to do it, go to the concerned activity type, long-press the Menu button, scroll to Training » Workouts » 'your workout' » Do Workout.

Thank you! I will give that a try.

I'm not sure what the purpose of 'favorites' is then.

... and BTW, you cannot save an Activity as a Workout. You have to create the workout on the Workouts page. At least I do not know about any simple way to transform an activity fit file to the workout format. Might be perhaps possible with some 3rd party tools, but personally I think it is faster creating the workout in Garmin Connect.

You can mark some activities as favorites, if you want to find them easier in future. You can list all favorite activities at https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activities?favorite=1

It has no relation with Workouts.
