How do you create an individual training?

Hi!

I'm trying to configure a strength training for myself. I do know which exercises I want to practise/add to this training, but Garmin Connect doesn't allow me to do so. Exercises apparently spread across different activities, such as Pilates, strength training, Cardio and whatnot (I'm German and don't know the English terms, sorry for that.) So, while Cardio knows "Flutter Kicks", Pilates and strength training don't (aren't they super basic and should be available at each discipline?), but they know others instead, like Bicycle Crunches are only available for strength training but not for the others. So, I can't create my own training, at least not with the exercises I'd like to.

I then figured I just enter the name without choosing an exercise from the list, because I know what to do and don't necessarily need to have a Garmin exercise selected, but that's impossible, too. I must pick one from Garmin's exercise list. Next, the translated names for these exercises are a mess (sometimes 100% German, sometimes a mix of English + German, sometimes not a name but a description, and sometimes they are in English).

This feature is, honestly, impossible to use unless I am fine with spending hours scrolling through Garmin's list of exercises, where Garmin dictates which exercises I am allowed to combine. How could I dare to combine Bicycle Crunches with Flutter Kicks in one training?!

Am I doing something wrong? How can I use this feature properly? It feels more like a demo right now. And why is there no option to simply pick any exercises - no matter if it's Pilates, Cardio or Power Training?!

I'm so frustrated! Disappointed
