You can take Cardio or Strength Workout.

If you want to fancy, create a workout in the Garmin Connect mobile app or online and then sync to your device. You can specific sets, reps, weights, exercise types repeats, rests, and when you select that on the device (instead of "Free") it will act as a digital notepad and track reps as you go. I've got different ones for upper body, lower body, and compound lifts.

EDIT - if you haven't sent custom workouts to your watch from Connect, you won't see "Free" - the default activity is the same as free.

Hi,

When you start a Strength activity the first menu item is "Free" (as opposed to any workout you have uploaded)

Mmmm well you are talking about the default result of starting the activity, thus, there is no "free" to choose...

Thank you!

Yep, you'll only see "Free" in a weight workout if you have custom workouts sent to your watch. Otherwise, the default activity it starts is "Free" (weights).

Hi Guys,

Sorry for bringing this post back to life lol!

Is there a way to make ABS workout count against Vo2 MAX or your overall fitness level on the Training status widget?

Thanks!

As far as I understood, only running (with GPS) and cycling (with powermeter) do have an effect on the calculated VO2max on your watch.
