Can WORKOUTS get it's OWN menu item ?

Flicking around to sport types to find workout's is frustrating. I created a custom workout and it files it under HIKING ? this makes no sense.

So like we have Run/Walk/Hiking/Cycle and so on ... it would be good to have one called Workout - which lists ALL the workouts, and then automatically pulls it up wherever Garmin chooses to categorize them.

Because tree climbing has nothing to do with hiking. And I'm not kidding.

Thanks for listening I was not trying to be an a$$.

Garmin as a lot of suggestions for classical stuff, but obviously nothing for exotics like martial arts, or irregular lifting.

As far as Workout is concerned the list, it should show ALL workouts as a single list that you sent to the device, including your custom ones, and when I say custom I mean CUSTOM CUSTOM, not ones you create using what they offer. But like my example of tree climbing or felling.

The single entry point would prevent having to enter every family item to try and find it.

I agree that workoutlist on the watch would be a good idea. Especially since there is a limitiation on number of workout that can be stored on the watch.

But I don't follow what it will solve regarding custom workout and what you are missing. Maybe it is because I haven't tried making my own workouts.

But if you want custom step, can you just choose Other as step and write in the notes what it is.

I hear you, you can also do a "Free" Strength workout, then amend as notes. But still takes time when it could be canned as an exercise. Looking more into this, After you create a "custom" workout as in CUSTOM CUSTOM :), you cannot file it under "strength or cardio" any real custom workouts all endup under hike or walk. That's really silly.

Garmin needs to great and option to select workouts instead of Run/Hike/Walk/Strength etc .. so you can see ALL the ones you have created, and then Garmin needs to allow you to create a custom item that does NOT exist under the list of items they provide in Strength for an example. What needs to happen is, you should be able to create a custom strength exercise that's not in their list but can be set to belong Strength.

Strongman exercises for an example, or grip strength, NEED that ability otherwise custom entries all endup under walk and hike !
