3 Routines

A routine is a template, a list of exercises that you plan to do during your workout. Your actual workout may be different – you may skip or replace or add some exercises.

Routines make using GymGoal during the actual workout more convenient. Even if you add all your regular exercises to favorites, without a routine you will tap the screen about 3 times more than you would with a routine.

A routine can have several days. For example the whole routine works whole body, but the total list of exercises is split into 2 days: Upper Body and Lower Body. The first selector allows to see only routines with the specific number of split days.

The second option specifies the technical difficulty of the routines.

The third option – equipment type.
