Most of the workouts are short, simple, and dont use much equipment.
Workouts will then appear for you each day.
The image above shows a Push/Pull/Legs workout programmed by Garmin Coach.
Again, you’re free to do this either on your phone or on the web.
Heres what you do to turn this into a traditional sets-and-reps format.
Select an exercise (deadlift), a weight (200 pounds), and a target punch in.
In this case, the target bang out will be Reps (five).
Hit the arrow on the top left of the screen to return to the main workout editing page.
For the recovery card, youll want to change that to Rest rather than Recovery.
For that one, the target pop in should be Time.
Lets set it to three minutes.
Return to the main workout screen again.
Before you add another set, go to the bottom of the screen and tap Add Step.
After you finish that, there will be a rest period that lasts until you press the lap button.
Continue adding repeats and steps as desired, and double-check to save the workout when youre done.
Tap the one you want to do.
(Just keep pressing the select button until the workout actually begins.)
Three minutes later, my watch will buzz to let me know its time to do the next set.
Pro tip: Set your rest timer for thelongesttime you might want to rest between sets.
If youre aiming for three to five minutes, set it for five minutes.
Youll get a beep at the top of each minute.
I use the workouts for timing, not to log the details of my workout.
(I have anotebookfor that.)
I also havent found the automatic set detection or rep counting to be very useful.
The watch is impressively good sometimeshow did it know I was doing pullups?
!but its just not goodenoughto be generally useful.
It also doesnt recognize a lot of the Olympic weightlifting exercises I do.
And the rep counting?
Sometimes OK, but more often useless.
