Start a workout from an exercise

Find the movement

The Exercises area lets you begin with a movement rather than a whole plan. It is useful when you already know the first exercise you want to log and want to check its catalog entry before starting.

1. Open Workouts and select Exercises.
2. Search or use the available filters to narrow the exercise list.
3. Check the exercise name and equipment information. Similar names can refer to different equipment or logging fields.
4. Choose Start With This to begin a workout using that exercise.

Build around the selection

With Premium, Build From This can create a fuller session around the selected movement. Review the generated workout before logging it, especially its additional exercises and set targets. Start With This is the simpler core action when you want to add the remaining movements yourself.

The browser can show when you last completed an exercise. No completed history yet means the app has no matching completed session to display; it does not prevent you from starting with that exercise.

Continue the session

Once the workout opens, use Add Exercise to add other movements and Add Set to continue the selected exercise. The workout follows the same completion and history flow as a session started on Home.

If you already have an unfinished workout, return to that draft and use Add Exercise there when you want to extend the existing session. Starting from a catalog selection and editing a saved catalog definition are separate actions; ordinary session edits belong in the active workout.
