Recurring Workout Scheduling

Planning your training in advance is key to consistency, but manually scheduling workouts every week is tedious. LiftTrack’s Recurring Workout Scheduling allows you to set up workout schedules that automatically repeat, ensuring you always know what to train and when.

Why Schedule Workouts?

Scheduled workouts provide multiple benefits:

Consistency

• Eliminate decision fatigue - No more wondering what to train
• Establish routine - Build training habits through consistency
• Reduce skipping - Scheduled workouts are more likely to be completed
• Track adherence - See how well you stick to your plan

Program Adherence

• Follow structured programs exactly as designed
• Maintain training splits without deviation
• Ensure balanced training across all muscle groups
• Track program completion over time

Time Management

• Plan your week around training schedule
• Coordinate with life commitments
• Optimize training days for best performance
• Reduce planning time each week

How Recurring Scheduling Works

Create a Schedule

1. Select your workout from your library
2. Choose frequency (daily, weekly, specific days)
3. Set start date for when schedule begins
4. Set end date (optional) for program duration
5. Save schedule - Workouts automatically appear on calendar
