Workout scheduling

LiftTrack puts workouts on your Garmin watch’s calendar in two ways: a one-off date for a single session, or a weekly routine that repeats. Both paths are built around the watch — once a workout is scheduled, it appears on your wrist on the date you picked, ready to start.

How it works

There are two scheduling paths in the app, each suited to a different planning style.

One-off scheduling

For a single session on a specific date:

Open a workout that has already synced to Garmin and tap the “Workout Options Menu”.
In the “Garmin Sync” tile, tap “Schedule Workout”. This option only appears after the workout has finished syncing.
A date picker opens, with a range from today out to 30 days from now. Pick a date.
The workout is scheduled to your watch for that day and shows up in the “Upcoming” tab under that date.

There is no confirmation step — tapping a date schedules immediately.

Recurring weekly routine

For a fixed split that repeats:

From the “Upcoming” tab, tap the schedule icon in the app bar (or “Schedule Workouts” in the empty state) to open the “Routine Scheduler”.
Tap “Create Weekly Routine”. Seven day sections appear, Monday through Sunday.
On each day you want to train, tap ”+ Add Workout” and pick a workout from your library. The current day is labeled “(Today)” so it is easy to find.
Tap the checkmark in the app bar to save. The backend generates seven days of scheduled workouts and pushes them to your watch.

A single-week routine repeats forever until you change it. There is no end date.

For periodization, tap “Add Another Week” at the bottom to add Week 2, Week 3, and so on. A “Current Week” dropdown sets which week of the cycle you are starting from, so the system knows where to begin.

What you’ll see in the app

The “Garmin Sync” tile cycles through four states depending on the workout: “Garmin sync in progress…”, “Retry sending to Garmin”, “Send To Garmin Connect”, and “Schedule Workout”. The schedule option only appears in the last state.
The “Routine Scheduler” shows seven day sections (Monday through Sunday); the day matching the current date has “(Today)” appended in grey.
A green “Repeats” badge appears on the header of a single-week routine. Multi-week cycles label headers “Week 1”, “Week 2”, etc.
The “Upcoming” tab groups scheduled workouts by date with smart labels: “Today”, “Tomorrow”, or the full date written out for everything else (for example, “Monday, April 15”). All dates between the first and last scheduled workout are shown, even days with nothing on them.
Each upcoming workout appears as a card with the name, an exercise summary, sync status, and a three-dot menu.

When this helps

One-off scheduling fits the common case of “I want to do this workout tomorrow” — a deload session, a rearranged training day, or a single workout you want on the watch without changing anything else. It is fast: pick the workout, pick the date, done.

The “Routine Scheduler” is for anyone running a fixed weekly split. An upper / lower / rest / upper / lower / rest / rest pattern, or a push / pull / legs cycle, only needs to be set up once. After that the watch’s calendar fills in automatically week after week, and editing the routine reshapes future weeks the next time it saves.

Setup

A workout must be synced to Garmin before you can schedule it. If it has not synced yet, the “Garmin Sync” tile shows “Send To Garmin Connect” or “Retry sending to Garmin” instead of “Schedule Workout” — handle the sync first, then come back to schedule.

The “Routine Scheduler” is gated behind a remote config flag (routine_scheduler_enabled). If you do not see the schedule icon in the “Upcoming” tab’s app bar, the feature has not been enabled on your account yet. One-off scheduling from the “Garmin Sync” tile is always available.

A connected Garmin account is required for both paths — see Garmin watch integration for the connection flow.

“Garmin watch integration” — workouts have to be synced to Garmin before they can be scheduled, and scheduling pushes them to the watch’s calendar.
“Progress Tracking & Analytics” — completed scheduled workouts populate “History” the same way ad-hoc workouts do.
