How to Add Custom Exercises to Garmin Connect
Create your own exercises in LiftTrack with name, muscles, and equipment, and use them in routines you send to your Garmin watch
Learn moreLiftTrack lets you build a strength routine in the app, send it to your Garmin watch, track sets and reps on your wrist, and have the finished workout sync back to the app automatically.
LiftTrack runs a full loop with your Garmin watch: you build a routine in the app, tap to send it to your watch, track sets and reps on your wrist, and the finished workout syncs back to your history within seconds. From there, progression rules update next week's targets, and the Analytics tab shows how the work is landing across push, pull, and legs. Read why this round-trip changes how you train.

Pick the rule that fits the lift. Linear adds a fixed weight increment after each successful workout, SetSync copies the weights and reps you actually did into your routine, and Double Progression climbs reps within a range before bumping the weight.
The Programs Browser has pre-built training programs and routines you can add to your library. Once added, they behave like any other LiftTrack workout, ready to send to your watch.
The Analytics tab counts your weekly working sets across push, pull, and legs against the targets you set, with a body heatmap showing where the volume is actually landing.
Free to try, and works with any Garmin watch that supports strength training.
