Pause and resume a program

Pausing keeps your place in the program. You choose when you’re back, and LiftTrack moves or skips the workouts that fall during the break, on your calendar and on your Garmin.

Before you start

• A program you have started. Only a program in progress shows Pause program; to start one, see start a program.

Pause a program

1. Open Workouts›Programs. If the screen shows another saved program, tap the program name and choose the one marked Active.
2. Tap the three dots icon, then tap Pause program.
3. Under Return date, choose one:
   • Rest of this week: back on the coming Monday.
   • Through next week: back on the Monday after that.
   • Choose a date: pick any day from tomorrow up to a year ahead.
   • No return date: no date yet.
4. Tap Continue. If you chose No return date, the button reads Pause program and the program pauses now; skip the last two steps.
5. Choose what happens to the workouts during your break. The sheet counts them and names the weeks they fall in.
   • Extend program: every remaining workout moves later by the length of the break. You keep every week, and the end date moves.
   • Skip paused workouts: those workouts are dropped, and the program rejoins at the week your return date falls in. The end date stays the same.
6. Tap Pause program.

1. 1 Pick your return

   Through next week brings you back on Monday, Nov 9.

   
2. 2 Keep or skip the workouts

   Each option shows the week you resume with and the new end date.

   

A message confirms the pause: Program paused.

The Programs screen marks the program Paused and reads Week 5 resumes on Wed, Nov 11, with your own week and date. With a return date, the remaining workouts already sit on their new dates, so your Garmin has them when you’re back.

If the break covers every workout left in the program, Skip paused workouts is not available. Tap Finish program to end it, or choose Extend program.

Pause until you know your return date

No return date takes every remaining workout off your calendar and off your Garmin. On the Programs screen, the program reads Paused until you resume and each workout reads off calendar. Nothing is scheduled until you resume, and the choice between extending and skipping waits until then.

Resume a program

1. Open Workouts›Programs.
2. On the paused program, tap Resume program. You can resume any day, including before the return date you chose.
3. If workouts fell between the day you paused and today, a sheet titled with the program name, such as Resume Upper / Lower Strength?, counts the missed workouts. Choose Extend program or Skip paused workouts, then tap Resume program. To leave the program paused, tap Cancel.

A message confirms it: Program resumed.

The Paused badge goes away. The remaining workouts are back on your calendar, and on your Garmin if it’s connected.
