Track a workout on your phone

Log each set of a workout on your phone as you lift, with a rest timer between sets, and save the session to your LiftTrack History.

A session tracked on your phone saves to LiftTrack only. Garmin Connect gets a session only when you record it on your watch.

Before you start

A workout. To make one, see how to build a workout.

Start the workout

On the Workouts tab, tap the workout.
On the workout screen, tap Start. The tracking screen opens with the exercises and the sets you planned, weights and reps filled in.

Start is the first button in the row under the workout name.

Workout screen for Upper Body Strength with Start, Edit, Schedule, Garmin and Share buttons — Start is the first button in the row under the workout name.

If the workout is scheduled for today, you can also tap Start workout on its card on the Home tab.

The first time you track, LiftTrack shows Start on your phone?. Tap Start on phone to start.

Send to Garmin closes the sheet without starting and, if your Garmin is not connected yet, opens the Garmin sign in. To record on your watch instead, see how to send a workout to your watch.

Log your sets

The strip at the top of the tracking screen shows Duration, Volume and Sets logged out of the total. Logged sets show their figures in full brightness.

Optional: to change what you did, tap the weight, reps or RPE of the set and enter the new value.
Tap the check at the end of the set row. The check turns green, and the rest countdown starts if the exercise has rest.
Repeat for each set.

To undo a set, tap its check again. When every set of an exercise is logged, the card folds into one line with its sets, volume and best set. Tap the line to open the card again.

Rows marked W are warmup sets; log them the same way. RPE takes values from 6 to 10 and can stay empty. To learn what each value means, see how RPE works.

Add or remove a set

To add a set, tap Add set under the exercise. The new set copies the weight and reps of the last one.
To remove a set, swipe its row to the left.

Changes to sets apply to this session. After you save, the review shows whether the workout takes them next time.

Rest between sets

After you log a set, a REST countdown runs at the bottom of the screen. Tap −15s or +15s to change the time left by 15 seconds, or tap Skip to end the rest.

The length comes from the rest set on the exercise in the workout, shown on its card as Rest. Warmup sets use the warmup rest. To change it, edit the workout; the tracking screen does not change the workout.

To learn how rest works on your phone and your watch, see the rest timer.

To start a rest without logging a set, tap the timer icon next to Finish, then tap a time in Start rest. The rest starts at once.

If you use Android and notifications for LiftTrack are turned off, the tracking screen shows Turn on notifications. Tap Turn on so the rest timer alerts you while LiftTrack is in the background.

Leave the tracking screen

To check something else in the app mid workout, tap the down arrow next to the workout name. A bar over the tab bar shows the workout, the time, the sets logged and any rest left. Tap the bar to go back to the tracking screen.

Home tab with a bar above the tabs reading Upper Body Strength, 0:44, 2 of 16 sets, resting 1:00 — The workout in progress stays above the tabs while you use the rest of the app.

The duration keeps counting while you are away. LiftTrack keeps the session on your phone, so closing the app does not lose it: it comes back when you open LiftTrack again with the same account.

If you tap Start on another workout while a session is open, LiftTrack shows Workout in progress. Tap Resume workout to go back to it.

Warning: Discard and start deletes the open session and every set logged in it.

Finish and save

On the tracking screen, tap Finish. Finish this workout? opens and lists the sets you have not logged. Sets that are not logged are not saved.
Tap Save workout. You need at least one logged set to save.

Finish this workout? sheet listing each exercise with its sets not logged, 14 sets not logged, above Save workout, Discard workout and Keep going — Finish this workout? names each exercise with the sets that will not be saved.

The review of the session opens. Keep going returns you to the tracking screen instead.

The saved session is under History on the Progress tab.

To stop without saving, tap Finish, then tap Discard workout.

Warning: Discard workout deletes the session and every set logged in it. With sets logged, LiftTrack asks you to confirm first.
