How To Manage Exercises
Introduction
There are so many different fitness exercises out there that it probably feels nearly endless to some when thinking of all possible variations. While we try to do our best to add and categorize exercises with accurate details, we don’t claim to have them all and we believe no app can.
However, we believe that if you do it, you should be able to track it. Using a fitness app where you can only track a part of the exercises you perform is a no go for us.
That is why Flex Quest lets you create your own custom exercises since the app launched.
Create a custom exercise
To create a new exercise, simply go to the exercise section of the app and click “New” from the main menu. Add the name, the category, and click “ADD” at the bottom. You can also click the “New Exercise” option from the dashboard speed dial (from the training section).
You can also fill in some of the information in between to help the app categorize the exercise, particularly the targeted muscles which directly impact stats calculation.
You can also create a new exercise based on an existing one so you don’t have to redefine all values and create more accurate exercises and descriptions faster. To do so, select the exercise template by clicking the “LOAD” button at the button, edit the value, and click “ADD” to add the new exercise.
Clicking the “RESET” button will reset all values to their default. If you loaded an exercise as a template, the values will reset to the values of that exercise.
Every exercise you create is automatically added to the “User” list, so you can easily find all the exercises you created.
Edit a custom exercise
Editing an existing exercise you previously created is important, especially if you added that exercise in a rush while working out and only and rightfully just filled in the strict minimum.
To edit an existing exercise, go to the exercise itself, click its name to expand options and click the “SETTINGS” tab on the right. Then click the “EDIT” button to navigate to the edit page. Edit what you need and finally click “UPDATE” at the bottom.
You cannot edit a built-in exercise.
Delete a custom exercise
Deleting an exercise is currently not possible in Flex Quest.
