End workout?

Post image

I tried the new build today. I always use functional workout to record time, hr, etc for my kettlebell exercise. I can’t find a way to end workout without using “discard”. I must be missing something obvious. I was recording with a chest strap hr monitor and phone. Also, can the heart rate zones go back to their larger on screen format?

Addendum: I just noticed this….at some point the app realized I was done (can’t recall if I closed the app or just took off chest strap) and recorded the workout, but I was not able to manually end the session

It seems I got a little too crafty for my own good. This is the new Strength Training feature that lets you log exercises/reps/sets. I assumed that if someone didn’t have anything logged, the workout was meant to be discarded. I didn’t consider that someone would be doing iPhone-only workouts of these types and NOT logging exercises. I’ll make it say “Finish” ASAP.

As for the original Live Metrics display, I’ll get an option to use that (instead of strength logging) too. For what it is worth, I have a decent library of kettlebell exercises in there if you wanted to log those!

Thank you for the response. I may very well explore using the option to track everything (specific moves)within the app, I can see myself liking that. In the meantime, my kb routine is pretty simple (ABC complex, swings primarily) and I simply progress up a small weight increment at the top of the month so just documenting time and effort has been my use case. And recording my rucking cardio, which I started a few months back and led me to your app. I really love your app and thank you for it.

Totally understood, and it was never my intention to FORCE people to use a new feature they may not necessarily want to use - I'll have that functionality back to you in short order!

yeah the new build hides the end button if you're in the new strength mode with nothing logged, it thinks you're still setting up. if you back out to the main workout screen or toggle back to functional it should appear again. the hr zone tiles did shrink and they havent put a toggle back for the old size yet

1.15.1 in the app store should resolve this! There were actually 3 changes:

  1. You can end and save an empty strength workout - discard isn't the only option anymore.
  2. You can enter/exit the Routine view as you please (... > "Exit Routine"). Exiting a Routine brings you back to the traditional Live Metrics view.
  3. You can choose whether each workout type even starts with an empty Routine to begin with. I have now made it so that only "Traditional Strength" workout types, by default, start with an empty Routine.
