Workouts: logging one and fixing it

Where: Telegram bot Checked

A workout can be typed into the diary, said in words in the chat, or not logged at all — with Health connected it arrives by itself. By hand is for what Health never saw: the gym, a pool without the watch, a session with a coach.

Before you start

The diary, opened from the bot. Nothing else: a workout goes into the day you have on screen.

Step by step

  1. Open the diary and stay on today — a workout can only be added for today.
  2. Tap «+ Workout».
  3. Pick the kind: strength, cardio, sport, mobility or other.
  4. Type the title and the minutes. The calories burned can stay empty — we estimate them from your last weight and show them with a «≈».
  5. Add the exercises and a note if you care to, and save. The entry counts as finished right away; there is nothing to close afterwards.

Sets, weight and distance are easier said in the chat: «bench 4 by 8 at 60» or «40 minutes of running». Pyramids and drop sets are a chat feature for now.

What arrives on its own

  • Workouts from Health — with Health connected they show up in the diary themselves, with their kind and minutes.
  • A circuit that arrived in pieces — the short fragments of one session are merged into one entry instead of ten.
  • A workout from the watch — it reaches the diary through the iPhone: into Health first, into the diary from there.
  • The title — it can be fixed, and the numbers stay as they were.

If something looks off

  • You deleted the workout in Health: it does not come back on the next sync — we remember that you took it out.
  • The calories did not move the balance. When Health already reports the day’s expenditure, that expenditure is counted once, and the workout stays for the volume — what you did and how much.
  • Yesterday’s workout cannot be added: the diary writes today only.

It did not work?
