What Are Exercise Notes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hevy offers two kinds of exercise notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Routine notes<\/strong> – you can add these to any exercise while building a routine<\/a> (reusable workout template). They will appear with their respective exercises each time you use the routine to log a workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Workout notes<\/strong> – these are the notes you can write for specific exercises while logging a session<\/a>. They are saved with the workout and available for future reference but don\u2019t carry over from session to session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the Use of Exercise Notes? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Routine exercise notes are useful for adding information that will be helpful every time you log a specific workout. They could be tips or reminders, such as \u201cSlowly lower the weight until I feel a good stretch in the lat.\u201d for a dumbbell row or \u201cElevate the front foot on three weight plates.\u201d for a split squat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can include a link that\u2019s clickable when reviewing the routine or logging it as a live workout. For example, it could be a link to an instructional YouTube video. You\u2019re the only person who can see and click the link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Workout notes are useful for offering more information about a specific session and can provide value when examining your performance later. For example, \u201cThe weight felt lighter than usual,\u201d or \u201cLeft knee was bothering me. I might need to reduce the weight or evaluate my technique.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, you can use exercise notes however you want. Additional information provides depth and allows you to more accurately gauge your progress, leading to better decision-making with your programming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","yoast_head":"\nHow to Write Exercise Notes in Routines and Workouts -
