What is the Warm-up Calculator?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hevy\u2019s warm-up calculator allows you to adjust some settings and more quickly add percentage-based warm-up sets to exercises while creating routines<\/a> (reusable workout templates) or logging live workouts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Use the Warm-up Set Calculator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Activate It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Navigate to your settings<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profile<\/strong> tab > Settings<\/strong> gear icon (top right) > Workouts<\/strong> (under Preferences<\/strong>) > Warm-up Calculator<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn it on via the toggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Select the Warmup Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tap Warmup Method<\/strong> to program your preferred warm-up sets. You can use the default formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Alternatively, tap on each set to change the percentage and reps and use the two grey buttons below to add or remove warm-up sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

You can also select the Reset to Default<\/strong> option at the bottom to change to the original formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Adjust Plate Rounding (optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Select your preferred weight increments for warm-up calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Adjust Dumbbell Rounding (optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, choose your preferred weight rounding when using dumbbells. For instance, if the dumbbells you use are in 2.5-kilogram increments, select that option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Add Warm-up Sets to Exercises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether creating a routine, logging a live session, or adding exercises to an empty workout<\/a>, you can tap the three dots on the top right of a movement and select Add Warm Up Sets<\/strong>. Write the target weight at the top and tap the blue Insert Warmup Sets button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The warm-up sets will appear at the top. You can always delete them or add additional warm-up sets by marking subsequent sets as warm-ups<\/a> (tap the number next to the set and select Warm Up Set<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
