Easy Steps
On a mobile device, holding your finger down on an exercise will bring up the contextual menu of functions. On a PC or Mac, do a Right-click to get the same menu.
For this tutorial, we'll be focusing on the exercise search function that sits behind the Insert exercise and Rapid insert exercises functions.
Click on any exercise in the program to bring up the contextual menu, then click the Rapid Insert Exercise option.
Enter part of the exercise name in the search field, then click the magnifying glass icon to start the search. Exercise tags will automatically be used to identify exercises with alternate names.
- Example: Lunges, which are also known as split squats in certain countries.
Search results are listed here. Exercise name tags are shown under the exercise name to indicate the name match.
Multiple exercises can be chosen from the list.
Clicking 'Add and Close' will add the exercises to the program and close the list. To keep the list open while adding exercises, click 'Add and Stay'.
Both exercises have been successfully added to our program, with a new modifiable section title name.
Open the contextual menu again. This time, let's explore the Insert Exercise Before or After function.
Click the magnifying glass to access the search feature, the same one we used for the Rapid search.
Start typing the name of the exercise you’re looking for. A minimum of three letters is needed here.
Click the magnifying glass to launch the search.
Select the desired exercise from the list.
This time, you are taken to your selected exercise in its library. Here, you can see where it sits in the progression of exercises for that muscle group or movement pattern. You also have the option to select a more or less advanced exercise.
Set the exercise parameters at this point or do it later in the program or session.
Click the 'Add' button to add the exercise to the program or session.
The exercise has been added with an exercise section title. You can rename the title by clicking on it, or delete it using the contextual menu’s delete items option.
