Swap a taken machine

Leg press taken? Swap it for something that works the same muscle, just for today. Your routine doesn't change.

48-second clip, with sound

Swap the bench press

  1. Start your workout as usual.
  2. Tap the two arrows next to the exercise name.
  3. In Try instead, tap the exercise you can get to.
  4. Log its sets as usual. Next time, your routine starts with the original again.
  1. Tap the swap button

    During a workout, tap the two arrows next to the exercise name on its card. They show while the exercise still has planned sets left.

  2. Pick something close

    Try instead lists exercises that work the same muscle, triceps for triceps rather than curls. Each one says why it fits, like Same movement, and Last: shows what you lifted on it before. Library exercises you haven't used yet say Adds it to your exercises.

    Only a few matches? Tap Show all to see every exercise for that muscle group.

    The Try instead sheet for Bench press, listing close alternatives with what was lifted last time.
  3. Keep going

    The new exercise takes the old one's place with the sets you had left and the same rest time. Sets you already logged stay on the old exercise.

  4. It lasts for this workout only

    Next time, your routine starts with the original exercise again. The finish recap and your charts note the swap, so a dip on the old lift makes sense later. Want to keep the new one? Tick the swap on the recap's "Update routine?" card.

  5. Without Premium

    Swapping is part of Premium. You can still open Try instead and see the matches. Picking one shows Keep it with Premium, or Go back to carry on as planned.
