Today's Workout

Where today's workout lives

There are two reliable places:

1. /dashboard/client — the Today's Workout card at the top.
2. /workout-tracker — the dedicated "start" page.

Both pull the same data — whichever workout template lives on today's slot in your active program's 7-day cycle.

If today is a rest day, you see Rest Day and "No workout scheduled. Take it easy and recover."

Step-by-step: starting

1. Open /dashboard/client.
2. Find the Today's Workout card — shows workout name, exercise count, estimated duration.
3. Click Start Workout.
4. The execution screen opens — first exercise visible with its GIF.

During the workout

For each exercise:

• The GIF loops automatically (showing the form).
• Below: weight, reps, RPE, RIR controls.
• See the Logging a Set article for input details.
• After completing the set, tap Mark Set Complete → rest timer starts.
• After last set, the screen advances to the next exercise.

Other controls available throughout:

• Substitute Exercise → swap for an alternative (see article).
• Adjust Workout → adapt the whole session (see article).
• Skip Exercise → mark as skipped, advance.
• Exit Workout → saves draft as "skipped", you can come back later.

Finishing

After the last set of the last exercise:

• The screen shows total volume + adherence %.
• Optional Workout Notes field — add subjective feedback.
• Click Complete Workout. Status flips to completed, your trainer is notified.
