Recording a Strength Training Activity

You can record sets during a strength training activity. A set is multiple repetitions (reps) of a single move. You can create and find strength workouts using Garmin Connect™ and send them to your watch.

  1. Press START.
  2. Select Strength.

    The first time you record a strength training activity, you must select which wrist your watch is on.

  3. Select a workout.
    NOTE: If you don't have any strength workouts downloaded to your watch, you can select Free > START, and go to step 6.
  4. Press DOWN to view a list of workout steps (optional).
    TIP: While viewing workout steps, you can press START to view an animation of the selected exercise, if available.
  5. Press START > Do Workout > START > Start Workout to start the set timer.

    The device counts your reps. Your rep count appears when you complete at least four reps.

  7. Press Lap symbol to finish the set.

    The watch displays the total reps for the set. After several seconds, the rest timer appears.
