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 in your Garmin Connect™ account and send them to your watch.

  1. From the watch face, press Upper-right button.
  2. Select Activities > Gym > Strength.
  3. Select an option:
    • To do an open-ended workout, select Free.

      TIP: You can enable the Rest Countdown option to alert you after a specified rest timer duration.
    • To follow a structured workout, select a workout, scroll down and select a step to view the exercise animation (if available), and when you have finished viewing the workout, press Upper-right button, and select Do Workout.

      TIP: You can view the required equipment, edit the workout, and more before you start the workout.
  4. Press Upper-right button to start the activity.
  5. Start your first set.

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

    TIP: The watch can only count reps of a single move for each set. When you want to change moves, you should finish the set and start a new one.
  6. Press Lower-right button to finish the set and move to the next exercise, if available.

    The watch displays the total reps for the set.

  7. If necessary, edit the set, the number of reps, and the weight used for the set.
  8. If necessary, press Lower-right button when you are done resting to start your next set.
  9. Repeat for each strength training set until your activity is complete.
    TIP: During your workout, you can press Upper-right button to edit your previous sets. For structured workouts, you have options to skip a set or change the next set.
  10. After your last set, press Upper-right button, and select Stop Workout.
