Create and start your first workout

Operational steps

1. 1

   The first time, you can use `Free Workout` from Home; after that Home shows only a dismissible hint and the entry point stays in the `+` tab bar button.

2. 2

   If you want a template, use `My templates` from Home or open Templates: `My templates`, `Guided create`, `Discover FitLog`, and `Community` are clearer entry points into the same area.

3. 3

   If you already have a routine, go to `Library`, open the template, and launch it from there.

4. 4

   If Workout opens with a routine already loaded, you are in the preloaded state: review the structure first, then start logging for real.

The workout states you may see

• Empty state: no exercises added yet.
• Preloaded state: the template is ready, but the live session has not fully started yet.
• Active workout: you log sets, use timer, notes, or RPE, and Home may offer `Resume` if you leave mid-session.
• When no workout is active, Workout shows `Free Workout` and your most recent workout. Tap the previous workout to review exercises, sets, volume, and notes in its detail sheet.
• Just above the tab bar, `Suggested Next Workout` may appear. Today scheduled workout and the next active-mesocycle session always take priority; only when neither exists does FitLog Pro look for a repeated template rotation in history.
• The history suggestion does not use artificial intelligence: it compares up to 64 recent sessions, checks what followed the same sequence, and shows a template only when the result is not ambiguous. A free workout breaks the sequence, and a deleted template is never suggested.

Manage exercises you already completed

• When a completed card is collapsed, FitLog Pro collects it in one `Completed` section at the top of the workout instead of leaving it as a separate block.
• Each row keeps the exercise name, set count, and volume. Tap it to restore the full card, review the sets, or correct a value.
• Tap the `Completed` header to minimize the whole group into one row; tap it again to show the list.
• Grouping does not change the routine order. To move a completed exercise, tap its row to reopen the card, then long-press the card and drag it directly to its new position.
• When another exercise joins the group, FitLog Pro keeps the active exercise area stable to avoid a distracting jump during the session.

What happens when you start a template

• Tapping a template row opens a dedicated loading sheet immediately: it does not show `Start Workout`, `Schedule`, or `Details`.
• From the preview opened with the info icon, you can still tap `Start Workout`: in that case too, the sheet stays open until the workout is ready.
• The percentage follows real work: loading the template, applying exercise preferences, recovering recent loads, and preparing the session with connected devices.
• Use the info icon to show or hide operation details without interrupting preparation.
• You can use `Cancel` during preparation. At 100%, the sheet closes automatically and reveals the active workout.

What to expect

• You reach a verifiable result at the end of the flow.
• Saved data remains consistent with the guide objective.
• You can continue to related guides without extra setup.
