Workouts vs Routines in Hevy — What They Mean and How to Use Them

In Hevy, the terms “workout” and “routine” refer to two different things. 

Routine: A routine is a plan for a workout. A routine will be saved in the routine section of the app for you to complete at any time. 

Workout: A workout is when you are actively logging what you are doing at the gym.

How to Create a Routine

1. Workout tab: Tap “New Routine”
2. Create a routine by adding exercises, sets, and any other details.
