What Are Exercise Notes?

Hevy offers two kinds of exercise notes:

1. Routine notes – you can add these to any exercise while building a routine (reusable workout template). They will appear with their respective exercises each time you use the routine to log a workout.

2. Workout notes – these are the notes you can write for specific exercises while logging a session. They are saved with the workout and available for future reference but don’t carry over from session to session.

What’s the Use of Exercise Notes? 

Routine exercise notes are useful for adding information that will be helpful every time you log a specific workout. They could be tips or reminders, such as “Slowly lower the weight until I feel a good stretch in the lat.” for a dumbbell row or “Elevate the front foot on three weight plates.” for a split squat.

Workout notes are useful for offering more information about a specific session and can provide value when examining your performance later. For example, “The weight felt lighter than usual,” or “Left knee was bothering me. I might need to reduce the weight or evaluate my technique.”

That said, you can use exercise notes however you want. Additional information provides depth and allows you to more accurately gauge your progress, leading to better decision-making with your programming.

WORK OUT. TRACK PROGRESS. SOCIALIZE.

Whether you’re a regular person, competitive bodybuilder, or athlete, Hevy allows you to log sessions, track progress, and socialize.

Best workout tracking app

This is by far my favorite workout tracking app. You can tell that the creators work out themselves because they know how important it is to be able to label drop sets, failure sets, supersets, etc. It allows me to track everything I need. When if it’s been a while since I did an exercise I can easily take a look at my history.

Kept Me Accountable

I have been using this app since January. I love it. It’s the thing that had kept me in the gym this year because it helps me see results. I love how it syncs with my watch and I can input the weight and reps on my watch or phone. I appreciate that it supplies workouts for different splits so I don’t need to pay for a trainer. I love how it holds the last rep and weight from the previous time I did the exercise.

Really helpful illustrations

My focus now is on building functional strength to avoid injuries as I age. Coming back to lifting as an adult with moderate gym anxiety, the Hevy app has helped me track progress on my weights and allowed me to make intelligent choices about increasing the amount I’m lifting. I really appreciate the illustrations and animations that help me learn new movements.

No. Whether logging a live session or building a routine, exercise notes are optional. It’s simply a feature that’s there when you need it.
Notes should be specific and relevant to your needs. Good routine notes often involve tips or reminders to help you train better and stay safe. Workout notes can be observations about your performance or how your body feels during an activity that can help you make better training decisions in the future.
Yes. Routine notes are saved to their respective exercises and are available each time you use a routine, but you cannot edit them while logging a workout. Below these notes, you can write workout exercise notes that are only saved for the specific session.
No, workout exercise notes only appear for the specific session in which they are added and don’t automatically appear when using the same routine from your library in the future.
Yes, any workout exercise note you’ve written is saved in your profile to the respective session. So, when reviewing old workouts, you can see the one-off notes, along with all the other training data like the number of sets, the load per set, the reps, and even the RPE.
