Introduction

Fitbod will periodically ask you to rate the difficulty of a certain set, rep, and weight combination. Your Exertion Rating will help optimize future weight recommendations and keep you in the ideal range!

Exertion is defined as how much effort and energy was expended while performing the prescribed sets, reps, and weight.

Exertion Rating for iOS

If you have not yet logged an exercise, Fitbod will recommend a set, rep, and weight scheme based on our Warm Start model (information on Warm Start). If you complete and log this Warm Start recommendation, Fitbod will prompt you to enter your Exertion Rating. If you modify the prescribed sets, reps, and weight, Fitbod will assume you modified the scheme to your capability and will not explicitly prompt you to rate your effort exertion.

For exercises you have logged before, you may enter your Exertion Rating after logging all sets. Your Exertion Rating should assess your highest effort set (most reps/weight) or your last set (if all sets are the same). The option to enter your Exertion Rating appears at the bottom of the set list:
