    Fitbod’s Metrics Broken-Down

    Fitbod’s a good training partner because it gets to know you. 

    It does that by gathering, compiling, and analyzing your data. All of this comes from your past workouts you've logged and is available for you to track over time. Check out the breakdowns of each Fitbod metric to help you reach your fitness goals. 

     

     

    Estimated Strength

    For weighted exercises, Estimated Strength (previously known as your “Projected 1 Rep Max”) is a metric that tells you the most weight Fitbod estimates you can lift in 1 rep. For bodyweight exercises, your Estimated Strength (previously known as your “Projected 1 Set Max”)  is the highest number of reps Fitbod thinks you can do in 1 set.

     

    What Can Impact Your Estimated Strength?

    During any given workout, your set, rep, and weight breakdown per exercise have the biggest impact on your Estimated Strength. Fitbod also accounts for how much time has elapsed between exercise performances. For example, you’ll probably see a dip in your Estimated Strength if you take a break from training because our app is trying to accommodate for any loss you might have incurred during your time off.

     

    Your Estimated Strength Record 

    Your Estimated Strength Record is the highest weight (or, in the case of bodyweight exercises, the highest amount of reps) you achieved for a particular exercise. Fitbod will also take into account all of your past workout data with Fitbod.

     

    Muscle Strength 

    What distinguishes the Muscle Strength score from Estimated Strength? Estimated Strength pertains to a single exercise and represents the weight Fitbod estimates you could lift in a single all-out-effort rep, measured in lbs or kgs.

    On the other hand, the Muscle Strength score is an aggregated score, not measured in lbs/kgs, that reflects the overall strength of a specific muscle group based on all the exercises you perform for that muscle. For instance, your Estimated Strength for Barbell Bench Press might be 100 lbs., while your Muscle Strength score for your chest could be 57 mSTRENGTH, considering not just your bench press but also exercises like push-ups, chest fly, cable push, and any other workouts targeting your chest.

     

     

    Volume

    Volume is the product of the sets, reps, and weights you lift while performing an exercise. For example, if you did four sets of ten reps with 100 pounds, the volume lifted would be 4,000 pounds. It’s the same for metric units. If you did four sets of 10 reps with 45 kilograms, the volume lifted would be 1,800 kilograms. 

     

    Your Volume Record 

    Your volume record is the highest volume of weight logged for a particular exercise. It takes into account all of your past workout data with Fitbod. 

     

     

    Reps

    Reps are the number of repetitions you perform for any given exercise. Fitbod records the highest number of reps done for a given set of any applicable exercises. For example, if you did two sets of ten reps, then two sets of twelve reps, your rep record for that exercise would be twelve in one set. 

     

    Your Rep Record 

    Your rep record represents the highest number of reps that have been logged for an exercise in a given set. This number accounts for all of your past data.

     

     

    Weight

    Fitbod measures your Weight metric as the heaviest weight that you’ve lifted while performing a given exercise. For example: If you did one 25-pound set, then a 50-pound set, and finished with a 75-pound set, Fitbod would mark the weight you lifted for that workout as 75 pounds.

     

    Your Weight Record 

    By taking all of your workout data into account, Fitbod’s Weight Record is the heaviest weight you’ve lifted while performing a given exercise in any logged workout. 

     

     

    Exercise Time 

    Your exercise time metric is the longest duration done for a single set of an exercise, either looking at today's performance or across all performances in a specified time period.

     

    Total Time

    Your total time metric is the total amount of time you performed an exercise across all sets, either looking at today's performance or across all performances in a specified time period.

     

     

    Distance 

    Your distance metric is the furthest distance traveled for a single set of an exercise, either looking at today's performance or the range across all performances in a specified time period.

     

    Distance Record

    Your distance record represents the longest distance you've ever logged in one set, across all sets logged in Fitbod for a specific exercise.

     

    Total Distance 

    Your total distance metric is the total distance you traveled across all sets, either looking at today's performance or across all performances in a specified time period.

     

    Total Distance Record

    Your distance record represents the longest total distance you've ever logged, across all sets logged in Fitbod for a specific exercise. 

     

     

    Split

    Your split metric is the top speed you performed in a single set or performance of an exercise.

    For example, if you're running five miles, your time at each mile marker would be a split pace. 

    Or if you run 5 miles in 60 minutes, your average speed would be your split metric.

    Your split metric is the highest split in a single set, either looking at today's performance or across all performances in a specified time period.

     

    Split Record 

    This is the best split completed in a single set, across all performances of that exercise logged in Fitbod.

     

     

    How to View Your Exercise History 

    Three ways to easily access your Exercise History: 

    • In the Workout tab, hit the three dots (“…”) next to any exercise, then select “Exercise History” 
    • In the Log tab, pick any exercise to see a record of all Fitbod’s logged data for that particular exercise
    • When viewing one of your past workouts, select an exercise, scroll down, and hit “Exercise History”

    Muscle Splits

    Try a new training split to surprise your muscles by working them in a different order or in different groups. Check out Fitbod’s training split options:

     

    Fresh Muscle Groups

    Workouts are built around your two freshest primary muscle groups and your core, either abs or lower back. Exercises are picked according to exercise science’s best practices and your muscle recovery levels.

     

    Full Body

    Workouts that engage your whole body. Exercises are picked according to exercise science’s best practices and your muscle recovery levels.

     

    Upper/Lower Split

    Workouts that target your upper body or lower body separately. Upper body workouts train your shoulders, biceps, triceps, upper back, neck, and traps. Lower body workouts train your glutes, hamstrings, quads, hip flexors, and calves. Fitbod will recommend core muscles in either split if they are sufficiently recovered.

     

    Push/Pull/Lower Split

    Workouts that target specific muscle functions and groups: Push, Pull, and Lower body workouts. Push exercises that train your chest, triceps, and shoulders. Pull exercises that train your upper back, lower back, and biceps. Lower body exercises that train your hamstrings, quads, and glutes.

     

     

    Equipment (iOS only)

    Quickly change your available equipment information to enable Fitbod in tailoring workouts according to your specific training conditions and surroundings. If you're not working out at your usual gym, inform Fitbod about the equipment you have access to with this Training Session mod, and it will craft the current workout customized to you.

     

    Do you want to experiment with a different piece of equipment? Simply include it for today's workout.

     

     

    Fitness Goal

    Change your Workout Goal for a session if you feel like switching things up or want to try something new! For more information about Fitbod's Fitness Goal options, please visit our Fitness Goal Help Center article. Here’s a refresher on our available workout goals:

     

    General Fitness (Maintenance Workout)

    Want a change…but not sure what kind? Pick this goal. Fitbod will generate full-body routines that burn fat, build muscle, and feature a variety of exercises and equipment.    

     

    Bodybuilding (Increase Muscle Mass & Size)

    Switch to Fitbod’s Bodybuilding goal for more reps with less weight. You’ll work on muscle definition by isolating muscles, depending on your training split. 

     

    Strength Training (Get Stronger & Lift More Weight)

    Fitbod’s Strength Training goal builds muscle mass, improves functional fitness, and activates different muscle groups. You’ll practice compound movements to focus on large muscle groups and train accessory muscles. 

     

    Muscle Tone (Get Lean & Burn Calories)

    Get your heart rate high with the Muscle Tone goal. Pick this to try muscle tone-improving and calorie-burning routines. They’ll include a mix of compound and isolation exercises with higher reps and shorter rest periods. 

     

    Powerlifting

    This goal is a bit more advanced, with the aim to get better at the sport of powerlifting. You’ll focus on the three main lifts of the sport: The bench press, squat, and deadlift. Fitbod will recommend higher weights, fewer reps, and only a little cardio in line with your training splits.

     

    Olympic Weightlifting

    Fitbod’s most specific goal is also for its most advanced lifters. Choose this one to practice two lifts: The snatch and the clean and jerk. You’ll perform more sets, fewer reps, and only a little cardio while focusing on compound movements and full-body splits to build strength in each technique.

     

     

    Difficulty 

    Feeling a bit fatigued before today's workout? Use this Training Session Mod to quickly update your exercise difficulty for today's workout to better fit today's circumstances. Alternatively, you can use this Training Session Mod to enhance the intensity of your workout, especially if you're in the mood for a more daring session today.

     

     

    Exercise Type

    Adjust workouts to use all of your available equipment (All Exercises), or switch to bodyweight only for this session. 

     

     

    Exercise Variability (iOS only)

    Use this Training Session Mod to make your current workout more consistent or with more variability in terms of exercises. Increasing exercise variability for a single workout can offer several advantages such as preventing plateaus and boredom! However, increasing consistency can provide a more targeted/focused workout. Freely adjust to what you want to accomplish for today's workout!

     

    ***Important Note:

    Exercise Variability is only available as a Training Session Mod for those who have logged at least 30 workouts in their Fitbod account.

     

     

    Warm-up/Cooldown (iOS only)

    Quickly add mobility exercises as a warm-up (before your workout) or cool-down (after your workout) to your current workout.

    For more information on Fitbod's Warm-up/Cool-down feature, please visit our Warm-up/Cool-down Help Center article.

    Introduction

    In your Gym Profile, you can find several options to tailor Fitbod to your unique fitness preference. For example, you’ll be able to generate workouts based on your goals, what equipment you have, and how much time you have to work out. There are additional settings to further personalize your program to better fit your workout style, likes, and dislikes. 

     

    Gym Profile Settings

    Available Equipment

    Customize your generated workouts based on the available equipment at your gym, work, or home. You can quickly select/unselect equipment based on category (i.e. Free Weights, Racks, Bars, & Benches, etc.). To do this, scroll to the desired category and SELECT ALL if you'd like to select all pieces of equipment as available or DESELECT ALL to mark as unavailable.

     

    Important Note:

    ***Exercise equipment labeled with a “checkmark” indicates that it is available to you. Exercise equipment labeled in white (with no “checkmark”) indicates that it is NOT available to you.

     

    Bodyweight Only Workout

    This Your Gym profile option is great if you don’t have any fitness equipment available or you simply don’t want to use any. Toggling this option ON will only recommend exercises that do not require any fitness equipment. Many users utilize this option while traveling (no gym available) or for a quick home/outdoor workout.

     

    Fitness Goal

    Select a fitness goal that best suits your fitness needs and interests. Fitbod’s fitness goals were created by Fitbod’s team of fitness experts and trainers. The listed Fitness Goals are as follows:

    General Fitness

    Overall great total body program.

    Strength Training

    Focus on getting stronger and building muscle mass. High amounts of compound movements while engaging large muscle groups. Focused muscle groups: chest, back, legs, shoulders.

    Muscle Tone

    Higher reps and lower rest times keep your heart rate high during a workout. Also, more time will be recommended for cardio exercises.

    Bodybuilding

    A routine a bodybuilder might follow. Similar to strength training but biceps and triceps are included in focused muscle groups. Furthermore, the focus isn't totally about getting stronger but more on the physique.

    Powerlifting

    Competitive back squat, bench press, and deadlift type routine. One of these lifts or variations will be a part of every workout. Lower reps and higher weight with less cardio. Only upper/lower split or full body option.

    Olympic Weightlifting

    Variations of the clean, jerk, and snatch. Less cardio, more sets of fewer reps (e.g., singles, doubles). Always a full-body workout.

     

    Q: “My fitness goal is to ‘lose weight' and this isn’t a fitness goal in Fitbod, which fitness goal is right for me?”

    A: When someone wants to “lose weight," they usually mean they want to lose fat. We quote “lose weight” because weight can be an uninformative number and shouldn’t be the primary focus when beginning a fat loss journey. Losing fat while gaining muscle does not necessarily mean you are going to lose weight.

    A common misconception people have is that exercise alone is going to result in a substantial amount of fat loss. For example, doing a ton of sit-ups is going to flatten your abdomen region, which is simply not true. Exercise (a combination of strength and cardio) is an important factor when wanting to lose fat, but the main driver is going to be diet and eating habits. So how can Fitbod help you lose fat? Using Fitbod in combination with following a healthy nutrition plan, you will surely be able to reach your fat loss fitness goal. It is recommended to select either General Fitness, Muscle Tone, or Strength Training (whichever best fits your secondary fitness goals) in the app if you are looking to “lose weight." You can also use a combination of these Fitness Goals by creating multiple gym profiles.

     

    Fitness Experience

    Tailor your workouts based on your fitness experience. This gym profile setting will ensure that Fitbod is not recommending exercises that are out of your comfort zone or too difficult. It is important to begin building your strength and familiarizing yourself with the basics before moving to more advanced movements. This will increase your comfort level and confidence in the gym while reducing the chance of injury.  

     

    Circuits & Supersets

    With this setting turned ON, Fitbod will organize your recommended workout into supersets & circuits. A superset is when you do two exercises back to back with little to no rest between them. A circuit is when you do three or more exercises back to back with little or no rest between them.

    For more info on how circuits & supersets work and how to create them, please visit Circuits & Supersets.

     

    Cardio Recommendations

    Tailor your workouts even further by selecting your preferred cardio exercise, whether that be steady-pace or HITT, you decide. You'll have the option to select which cardio exercise you’d rather do and remove the ones you don't from your program. You also can select if you prefer your cardio session to be before or after your strength training workout.

     

    Warm-up Sets

    Lifting heavy and want to acclimate your muscles and joints to the movement? This setting will automatically add warm-up sets to the main lifts of your workout and when your lifts are a bit on the heavy side. 

     

    Warm-up & Cool-down

    iOS

    Insert a warm-up or cool-down routine consisting of Soft Tissue exercises, Static Stretches, Dynamic Stretches, and Primer exercises to your workouts.  For more info on why you should always warm-up and cool-down and how to add them into your workout, please visit Warm-up & Cool-down for more info.

     

    Android

    We're sorry, Warm-up & Cool-down exercises are not available on Android just yet! Our team is hard at work to bring the best features to match the great iOS app experience. To see other features that are on our roadmap for Android, please visit our Plans for Android page.

     

    Workout Duration

    Customize your workouts to fit the amount of time you have available to exercise.

    Please keep in mind that Fitbod estimates the completion time of a generated workout. The time it takes to complete a workout can differ amongst individuals even though the Workout Duration setting is the same. If you find yourself completing Fitbod workouts consistently faster or slower, please change the Workout Duration setting accordingly until you have reached a duration setting that best fits your goal.

     

    Training Splits

    This option allows you to choose how you want your workouts to be constructed based on the properties of the muscle groups. Please find additional information about each training split below:

    Fresh Muscle Groups

    Build your workout based on the two most fresh primary muscle groups and core. The two selected muscle groups are based on muscle recovery state, exercise history, and fitness goal.

    Upper/Lower Split

    Target either your upper or lower body.

    Full Body

    Build a workout that targets all muscle groups.

    Push/Pull/Lower Split

    Push - Chest, Triceps, and Shoulders

    Pull - Back and Biceps

    Lower - Legs and Glutes

     

    Important Note:

    ***Core (Lower Back and Abs) will be recommended in every workout!

     

    Exclude Exercises

    This option will prevent specific exercises from being included in your generated workouts. Many users use this option when recovering from an injury and have limitations when performing certain movements. You can quickly select/unselect equipment by tapping the name of the exercise on the list.

    Exercises labeled with a “checkmark” indicate exclusion from your exercise library.

    Exercise equipment labeled in white (with no “checkmark”) indicates inclusion in your exercise library.

     

    Important Note:

    ***We're sorry, Excluded Exercises are not available on Android just yet! Our team is hard at work to bring the best features to match the great iOS app experience. To see other features that are on our roadmap for Android, please visit our Plans for Android page.

     

    Muscle Recovery Percentage

    This Your Gym profile option will allow you to manually adjust the recovery state of your muscle groups. Many users utilize this option if their muscles recover at a different pace than what the app had anticipated.

    You can also edit these percentages within your Recovery screen by selecting # Fresh Muscle Groups (top right corner) > Edit (top right corner)

    For information about how Fitbod measures muscle recovery, please visit the How Fitbod Measures Muscle Recovery article.

     

    Multiple Gym Profiles

    With Fitbod, you can have multiple Your Gym profiles! This feature is great if you exercise at more than one gym (commercial gym vs. home gym) and travel frequently so you’ll be able to get a great workout wherever you are. It is also very useful if you like to switch in between Fitness Goals depending on your routine. For example, if you plan on working out 4 days per week, you can focus on strength training for 2 days out of your routine and Olympic weightlifting on the other 2 days by simply switching to your appropriate Your Gym profile.

    To add additional Your Gym profiles:

    1. Go to the Workout screen
    2. Your Gym profile (top center)
    3. “...” Icon
    4. + Create New Gym Profile
    5. Create a name for your profile

    Muscle Recovery in Fitbod

    Regular exercise (both cardio and strength-based training) can provide short-term and long-term benefits to your health. A major component that many people miss during their fitness journey is the importance of muscle recovery. With Fitbod, you can track the recovery state of your muscle groups based on your logged workouts and the app will plan your next workout based on your muscle recovery state.

    How Fitbod Measures Muscle Recovery

    When you log an exercise, Fitbod measures the impact of the particular exercise, sets, reps, and weight on a muscle group. After completing a full workout, Fitbod provides a composite heat-map visualizing how the set of exercises performed has collectively impacted the muscular system.

    For an individual muscle group, Fitbod examines the sum of all exercises targeting that muscle group and assigns a muscle recovery percentage between 0% and 100%. Muscles fully recover over a 6-day period in Fitbod.

    If you have granted Apple Health sync permissions or inputted your Body Stats (Height, Weight, Age, Gender, etc), Fitbod will adjust your muscle recovery percentage appropriately. 

    For cardio exercises, Fitbod will also take into account how often and frequently you log a given cardio exercise when computing muscle recovery state.

    Fitbod attempts to design a full workout considering the relative freshness of all muscle groups. However, it’s not necessary to avoid a muscle until 100% recovery. You can continue to work semi-recuperated muscle groups as long as you provide ample recovery time. Fitbod will never recommend an exercise that targets a 0% recovered muscle group, unless under specific conditions.

    This option in Your Gym profile will allow you to manually adjust the recovery state of your muscle groups. Many users utilize this option if their muscles recover at a different rate than what the app had anticipated.

    You can also edit these percentages within your Recovery screen by selecting Muscle Group Percentages from with Your Gym Profile and then Edit (top right corner).
