Logging Workouts

Logging your workout is how your Level coach tracks your progress. Every set you record helps your coach understand what weight you are lifting, how hard it feels, and whether you are ready for more.

How to log a set

Each exercise in your workout has a set logging grid with rows for each prescribed set. The columns depend on the type of exercise:

Exercise Type	Columns
Reps & Weight (most exercises)	Set, Reps, Weight, RPE
Duration (planks, holds)	Set, Duration (seconds), RPE
Reps Only (bodyweight exercises)	Set, Reps, RPE
Distance & Time (cardio)	Set, Distance, Time, RPE

To log a set:

1. Open your workout from the Workouts page
2. Find the exercise and its set logging grid
3. Tap a field and enter your value (reps, weight, duration, etc.)
4. Move to the next field — your entry saves automatically when you tap away

A green checkmark appears next to the set number once your data is saved. You can edit any field at any time by tapping it again.

Tip

Your weight values from last session are pre-filled with a dashed border. This makes it easy to see what you lifted last time and either match it or go heavier.

Guided mode

Instead of logging sets manually one exercise at a time, you can use guided mode to walk through your entire workout sequentially.

Starting guided mode

Tap the Start Workout button at the top of any incomplete workout. A floating panel appears at the bottom of the screen showing your current segment, a running timer, and controls.

If you already logged some sets earlier and come back to finish, guided mode automatically skips ahead to your first unlogged set.

How it works

Your workout is broken into a chain of segments — alternating between work sets and rest periods. The timer panel guides you through each one:

1. Work segment — The panel shows the exercise name, set number, and a timer counting up. When your coach has prescribed a time (for exercises like planks or holds), an alarm chimes when you reach the target. The alarm repeats every 2 seconds as a reminder if you keep going past the prescribed time.
2. Stop — Tap Stop to end the segment. For work segments, the panel expands to show logging inputs.
3. Log your set — Enter your reps, weight, and RPE (or duration, depending on the exercise type). Duration fields auto-fill from the timer. Tap Log & Next to save and move to the rest segment.
4. Rest segment — The timer counts your rest period. When you are ready, tap Stop to move to the next set.
5. Repeat until all sets and exercises are done.

The panel also shows a progress bar and segment counter so you always know where you are in the workout.

Controls

• Pause / Resume — Freezes and resumes the timer
• Stop — Ends the current segment and records the time
• Exit — Leaves guided mode (with a confirmation prompt). Your logged sets are saved even if you exit early.

Active exercise highlighting

While guided mode is running, the current exercise card is highlighted on the page. When the timer advances to a new exercise, the page automatically scrolls to bring that card into view.

Workout summary

After you finish the last segment, the panel shows a completion summary with:

• Total workout duration
• Number of segments and sets completed
• Prescribed vs. actual time comparisons for timed exercises (like planks or holds)

Tap Complete Workout to mark it done and earn your XP, or Keep Going if you want to add extra sets.

What is RPE?

RPE stands for Rate of Perceived Exertion. It is a simple 0-10 scale that measures how hard a set felt. Your coach uses RPE to understand your effort level and make better programming decisions.

Here is how to think about the RPE scale:

RPE	What it means	How it feels
6	Hard	Can speak in short sentences
7	Hard	Challenging, 3-4 reps left in the tank
8	Very Hard	Tough, 1-2 reps left in the tank
9	Very Hard	Almost maximal, maybe 1 rep left
10	Maximum	All-out effort, nothing left

For most working sets, your coach programs for RPE 7-8. This means you should finish the set feeling like you could have done 1-3 more reps. RPE 9-10 should be reserved for your heaviest sets or the last set of an exercise.

RPE is optional — you do not have to enter it for every set. But the more RPE data your coach has, the better it can adjust your training intensity over time.

Tip

If you are new to RPE, start by rating just your heaviest sets. Over time, you will develop a feel for how to rate every set. A simple rule: if you had to grind out the last rep, that is RPE 9. If you stopped with gas in the tank, that is RPE 7.

RPE color coding

The RPE field changes color based on your rating:

• Green (RPE 7) — good working intensity
• Yellow (RPE 8) — solid effort
• Orange (RPE 9) — near-maximal
• Red (RPE 10) — all-out effort

These colors give you a quick visual sense of how intense your session is.

AI Suggest

If you are not sure what weight to use for an exercise, tap the AI Suggest button (the sparkle icon). Your coach will analyze your previous sessions and suggest weights and reps for each set. The suggestions appear as pre-filled values that you can accept or adjust.

Previous session data

Below the exercise name, you will see a summary of your last session for that exercise (for example, “Last: 3x10 @ 40-45kg — 5 days ago”). Tapping this summary opens a detailed view of your previous logs for that exercise, so you can see exactly what you did last time.

This makes progressive overload easy — just glance at what you did before and try to do a little more.

Volume trends

For exercises where you are logging reps and weight, a volume trend indicator appears next to the exercise name. This shows whether your total volume (sets x reps x weight) is up, down, or the same compared to your last session for that exercise.

• Green arrow up (+X%) — you lifted more volume than last time
• Red arrow down (-X%) — you lifted less volume
• Gray dash (Same) — volume matched your last session

Completing a workout

When you have finished all your sets, tap the Complete Workout button below your exercises. This marks the workout as done and earns you XP.

You can also mark a workout as incomplete if you tapped the button by mistake — just tap it again to toggle back.

Tip

You do not have to log every single set to complete a workout. If you need to skip an exercise or cut a session short, complete what you can and your coach will still track the data you entered.

Weekly check-in

At the end of each training week, you will see a Check In option on your workouts page. The weekly check-in lets you:

• Record your current weight
• Rate how the week felt (energy, motivation, recovery)
• Add notes about anything your coach should know
• Take progress photos (optional)

Your coach reviews your check-in data and uses it to make better decisions about your next phase.
