Workout
Track your exercise library, schedule workouts by day of the week, and log sets, reps, and weights.
Exercise library
Build your personal exercise collection. Each exercise has:
- Name — what you call it (e.g. “Bench Press”)
- Muscle group — Full body, Core, Legs, Chest, Back, Shoulders, Arms, Glutes, or Cardio
- Target sets — how many sets you aim for
- Target reps — how many reps per set
- Rest seconds — rest between sets
The library is yours alone — exercises you create aren’t shared with other users. You can soft-delete exercises you no longer use without losing historical tracking data.
Weekly scheduling
Assign exercises to each day of the week. Monday could be chest and triceps, Wednesday could be back and biceps, Friday could be legs. An exercise can appear on multiple days. Each day can have a custom name (e.g. “Push Day”) and a preferred workout time.
Three-level tracking
Workouts are tracked at three levels of detail — use whichever suits you:
Level 1: Workout completion
Mark a whole day’s workout as done — “I completed my Monday workout.”
Level 2: Exercise completion
Mark individual exercises as done within a workout — “I finished Bench Press during Monday’s workout.”
Level 3: Set tracking (most detailed)
Log each individual set: “Bench Press: set 1 = 10 reps, set 2 = 8 reps, set 3 = 6 reps.” This is the richest level of tracking and gives you the best data over time.
You can mix levels — track some exercises by set and others by simple completion.
Muscle group filtering
Browse your exercise library filtered by muscle group. When scheduling exercises for a day, quickly find all chest exercises or all leg exercises.
History and analytics
View your workout history: which days you worked out, which exercises you did, and your volume trends over time (sets × reps × weight). Weekly summaries show how many workouts you completed and which muscle groups you trained.
Tips
- Start with level 3 tracking: Even if you only track sets for a few key exercises, the historical data becomes very useful for progressive overload.
- Schedule your week: Setting up your weekly workout plan saves decision-making each day — just open the app and follow the plan.
- Target sets are guides: Your workout tracking is independent of your targets. Missing your target sets tells you to adjust; exceeding them tells you progress is happening.
Our approach
Oter’s workout system is built on progressive overload (DeLorme, 1945), self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 1997), and goal-setting theory (Locke & Latham, 2002). Three-level tracking provides feedback at the right granularity. Rest timers are grounded in recovery science, and flexible logging prevents all-or-nothing abandonment.
