This feature has been released in beta today. Public release coming up later this week. I'm marking it as "completed."

Health Connect Integration

James B 6 months ago updated by 72bmacd 2 weeks ago 1

Feature Request: 


Requesting Health Connect support for syncing weight, body fat percentage, and body measurements between Dr. Muscle and other apps like Samsung Health and Google Fit.


Suggested Functionality:


  • Read weight and body measurements from Health Connect.
  • Write workout data to Health Connect for cross-platform tracking.
  • This would allow automated data syncing instead of manual entry.

This is a new post because I didn't see one specifically for Health Connect.

Excluding or unfavouring an exercise

Seppo V 1 year ago updated by James B 6 months ago 1

In the excercise settings, it is possible to mark an excercise as favourite, but there is no option of excluding an excercise (or making the excercise un-favourite). 

For example, I cannot do front squats due to an injury. I can of course swap the excercise manually, but it would be better if I could exclude the excercise so that the AI would not offer it to me, and at the same time it could take into account in the workout programming that I am using an alternative excercise (if the AI goes that deep). If I can rehabilitate my injury, I might be able to do front squats in the future, so I could remove the exclude mark. 


Similarily, there might be an excercise I hate doing so I could mark it as unfavourite, and the AI would not recommend it often, but it would still not be completely excluded. Again, if the programming goes so deep that it builds workouts individually for each trainee - I have used the app only for few weeks, so I don't know if the app uses only cookie cutter templates, or if it builds the workouts individually after it gets enough data for the user.

Separate mobility and cardio workouts

Seppo V 1 year ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 1 year ago 1

Since the app already has the option of including mobility and cardio sessions in weight training workouts, it should not be a tall order to have the option to create separate cardio or mobility workouts.

Hi again Seppo,

Thanks for your suggestion. You can easily do cardio sessions like this:

  • Open the app
  • On your home page, scroll all the way down
  • Tap Exercises (bottom left)
  • Open any cardio exercise

To do a mobility session, you could start a workout and leave right after the mobility part. But you're correct that we could certainly create them as separate mobility workouts. We'll implement it when this gets more votes.

Best,

Carl

Message at start of workout to say if full effort or not

Patrick K 1 year ago 0

I think a brief message at the start to estate that you’re expecting the workout to be full effort or a little bit easier so that the participant doesn’t over train. Perhaps a colour code system. Blue - do as you’re instructed. Red - go all out.

Adjust workout time before starting a workout

Lou Belsito III 2 years ago 0

Another app's feature that allowed me to adjust my workout time just before starting my workout was very useful. The option was right at the top, just one click and I could alter that days' training time to accommodate my available time. This feature was particularly useful on days when I was not feeling up to a full workout or when I was under a time constraint. With Dr. Muscle, this feature may exist but I haven't come across it yet. I do see I can make the training period change within the settings/program but I don't know if that is a 'global setting' or a 'next workout setting.' For this feature, I only want to change the next workout. Again, Dr. Muscle may have this feature front and center but I'm not seeing it; it's not intuitive.

Custom cardio option

Wayne 2 years ago 0

I know this has been brought up previously and believe it needs to be offered as both part of a workout (add exercise) but also as a separate event outside of a weight workout. Long term, integration with strata, peloton, concept 2 etc. Would be great!

Is it possible not to have auto rotation for the video on iphone?

For exercises, have a short description with attention points

Would be good to have a short description with attention points for the exercise.

Some of these are new to me and now after the 3rd training I notice...

Adding detailed cardio

Wayne 3 years ago updated by Renita 5 months ago 4

Hi


I understand how to add cardio as an exercise. But as an example, I do outdoor bike rides. I click to add outdoor biking and it takes me through sets in the description. Cardio should be based on time, and distance. Also maybe an override for calorie expenditure.  As an example a casual stationary bike is not the same as a hard peloton ride.  It would be great to add this and have the algorithm calculate when you need to back off on cardio as well based on your goals
