Add exercises for each muscle group providing alternatives / categorize exercises by body part

Stéphan Gervais 7 years ago • updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 5 years ago • 5

1) More exercises

2) Categorize exercises by muscle group

* * *

Quand on veut sur faire un programme personnalisé, il serait agréable de pouvoir sélectionner des exercices dans une banque de données. Genre quand tu sélectionnes ton premier exercice il apparaîtrai une fenêtre avec plusieurs exercices selon les différents groupes de muscle. Ca serait vraiment génial et beaucoup plus rapide que de les inscrire un à un.

Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done! You'll find suggested exercises for the same body part the next time you swap an exercise during a workout (see image for a chest exercise).



If you're on Android, you can update now. If you're on iPhone, you'll have to wait 2-3 days for Apple to approve it. To update:

- Open the store app on your phone
- Search for Dr. Muscle
- Tap update

Now would be a great time to suggest and vote for our next feature. If you'd like to do that, please visit: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1-submit-your-feedback/topics#.

Really appreciate your support and advice. Thanks!

Good point and we'll definitely get to it. I'm marking this as planned.


For now, I recommend checking http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html. They have photos and videos for dozens of exercises for every major muscle group. They even have 92 exercises just for the abs :O

On the Custom Page, it leaves us with figuring it all out on our own. So maybe, if there’s a way I can tell Dr.Muscle that I want my week to be like the following and give me a list of exercises that I can select from, it kind of gives me a sense of fulfillment. 
Mon - SHOULDER & ABS
Tue - CHEST & TRICEPS
Wed - GLUTES & HAMSTRINGS
Thurs - BACK & BICEPS
Fri - LEGS

When I swap an exercise, I'd like to see suggested exercises for the same body part at the top.

+1 for this, as I wanted to make a suggestion to the app that I thought would be very useful in times when the gym is busier than usual. I would like to see if there are workout alternatives or variations that work the same muscle groups than it originally suggested. Sometimes the machines or weight racks are not always available either because the gym doesn’t carry them or the machines are just always busy with people occupying them. Just felt it would be useful without having to restructure your workout regime and reduce time in taking the guessing out of looking around. Just a thought.

Loving the app so far, been using it for almost a month now.
