Configure routine tasks
Tasks are the reusable steps in a routine. Use the mobile editor to configure their names, notes, timers, sets, reps targets, rests, and subtask structure for future runs.

Basic task details
Give each task a short name and put fuller instructions in its notes. Make it a subtask when it is part of a larger step. Reordering tasks or changing their level updates the routine for future runs. Duplicate Task copies the task and its subtasks. Delete Task removes the task without a second confirmation.
Timers, sets, and reps
Set a duration for one timed set. Sets tell you how many times to repeat the activity. Reps target tells you how many repetitions to aim for in each set. For example, three sets of ten reps means doing ten repetitions three times. Adding reps does not make the timer run longer.
Choose a rest time, use the routine's default, or turn rest off. You can also choose whether the timer can be finished early or use the routine's default for that setting.
Removing the timer keeps the task's sets, reps target, and rest settings, so you can still repeat the activity without a countdown.

Keep reusable details in routine tasks
For a custom gym workout, keep the exercise name short and use notes, timers, sets, reps targets, and rests for details that should carry into every run.
