Living with the plan

Once the plan is built, your week appears on the calendar and Up Next tells you what today is for. You can edit the programme, swap days or generate a new plan whenever life changes.

  • On the calendar a bar is a workout, two dots are cardio, a short bar and a dot is both, and a faint dash is a rest day.
  • Done days fill in, missed days fade and swapped days are marked.
  • You can plan up to a year ahead, and monthly adherence shows how much of the plan you kept.
