What's New in Exercise
1.6
October 28, 2026
Set goals for your exercises, see your upcoming routines on a calendar, and share workouts with friends. • New for Premium: Exercise Goals. Set a target for any exercise, such as 10 reps in one set, a 1:15 plank, or 3 workouts in a row, with an optional date range. Goals show at the top of Insights and as a dashed line on exercise charts. Insights also suggests goals from the exercises you do often. • New for Premium: Routine Calendar. Tap the calendar button in the Routines header to see your upcoming routine days by week, with the estimated length of each workout. • Improved scheduling for Smart Reminders and flexible routines. A routine you do a number of times a week or month, with no days picked, now shows your progress, such as "1 of 2 this week". Reminders are spread across the week, a late first workout still gets a reminder before the week ends, and Smart Reminders sends its extra reminder only when you fall behind. • New Consistency widget for your Home Screen shows a heat map of the days you worked out. • Share a workout with a friend. Exports now use an .exercisedata file that opens in Exercise, and you see what is inside before you import it. Importing a file requires Premium. • Change the weight on a set in workout mode. The new weight carries forward to your remaining sets and later circuit rounds. • Press and hold a running timer in workout mode to pause it, then tap to resume. Rest screens now show the weight to load for the next exercise. • A timer on a paused workout no longer gets stuck at zero. On Apple Watch, starting a timer while the workout is paused asks you to resume. • 18 new exercises, including warm-up mobility drills, yoga poses, Muscle-up, Oblique Crunch, and Band Pull-Apart. Several exercise descriptions are clearer. • In workout mode, when you finish an exercise after you reorder or swipe ahead, the app now moves you to the next unfinished exercise. A round rest no longer starts when you only swipe to it. • Timers that you start, pause, or stop on iPhone or Apple Watch stay in sync on the other device. • When you turn off Customize per set, sets you already completed keep their weight and reps. • Large imports run in the background, so the app stays responsive. • On Apple Watch, rest rings match the other rings, the rounded display corner no longer cuts off the adjust button, and the circuit round rest screen has a heading. • Fixed crashes that could happen when the app was suspended during iCloud sync. This update also includes bug fixes and performance improvements.
