## What is Exercise?

Exercise is the workout planner that runs your workouts for you. Build any routine with sets, reps, weights, timed holds, rests, and circuits, then train hands-free with automatic timers on iPhone and Apple Watch while every set is logged for you.

No mental math, no guesswork, no watching the clock.

LET EXERCISE RUN IT
• Timers and rest countdowns start and advance automatically
• Hear spoken cues for the current exercise, rest countdown, and what's next
• A Live Activity keeps your timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Start with Siri or Shortcuts, or jump in from a widget or Control Center
• Adjust reps, weights, or duration mid-workout without losing your place

TRAIN ON APPLE WATCH

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-19

- Added spoken workout cues that announce the current exercise, rest countdowns, and what's coming up next. Turn them on from the toolbar while logging on iPhone, or from the new controls menu on Apple Watch. Each device has its own setting.

- Circuits in the log's Edit screen now show each round separately, so you can reorder exercises within one specific round instead of the whole circuit at once. Rounds you've already completed are protected from being changed by accident.
