If you miss a workout or physically skip a workout in your strength training plan, future workouts in the plan will adjust automatically to keep you on track for your goal. If you skip several workouts, you may receive a message asking if you want to pause the strength training plan and pick it up again at a later date. Once a workout has been missed or skipped, it cannot be rescheduled since strength training plans are designed to adapt automatically.
If you know ahead of time that you will not be able to complete your next scheduled workout, you can reschedule it from the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Connect website.
