Getting Started With Strength Training on a Garmin Watch

The Strength activity profile lets you record the number of reps and sets, as well as being able to track the type of exercise performed. You can also enter the weight used for the exercise. After completing a set, strength activities feature rest periods to allow you to get ready for the next activity.

The Strength profile can be useful for tracking the following:

Counting movement repetitions (reps).
Keeping track of how many sets you have performed.
What muscle groups were worked (when viewed in the Garmin Connect™ account).
Type of exercises performed.
Viewing Work Time and Rest Time totals.

Your watch's owner's manual will contain steps for using the Strength activity. Select an option below to reveal additional details about options within the strength activity profile.
