Recording a Strength Training Activity
You can record sets during a strength training activity. A set is multiple repetitions (reps) of a single move. You
can create and find strength workouts using Garmin Connect and send them to your watch.
1Press START.
2Select Strength.
The first time you record a strength training activity, you must select which wrist your watch is on.
3Select a workout.
NOTE: If you don't have any strength workouts downloaded to your watch, you can select Free > START, and
go to step 6.
4Press DOWN to view a list of workout steps (optional).
TIP: While viewing workout steps, you can press START to view an animation of the selected exercise, if
available.
5Press START > Do Workout > START > Start Workout to start the set timer.
6Start your first set.
The device counts your reps. Your rep count appears when you complete at least four reps.
TIP: The device can only count reps of a single move for each set. When you want to change moves, you
should finish the set and start a new one.
7Press BACK to finish the set.
The watch displays the total reps for the set. After several seconds, the rest timer appears.
8If necessary, edit the number of reps.
TIP: You can also add the weight used for the set.

You should interact with the watch at the beginning and end of each set, and during rests.
Focus on your form while performing reps.
Perform bodyweight or free weight exercises.
Perform reps with a consistent, wide range of motion.
Each rep is counted when the arm wearing the watch returns to the starting position.
NOTE: Leg exercises may not be counted.
Turn on automatic set detection to start and stop your sets.
Save and send your strength training activity to your Garmin Connect account.
You can use the tools in your Garmin Connect account to view and edit activity details.
