The most common failure in a training log is writing in the wrong column. Record twenty-five minutes on the treadmill as “1 set × 10 reps” and, three months later, the entry tells you nothing at all. The Workout Routine Planner is a free web tool that gathers science-backed split recommendations, a weekly scheduler, a set-by-set logging note, and an 887-movement exercise compendium in one place. This update adds a Stretching · Weights · Cardio classification to all of it.
1. Three Log Sheets, Not One
Assigning a type to an exercise reshapes the columns of its log table. No empty fields left hanging, no numbers forced into the wrong place.
- Weights — load and reps per set, with an estimated 1RM derived from the Epley formula. Progressive overload becomes visible, and next week’s number becomes a decision rather than a guess.
- Cardio — time in minutes and distance in kilometres. Treadmill, stationary bike, rower, step mill, and jump rope all belong here.
- Stretching — hold time in seconds and repetitions, covering static stretches and foam-roller release work.
2. Classification Happens on Its Own
Movements loaded from the exercise compendium are classified automatically. The search panel carries a type filter, so narrowing the library to cardio machines or stretching work takes a single click. When a movement is typed in by hand, or when the automatic reading disagrees with what was actually performed, the type can be switched on the exercise card and applies immediately.
3. A Month of Training, Read at a Glance
Each day in the monthly calendar now prints that day’s weight sets, cardio minutes, and stretching reps side by side in distinct colours. Scanning the grid is enough to conclude that cardio went missing this month, or that stretching has been at zero for three weeks. A log is worth keeping not because it accumulates, but because it changes the next plan.
The weekly plan summary, the monthly statistics cards, and the shareable summary text all follow the same aggregation.
4. From Routine Design to Daily Logging
In the routine editor, each exercise carries its own type; switching it converts the target field to target reps, target minutes, or hold seconds and proposes matching defaults for sets and rest. Loading that routine into today’s log carries the types and targets across, so the gym floor is left with nothing to do but fill in numbers.
5. What Else Is Inside
- Full-body, upper/lower, anterior/posterior, push-pull-legs, four-day, and five-day split recommendations, filtered by experience level
- A weekday scheduler with a weekly volume summary by muscle group
- A rest timer that starts the moment a set is marked complete, with an audio cue
- Exercise compendium integration — form, cautions, and target muscles available from the logging screen
- Indefinite local retention, JSON export and import, and cloud backup sync
