Step-by-step guide

6 steps

  1. 1

    Define your exercise library

    Create a library of exercises with name, muscle group, and type (strength, cardio, flexibility). This becomes the source for building workouts.

  2. 2

    Build the app with Appaca

    Tell Appaca "Build a workout tracker with an exercise library, workout logging, set/rep tracking, and a progress chart." Appaca generates the full app.

  3. 3

    Create workout templates

    Build templates for your regular workouts - Push Day, Pull Day, Leg Day, etc. Templates make logging faster since you don't rebuild the workout each session.

  4. 4

    Log sessions with sets and reps

    For each exercise in a session, log the sets, reps, and weight used. Over time this builds your performance history.

  5. 5

    Track progressive overload

    Add a view that shows your heaviest weight or best set for each exercise over time. This is your progress chart.

  6. 6

    Add body metrics tracking

    Track weight, measurements, or performance benchmarks alongside your workouts for a complete picture of progress.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use workout templates?

Yes. Build templates for your regular sessions and clone them each time you train. You just need to fill in the weights.

Can I see my progress over time?

Yes. A chart view shows your performance on each exercise over time, making progressive overload visible.

Can I track cardio workouts too?

Yes. Add cardio exercise types with duration and distance instead of sets and reps.

Can multiple people use the same tracker?

Yes. Family members or training partners can each have their own log while sharing the exercise library.
