Your log, swaps and a daily check-in

16 August 2026 Web

A full workout log, swapping exercises, a weekly progress bar, and a check-in where you say how you feel in your own words.

How are you today?

How to use the Liftspan daily check-in. No sound needed: the steps are on screen.
Rather read it? The walkthrough, step by step
  1. Tell Liftspan how you feel. Today's session bends around it.
  2. On Today, type how you feel, in your own words.
  3. Tap Go.
  4. Moves that load your knee swap out, and a tired day gets lighter.
  5. Tomorrow your normal plan comes back.

Tell Liftspan how you feel in your own words, like "shoulder's cranky, slept badly", and today's session reshapes around it: moves that load that joint swap out, and a tired day gets a little lighter. It only changes today. The check-in is now part of Pro.

Your log and past efforts

How to see your progress in Liftspan. No sound needed: the steps are on screen.
Rather read it? The walkthrough, step by step
  1. Proof you are getting stronger.
  2. Tap You, then Progress.
  3. Your estimated max on every lift, and your weekly volume.
  4. Every personal record, with the date you set it.
  5. Every session lives in your log: Plan, then Everything you have logged.

Every finished session is saved in your Log, week by week. Each exercise shows what you did last time, so you know what to beat. Open it from Plan, under Everything you have logged.

Swap an exercise

How to swap an exercise in Liftspan. No sound needed: the steps are on screen.
Rather read it? The walkthrough, step by step
  1. Machine taken, or just not feeling it? Swap it.
  2. Find the move in today's lineup and tap swap.
  3. Liftspan picks a move for the same muscles, fitted to your room and joints.
  4. The weight carries over, so you pick up where you left off.

Not feeling a move, or the machine is taken? Tap Swap and Liftspan picks another that trains the same muscle, with the weight carried over. Unlimited swaps are now part of Pro.
