Log your workouts
Updated 2026-07-06
Diet2Fit treats exercise the same way it treats food: plan it for the week, then log what actually happened. Your workout plan lives alongside your meal plan, with one slot for every day of the week — and logging a workout takes less than a minute from the Home tab.
Set up your week
For each weekday, you choose one of six options: Core, HIIT, Strength, Yoga, Cardio, or Rest. This is your weekly rhythm, and it repeats until you change it. A common starting pattern looks like:
| Day | Workout |
|---|---|
| Monday | Strength |
| Tuesday | Cardio |
| Wednesday | Yoga |
| Thursday | HIIT |
| Friday | Strength |
| Saturday | Core |
| Sunday | Rest |
You don't need to copy this — the whole point is that the plan is per-weekday and editable. If Tuesday is the day the office runs late, make Tuesday your Yoga or Rest day and put the sweatier sessions elsewhere.
Rest days count too
Rest is a workout type on purpose. Muscles adapt and get stronger between sessions, not during them, so a plan with no rest days usually ends one of two ways: burnout or a skipped week that turns into a skipped month. When you mark a day as Rest, the app treats it as part of the plan — you're not "missing" anything, you're following through.
If you're new to structured exercise, one or two rest days a week is a sensible floor. If you have an injury or a medical condition, check with a doctor or physiotherapist before deciding how hard to push.
Follow the guided sequence
Each workout type comes with a guided sequence — a step-by-step run-through of the session, so you're never standing in your living room wondering what comes next. Open the day's workout, start the sequence, and move through it at your own pace. No gym or equipment obsession required; the sequences are built to work in a normal Indian home, where floor space is often more available than machines.
Log it when you're done
When you finish, log the workout — the quickest route is the Log Workout Quick Action on the Home tab. The app records the session and shows an estimated kcal burn for it.
Two honest notes about that number:
- It's an estimate, not a measurement. Calorie burn varies with body size, intensity, and how much you rested between moves. Treat it as a rough gauge, not an exact figure to "eat back".
- Its real value is consistency. Logged workouts feed into your weekly picture on the Progress tab, so a string of logged sessions tells you far more than any single kcal number.
Log the workout even if you cut it short. A 15-minute session you recorded is real data; a 45-minute session you meant to do is not.
Tip: put your hardest workout on your easiest day
Look at your typical week and find the day with the least stress — for many people that's Saturday or Sunday, for others it's a quiet mid-week day. Schedule your toughest session (usually HIIT or heavy Strength) there. Motivation is a limited resource: when you stack a hard workout on top of a hard day, the workout is what gets dropped. Match effort to available energy and your adherence quietly improves without any extra willpower.
If your week changes
Plans are meant to be edited. Travelling, festival week, exams, a cold — swap days around rather than abandoning the week. Downgrading Thursday's HIIT to Yoga is a good decision, not a failure. The workout plan that survives your real life is the one that works.
