Introduction

If you want to make progress in your fitness journey, there are two golden rules:

1. Train consistently
2. Do better than last time

But how can you tell if you’re truly improving when you’re not tracking anything?
And how do you structure a week of workouts efficiently without wasting time before every session?

That’s exactly where an app like Fitlapse makes a huge difference.

1. Plan your workouts in advance

With Fitlapse, you can:

• Choose exercises from a well-illustrated library (machines, free weights, bodyweight)
• Create custom workout routines based on your goals (strength, bulking, cutting, cardio…) and the muscle groups you want to target (legs, back, chest, abs, etc.)
• Schedule sessions on specific dates, so your week looks like a real workout program

✅ Planning ahead helps you stay consistent, especially when motivation comes and goes.

2. Log your sets like a pro

During your workout, Fitlapse lets you log each set with:

• Weight used
• Number of reps
• Perceived difficulty level (😊 😐 😫 🥵)
• Duration timer (for plank-style or timed exercises)

The interface is super fast and designed to never slow you down:

• One tap to complete a set
• Long press to edit
• Quick navigation between exercises and sets

💡 Each exercise can store your history and suggest appropriate weights based on your level (novice, intermediate, etc.)

3. Why it’s better than a notebook or a note app

With Fitlapse, you never lose your data. You also don’t have to guess anymore:
“How much did I bench press last time?”

4. Analyze your progress

The app tracks all your data: weight, reps, difficulty, duration.
This lets you:

• See your progress over time
• Spot exercises where you’re plateauing
• Identify skipped or incomplete sessions

📈 Every exercise shows your best performance, recent sets, and even progress charts if you want them.

And it all works offline — no need for Wi-Fi or cloud sync.

5. Save time and boost motivation

When you have a clear plan, you waste less time at the gym and know exactly what to do.

And with each exercise’s history right there:

• Your previous weight is displayed ✅
• The app can suggest what weight to use next
• Rest timers run automatically between sets

😌 Result: less overthinking, more focus and efficiency.

Conclusion: Who is Fitlapse for?

• 👶 Beginners – to avoid getting lost and follow a simple structure
• ⏱️ Busy people – to get straight to the point every session
• 🧠 Serious lifters – to plan, track and optimize long-term progress
