Training Days is an accountability feature that tracks workout consistency from a bird’s eye view. A “Training Day” is counted as any day with at least one logged btwb result. In other words, you trained that day. The default view gives you a look at your entire year. The idea here is to give you a summary view of training habits so that you can monitor consistency over weeks, months, and years. Check out YOUR training days by heading to ANALYZE => TRAINING DAYS.
Review your current training days for the year, including days you set a PR, your feel good days, and nutrition days.
Take a screen shot of your Training Days for 2023 and tag us to be featured!
