Need to shift your program's start date? Whether you're taking a rest day, starting a new phase, or just want to kick off today, you can reset your schedule by ending the program and starting it again with a new date. Here's exactly how.
💡 Don't worry — restarting a program won't delete your workout history. You'll still see all completed workouts and logged data in your profile.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Open Programs
From the app Dashboard, tap the Programs icon in the bottom menu.
Step 2: Select Your Program
Go to the Active section and tap the program you're currently on. This opens the program page.
Step 3: End the Current Program
Tap the End button in the bottom right corner, then tap End Program to confirm. The program is removed from your calendar, and your workout history stays saved.
Step 4: Start the Program Again
You'll land back on the program page. Tap Start Program to begin setting it up again.
Step 5: Choose Your Starting Point
If the program lets you pick a starting week or day, choose where you'd like to begin, then tap Next.
Starting fresh? Pick Week 1.
Getting back on track? Pick the week you actually left off on.
Step 6: Set Your Workout Days
Select the days of the week you'd like to train, then tap Next.
Step 7: Pick Your New Start Date
Choose any date — today or a future day — then tap Start Program to confirm.
✅ That's it! Your program now appears on your Home screen and in your Calendar with the new schedule.
👀 Weekly Moves works a little differently. Because it's added to your calendar by default when you join, it can't be paused — tap Unfollow to clear it from your calendar, and Follow when you want it back. Steps to unfollow Weekly Moves are here.
Common Scenarios
Need a rest day? Follow the steps above and, in Step 7, choose tomorrow's date (or whenever you're ready).
Starting a new phase? Follow the same steps to set a fresh start date.
Moving into a new trimester of Mom Moves? End your current trimester program, then start the next trimester's from Week 1. More on switching trimesters here.
Want to start today? Follow the steps above and, in Step 7, select today's date.
Fallen off track? If moving or skipping workouts has thrown off your week (say, you're actually on Week 4 but the app has bumped you to Week 5), follow the steps above and, in Step 5, choose the week you left off on instead of Day 1. That resets the schedule so everything lines up correctly going forward.
FAQs
Can I change my start date without ending the program?
Not currently — you'll need to end the program first, then restart it with your new date.
Will I lose my progress if I restart?
No. Ending a program resets its schedule, but your workout history and overall progress stay intact.
Can I pick any start date?
Yes — any day works, including today or a future date.
Why did my program skip ahead or fall behind?
Most programs follow a set weekly schedule, so moving or missing workouts can throw off the weeks that follow. If your program gets out of sync, ending and restarting it with your actual current week resets things so your schedule stays accurate.
Just need a short break instead?
