One of the most powerful tools in the Moves app is your Exercise History. It automatically tracks the weights and reps you log for each movement, so you can easily see your progress over time.
This makes it simple to apply progressive overload (gradually increasing weight or reps), which is key for building strength and seeing real results. Think of it as your personal workout log — without the extra effort.
Why it matters:
Track your weights, reps, and overall progress
See what you did last time so you can keep building
Keep a record of any swaps or modifications you’ve used
Make smarter decisions about when to increase weight or adjust difficulty
Stay motivated by seeing how far you’ve come
Set realistic goals based on your actual progress
Build consistency with a clear record of your workouts
Here’s how to access and use this feature, whether before or during a workout.
Before a Workout
Planning in advance can save time and help you pick the right weights or modify exercises for your session.
Exercise Overview Screen:
On the workout overview page, tap the exercise you want to review.
Tap Exercise History under Actions.
Now you can see your past weights and reps and update your plan for the session.
💡Pro Tip: Add personal notes, like “felt easy last time” or “try dumbbells next round,” to guide your workout planning.
During a Workout
Shortcut:
The fastest way to access Exercise History in both views is via the shortcut that appears when you tap into a measurement field.

Adding Personal Notes
Once you’ve accessed your exercise history, you can add personal notes for extra context. These details help you fine-tune your workouts and track progress more effectively. Examples include:
What color resistance band you used
If you used dumbbells instead of a barbell (or vice versa)
How you were feeling that day
If you used a lighter weight during a warmup versus the heavier weight in the full workout
Adding notes helps you plan smarter sessions, adjust intensity, and see your progression over time—all without needing a separate notebook.
