One of the standout features of the Moves App is the ability to view your exercise history. This trainer-recommended tool helps you track progress over time and supports progressive overload, which is essential for making consistent gains.
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:

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.
