Are there any disadvantages to replacing exercises?

You have exercises in your workout plan that you don't like or don't want to perform.

If you want to switch out an exercise, MyFitCoach will only suggest alternative exercises that target the same primary mover and generally have a very similar muscle engagement. This ensures that you won’t unintentionally skew your training volume for individual muscles, which could potentially sabotage your progress.

So, you won't be at a disadvantage if you replace out a few exercises.


However, if you change the tab from 'Alternative Exercises' to 'All Exercises' while switching out a particular exercise, you might deviate from your volume and the muscle group you initially aimed to target. Therefore, always make sure to primarily switch for alternatives.

If you have further questions or suggestions, please email us at support@myfitcoach.de.
