Just finished my first week and I have many questions and no one to ask. I would be very thankful if someone could help me! sorry in advance if the questions have been asked before I have not found answers yet.
Some exercises are specified to be left/right side. When doing exercises that are not specified to be one-sided is a single repetition doing it once for each side? (e.g. have i completed 1 climber when one or both feet have been up at my hands?)
Does the algorithm consider when I work out outside of its plan? Does it account those further workouts when calibrating my trainingsplan for the next week? (e.g. I went for a 8 km run on my day off, and tracked it through the app. 2 days later my daily workout was a 1,5 km run, which seems incredibly short considering the App ought to know the other one)
How often does the algorithm recalibrate to my level of fitness? Does it take every input into account (e.g. every time I give it feedback after a workout) or does it work on a specific timeline, such as weekly? So far it does not seems to be very adaptive and I am wondering whether I should expect a significant change from week one to week two after a long expected adaption.
Is it possible to log exercises outside the App for the algorithm to consider? (e.g. “I did an hour of Yoga today, please consider this in your estimation of my fitness level”)
I dont understand the feature on learning new skills. I have tracked exercises such as push ups in the app. Some have even been part of my daily, AI administered, trainingsplan. When looking into the rider on perfected skills they appear as never been done before? (kinda related to question 3… can I expect the App to recalibrate and log it retroactively?) If not, why does it show up as never been done before?
The maximum amount of training-days seems to be limited to 5 a week. Why? Is this only because I just started and the App does not want to overwhelm me? Could it be possible to set it to 7 days a week? (and e.g. tell the coach to simply to some easy runs twice a week for recovery?)
Sorry for the flood of questions and thank you in advance for your help!
PS: Please excuse any mistakes I may have made in spelling and/or grammar, English is not my first language.
A big welcome to the community I’ll try to answer each of your questions
The exercise instructions will break this down, usually specifying that “One side counts as one repetition”. The below will show this for your example of Climbers.
In general, all training completed in the app outside of Coach assigned sessions is taken in to account by the Coach when assigning training. However, it won’t do this for runs.
After every workout. You’ll often notice this, seeing your future sessions change after you’ve completed and saved a session.
Although a recent update allows you to sync external training activities in to the Freeletics app, this currently is not considered by the Coach.
Skill workouts are purely dedicated workouts allowing you to focus on your technique for certain skills. Even professional athletes spend hours focusing on their technique. So yes, the Coach will cycle through skills even if you have completed them previously.
We think rest days are important, so we encourage them. This doesn’t stop you from training if you wish, you can train on any non-workout day by simply selecting any of the upcoming workouts, even swiping to the next week if necessary. And we think that active recovery on rest days is a great way to stay active whilst giving your body some time to recover from what can be quite challenging HIIT.
Hope these answers help-your English definitely gets an A+
Thank you so much! Yes that answers all my questions.
I was getting annoyed not beeing able to ask Freeletics directly and here you come convincing me that in fact this forum is all I need (and rekindling my faith in humanity).
I never even realized that they gave written descriptions at the bottom of the videos.
Today I will be finishing my second perfect week thanks for all the help!
