Quick Workout Should Feel Like Training
Quick workout now feels closer to the main training flow, with running timers for duration sets and a dashboard card that matches regular workout entries.
Shipped
- Fixed duration-based sets so the active work timer actually runs after
Start Timer. - Standardized cardio and mind-body duration displays around elapsed work time, with target and remaining time kept as context.
- Kept interval-specific timer behavior separate from normal duration-set timing.
- Normalized the dashboard quick workout card with regular workout cards: same padding, same chevron treatment, same whole-card action pattern.
- Shortened the quick workout prompt to a clearer job: train now and log as you go.
Why
Quick workout should not feel like a shortcut bolted onto the side of the product.
It is for the sessions that still matter even when they were not planned in advance: a mobility session between calls, a conditioning block after lifting, a few accessory movements after the main work, or a quick strength session that needs to be logged before the details disappear.
For that to work, the quick workout path has to feel like training. Timed sets need a real running clock. The dashboard entry should sit beside scheduled workouts without looking like a different design system. The product should let someone start now and capture the work as it happens.
Notes
- This improves quick workout and routine timer behavior because both use the shared timer route.
- The primary duration display counts up elapsed work time after the timer starts.
- Target and remaining time stay visible as context instead of replacing the active timer.
Next
- Keep closing the gap between planned workout execution and quick workout logging.
- Continue making quick workouts useful for strength, cardio, mind-body, and mixed sessions without forcing a full routine setup first.
