# Building workouts

### Building workouts

### Overview

The Workout builder on Pod1um is a versatile tool designed to assist coaches and athletes in creating comprehensive and effective workouts. Whether you are building a workout from scratch or modifying an existing one, the Pod1um Workout Builder streamlines the process, making it both intuitive and efficient.

### Step-by-step guide

### Starting your workout

1. **Access the workout builder**: From a training plan, an athlete's calendar, or the exercise routine builder, click on the option to add a workout.
2. **Workout title**: Select a title for your workout. You can choose from suggested titles or create a custom one.

### Adding sections

1. **Create sections**: Each workout is divided into sections, like warm-ups, plyometrics, etc. Click on 'Add Section' or 'Create New Section'.
2. **Section titles and filters**: Choose a title for each section. Selecting a pre-defined title (e.g., 'Strength & Power') will automatically apply relevant filters, such as exercise type and equipment. Alternatively, you can create a custom section title.

### Adding exercises

1. **Import or add exercises**: You can add exercises to each section either by manually selecting them from the exercise library or by importing them from previously created workouts in a Training Plan, Routine, or an Athlete’s Calendar.
2. **Multiple sections**: If you need to import multiple sections, use the 'Import Sections' feature.

### Customising your workout

1. **Edit exercises**: Once your exercises are added, you can further customise each one. This includes editing details, adding notes, suggesting alternate options, or modifying metrics.

### Finalising the workout

1. **Review and save**: After completing your workout design, review it to ensure it meets your training goals. Once satisfied, save the workout to your library or assign it to an athlete's calendar.

### Tips for effective workout building

- **Balanced structure**: Ensure your workout includes a balanced structure, covering all necessary aspects like warm-ups, main exercises, and cool-downs.
- **Athlete-specific adjustments**: Tailor workouts to suit the specific needs and goals of your athletes.
- **Variety and progression**: Regularly update and vary the workouts to keep them challenging and effective.
- **Clarity in instructions**: Provide clear instructions and notes for each exercise to ensure correct execution.
