The daily decision
What workout should I do today?
The honest answer is that it depends on four things: what you trained in the last few days, how much time you have today, what equipment is within reach, and what you are training for. FitBoost holds all four and answers the question for you, every morning, before you open the app.

This is a sample of the kind of session FitBoost builds, drawn from a sample of the app’s exercise library. The app plans your whole week from the full catalogue, remembers what you complete and changes the next session accordingly, this page cannot, because it does not know you yet.
Today you should train whatever your last few sessions did not, in the time you actually have. Answer the five questions above and you will have today’s session in about thirty seconds.
Why the question is hard every single day
It is not that the answer is complicated. It is that it changes daily, and getting it right means remembering what you did on Monday, noticing that your legs are still sore, knowing you only have twenty-five minutes tonight, and keeping some kind of progression in mind across weeks.
Most people cannot hold all of that, so they do one of two things: the same session forever, or nothing. Both are ways of losing to a decision rather than to the training.
How to answer it yourself
If you want to decide without an app, this is the short version of what a coach is doing in their head:
- Train what you did not train recently, a muscle group worked hard needs about two days
- Match the session to the time you really have, not the time you wish you had
- Keep one hard day away from the next hard day
- Add a little to what you did last week, not a lot
- When you feel wrecked, go easy rather than skipping, an easy session keeps the habit
Or let the app hold it
FitBoost keeps that record for you. It knows what you completed, what you skipped, what you said was too hard, and how many days you have said you can train. Each day it builds one session from that, with a warm-up, the exercises, the rest between them and a cool-down.
You open it and start. There is no list to browse and nothing to choose from, which is the entire point.
And when the answer is “not that”
You can tell it you would rather run today, or that you want strength instead, and it will swap the session if that still fits the week. If it does not fit: it says so rather than quietly giving you two hard days in a row.
Questions
What workout should I do today if I am sore?+
Train something else. Soreness in one muscle group is a reason to work another, not a reason to skip. FitBoost moves the session to what is recovered, or gives you an easier one.
What if I only have 20 minutes?+
Tell it how long you have and the session is built for that length, rather than a longer one you abandon halfway.
Should I train every day?+
Not usually. You tell FitBoost how many days a week you can train, and it plans rest days as part of the week rather than treating them as failures.
