Now Live: Exclude and Include Specific Exercises In Your Workouts

At ichini!, we swear by randomness in workouts. It’s exciting not to know which exercises are on today! However, while our algorithm only selects exercises that bring you closer to your goals and match your current fitness level to begin with, we all have those exercises that—for whatever reason—feel much more fun than others, and on the contrary those, that simply feel wrong. So if you wanna make sure to never encounter those (or explicitly encounter your favorites 😊), we have just added features that will help you do that.

Note, that all the changes mentioned here are live now! Feel free to try them out and if there’s anything you would change, we’d love to hear about it!

Disliking Or Favoriting An Exercise During The Workout

You’ll now find the dislike/favorite-exercise-button right inside the workout player. Clicking it allows you to choose between disliking or favoriting the current exercise. Disliking it will ensure you’ll never encounter this exercise again in any of your future workouts. Favoriting it, on the other hand, will simply make it easier to find it later, when choosing exercises you definitely want to do in your next workout (continue reading to find out how).

Note, that currently you’ll still have to choose yourself whether you want to skip the disliked exercise or do it anyway this one last time. Going forward, though, we’ll be providing the option to replace it with an exercise that suits you better right away.

Including Exercises In Your Workout

We added two new sections to the workout challenge settings: Included Exercises and Disliked Exercises. If you’re feeling like a specific exercise today, simply find the former and select your exercise in the search field to ensure it is included in your workout.

Managing Disliked Exercises

In the Disliked Exercises section, you’ll find all exercises you have disliked during your workouts. Neither of the exercises listed here will appear in your future workouts. You can dislike additional exercises here by selecting them in the search field or, if you decide to give an exercise a second chance after all, remove the dislike.

Next Up

Now we’re off to work on replacing disliked exercises instantly during the workout and our encore feature, where users are offered to prolongue their workout with just one more exercise. We’re pretty excited about that one so make sure to subscribe to our newsletter if you wanna know when it’s released!
