Custom workouts for Garmin Watch

  1. Define your workouts in a .yaml file with the following format:

    workouts:
- name: LEG DAY
    steps:
    - name: Squats
        series: 4
        reps: 10
    - name: Deadlift
        series: 3
        reps: 8-10
        notes: last set AMRAP

    Check example.yaml for more examples.

  2. Run the script:

    python workout.py path/to/workout.yaml

  3. Connect your Garmin Watch through USB, and copy the generated .fit files to <garmin watch>/Internal Storage/GARMIN/NewFiles.

  4. Done. Workouts should show up.

Notes

I made this to fit my needs, so there's some hardcoded behavior that works for me but might not work for you:

  • The script creates strength workouts. This could be expanded easily.
  • There's a hardcoded 1m rest between sets, and 3m rest between exercises. This could be expanded easily.
  • Exercises are not recognized by the Garmin Connect app. Meaning you won't see the trained muscle groups or any other details. This could be supported, but not so easily.
