Planning and Entering a Workout Schedule (MySportTraining)
You can combine multiple features of MySportTraining to plan a schedule consisting of a variety of workouts. Say for instance you want to plan three workouts per week, each one with a specific focus:

Monday: upper body (chest, back, arms and shoulders)

Wednesday: lower body (legs)

Friday: stationary bicycle

Here’s how to proceed to plan such a workout schedule:

On Monday, add a workout and create a strength training activity called Upper Body. Make sure to specify Every Monday next to Occurs in the New Workout window. Then add the exercises as you execute them.
On Wednesday, add another workout and create another strength training activity, this time called Lower Body. Similarly, make sure to specify Every Wednesday next to Occurs in the New Workout window. Then, add the exercises as you execute them.
On Friday, add a bicycling workout, again specifying Every Friday next to Occurs in the New Workout window.
The following Monday, enter the Upper Body workout. All the exercises from the previous Upper Body workout will automatically be carried over, so that you do not have to re-enter them all again. You can then edit all exercises as you execute them. Also see Notes below.
On Wednesday, enter a Lower Body workout and again, all exercises from the previous Upper Body workout will be copied. Edit them as you execute them.
Finally, on Friday, enter the Bicycling workout. Intervals (if any), will be copied from the previous Bicycling workout.

The result is that you have three workouts planned on every week, and entering them automatically brings in the previous exercises, saving you the time and trouble of re-entering them. Since you can create as many activities as you need, you can easily enter (and plan) new workouts that have a different focus. Notes:

When editing a workout, if you choose not to execute a specific exercise, tap-and-hold on the exercise and choose Scratch. This will display a “scratch line” on it, only to remind you that you did not conduct that exercise. Since the exercise remains there, it will show up in the exercise list when you enter a new workout.
The option Tools > Options > Workouts > Use previous exercises/intervals when adding a workout, which is on by default, controls whether exercises are automatically copied when a new workout is added.
