Volume Goals in a Workout App
Volume goals are for accumulation: total reps or total time across a rolling period. They work well when you want gradual progress without turning training into a spreadsheet.
Plan your own training in Re:Do Workouts.
Create the workout in your own words, run it step by step with timers and notes, schedule it when it fits, and log what actually happened.
What volume goals are good for
- Building steady weekly work (pulling volume, accessories, conditioning minutes)
- Protecting balance (don't accidentally drop an important category)
- Staying honest when intensity varies week to week
Keep it practical
Volume goals should be simple: one target, one category, one rolling window. You can increase the target later. The goal should make the next training decision easier, not heavier.
Logs matter more than dashboards
A volume goal only works if the log is clean. Re:Do supports both a training history view and a gym-style log editor for set-by-set entry when you want precision.
How to use this page in Re:Do
Treat Volume Goals in a Workout App as a focused setup guide, not a separate system to maintain. Use it when progress depends on seeing the pattern: define the target, keep sessions easy to log, and adjust only after the trend is visible.
The useful version is usually small at first: one workout, one schedule or timer rule if needed, and enough notes to make the next session obvious. After a few logged sessions, refine the plan clearly from what you actually did instead of guessing up front.
FAQ
Should I track reps or time?
Track what matters for the category: reps for strength/accessories, time for conditioning or timed drills.
Can volume goals create pressure?
Yes, if you set them too high. Start small and let the goal support rhythm rather than compete with it.
