Build a fitness plan with weekly targets

Plan the week's workouts across strength, cardio and mobility, with labels for where you train and how long it takes.

A fitness plan fails when it is vague. “Exercise more” does not tell you what to do on Wednesday. A list of workouts with days and times does.

This guide uses one project with three sections, and the labels Home, Gym and 30 min to match your plan to your day.

Step 1

Create the project and three sections

Make a project called Fitness with sections Strength, Cardio and Mobility. Together they give a balanced week.

Step 2

Plan the week on Sunday

Give each workout a day and, if you like, a time. Three or four sessions a week, with one easier day after each hard one, is a good target for most people.

Tip. Jinnoro does not repeat tasks. Planning the next week on Sunday takes a few minutes and counts as a small ritual.

Step 3

Label where and how long

Use Home and Gym for the place, and 30 min for the short ones. On a day when you only have half an hour, open that label and pick one.

Step 4

Start the day on Today

Today shows the workout planned for the day, next to everything else. If you skip it, drag it to tomorrow instead of deleting it.

Step 5

Add new sessions as you plan them

A friend asks you to swim on Saturday: press Q and add it.

After a month, look at which workouts you checked off. It tells you what fits into your life. For a similar routine with food, see planning meals and groceries.
