Read a Program's structure
A Program shows a reusable training template: its length, weekly commitment, workouts, and preparation guidance. Open one from Library > Programs to see how it fits your week before creating a dated training plan.
What each part tells you
Start with the summary
The overview describes the Program's aim. The summary shows weeks, days/week, and workouts, along with the intended experience level and included activities.
To compare Programs, open each one in turn and check the same facts: total length, weekly commitment, activities, and preparation guidance. Then look at the weeks to see how the workouts change.
Read Week by Week
Week by Week offers two views of the same schedule:
- Calendar arranges the planned workouts by week and weekday. Tap a week label to read that week's focus.
- List lets you expand a week to read its focus and workouts by day.
Open a day with a workout to see its details. If the day contains several workouts, choose one from the Workouts list. At accessibility text sizes, Calendar uses a list layout so the content has more room.
Look inside a workout
Program workout details keep a Program label so you can distinguish them from standalone workouts.
| Section | What you can read |
|---|---|
| Structure | Exercise names and set counts for strength; the goal or step layout for endurance. |
| Schedule > When | Where the workout occurs in the Program. |
| Goals by Week | The prescribed endurance goal summary for each occurrence of that workout series, rather than its scheduling-time estimate. |
Goals can show time, distance, energy, an open goal, or a structured summary such as Intervals. A workout without an endurance structure shows its listed duration instead.
Check Before You Start
Before You Start includes Prerequisites and Recovery guidance. Read these and the Program's safety notice before deciding to use it. They describe the template; they do not assess your personal readiness.
Open a loaded Program
Use Momentum on iPhone or iPad and choose a Program available in Library > Programs. You do not need to create a training plan to read its structure.
Keep the template separate from your training
The numbered weeks describe the Program, not dates in your personal calendar. Workout counts and durations are planned values, not completed results. Goals by Week summarizes prescribed goals, not every strength target or recorded performance.
Reading a Program does not add it to your schedule. Review Plan opens the review step before you create your own dated training plan. That plan stays separate from the reusable Program.
