NEW IN 3.13
- Resistance bands are first-class now. Add the bands you own in Settings → Equipment → Bands, order them lightest to heaviest, then pick one while you log — the picker appears on any exercise whose equipment includes Resistance Band, including your own. Gym Log+ compares band sets by where the band sits in YOUR list, because a band has no weight: it pulls harder the further you stretch it, and the colours mean different things from one brand to the next. If a band makes a movement easier instead of harder — one under your knees for pull-ups — say so and it counts that way round. Banded sets earn records like any other, and bands are on the watch too, with last session's band already set
- A hold timer for stretches and planks. On any timed exercise, tap the timer beside the duration field to count down your hold — 30 seconds by default, hold the button to pick another length. The bell rings when it ends and the duration fills in, ready to log; it never logs for you. It works with the screen locked, and with your watch on your wrist the two count the same hold — start or cancel on either and the other follows. Routines can prescribe one, so a stretch carries "3 × 0:30" the way a lift carries sets and reps
- 121 new exercises, in three new groups. 62 stretches — hamstring, quad, hip, glute, calf, chest, shoulder, back and neck — each with step-by-step instructions. 32 conditioning drills: Mountain Climbers, High Knees, Bear Crawl and the interval work. And 27 yoga poses, Pigeon among them. Static stretches log as timed holds, dynamic drills log reps, and you can build a routine from any of them like any other exercise. On iPhone and Apple Watch
- A stretching session lands in Apple Health as stretching. A workout made entirely of stretches saves as Flexibility — or Yoga, when it is all yoga — instead of Traditional Strength Training, on both iPhone and watch. Mix in any lifting and it stays a strength workout
- Your own exercises can say what equipment they use, so a custom movement picks up the band picker, the right filters and the right defaults
FIXED
- Your watch complication keeps up on its own — change your program or finish a workout on your iPhone and the face follows, without opening the watch app first
- Building a routine no longer kicks you back to the top of the list after every exercise you add
- Pull-ups are bodyweight and cables are cables. The pull-up family and the cable machines were filed under the wrong equipment, so they turned up under the wrong filters and asked for the wrong things
- Rest timers ring on screen too. A rest that ended while you were still looking at the app could pass with only a buzz
