Rotate through a training split with routine folders

There is no rotation setting to turn on. Every folder on the Routines screen runs in order, and each folder keeps its own place. Starting a routine from one folder never moves your place in another, so a gym split and a home split can sit side by side.

Routines that aren’t in a folder are not a rotation. For those, Today suggests the one you started most recently, or the one whose muscles have had the most rest once you have recent training logged.

Routines run in the order they joined the folder. A new routine goes to the end, and so does a routine you move in. Build the folder in the order you plan to train.

Your place moves when you start a saved routine, whether you start it from the Routines screen, the routine page, the plan or the coach. Finishing the workout adds nothing more. Discarding a workout doesn’t move you back, and an empty workout or an AI-generated session doesn’t move you at all.

If you start a routine out of order, the rotation continues from the one you started. Starting C when B was next makes D next. B is skipped, not saved for later. That is usually what you want after a schedule change, but it is worth knowing before you start a session out of turn.

Fitness Today shows a card called Next in your program. The suggested routine is numbered 1, followed by the rest of that folder’s cycle in order. Below it, Your other programs lists your other folders with how long it has been since you used each one. Starting a suggested routine is free and uses no credits.

When you have recent sets logged, the card orders your programs by how rested the muscles in each one’s next routine are. It sticks with the program you are currently running unless another is clearly better rested. A short line, such as “Quads, hamstrings and glutes are rested”, says why. That judgement comes from when you last trained each muscle and how much you did. It does not use soreness, heart rate or sleep data.

The Next in your program card follows the rotation, not your calendar. It still suggests the next routine on a day you meant to rest. If you are not training, use Not training today? on Today to mark a rest day. Moodwell never counts a rest day as a miss.

If you want a fixed weekday, such as legs every Tuesday, schedule it in Plan by choosing A routine, then Weekly under How often. On that date, the plan shows the routine you scheduled.

Say you keep a folder called PPL with Push, Pull and Legs in that order. You started Push on Monday and Pull on Wednesday, so on Friday Today suggests Legs. You decide you would rather train upper body, so you start Push from the Routines screen.

The rotation now continues from Push, so Pull is next and Legs waits a full cycle. If you would rather keep Legs at the front, start Legs on your next training day. Either way, Today reflects the last routine you started, so the card always matches what you actually did.
