Another option if you don't have the time to change the exercise is to use what you have. Like in my first week the bicep curls with bands came up but I didn't have any. I grabbed spagetti sauce cans and used those as weights while I did the exercise. I found out later that I could have change it to a curl with weights but sometimes I just don't bother even now. Oh, and now I can use real weights since they were my reward for keeping up on exercise for 2 weeks. lol.

G,

If you go to Add Strength Exercise and click the User Entered tab, you can put in your own exercises and swap them for ours. You could also just click the name of the exercise that you don't want, and it will suggest a list of replacements. A good start might be 2 lower body, 2 upper body and 2 core exercises.

ohh that sounds complicated. I've only been food tracking for 5 days and not even contemplated exercise yet! I will come back to this post now though in case I have the same problems when I set mine up. Good luck

I've been tracking my food for a little over a week now, and have decided to start adding in exercise this week. When I go through the steps for my goals, the exercises recommended include resistance bands, which I don't have. The resistance band box wasn't checked; I even went through it a second time. What's up with that? hehe Can I choose my own exercises instead? How many of each type (upper, lower, core) are recommended?
