Building · Exercising Regularly
A habit tracker for actually exercising, not for logging workouts
You don't need another app to record that you benched 60kg for five. You need something that knows you have missed every Thursday since March, that your consistency falls off a cliff in weeks you travel, and that the sessions you actually complete are the ones you booked before 9am. That's a habit problem, and workout loggers don't solve habit problems.
Why exercising regularly is hard to track
Not hard to do — that's a separate problem. These are the reasons the tracking itself tends to give out first, which is usually what takes the habit with it.
- Workout apps track the session and ignore the far harder question of turning up
- One missed week turns into three because nothing notices at week one
- Rest days and skipped days look identical in a streak counter
- The reasons you skip are boringly consistent and nobody ever writes them down
Worth tracking
- Sessions per week against a target, not consecutive days
- What kind of session, and how long
- The days and weeks you miss, and what was different about them
- How you felt afterwards, in one word
Cadence
Logged after the session, reviewed against a weekly target
What progress looks like
Four weeks hitting the weekly count, and the first missed week you recovered from within seven days
In practice
Log it in the sentence you'd have said anyway
Every operation in the app is a tool the chat can call, so exercising regularly gets recorded — with its context — in the time it takes to think it.
Called 4 tools
log_check_in(habit: "exercise", type: "run", distance_km: 5, felt: "good")get_target(habit: "exercise", period: "week")get_streak(habit: "exercise", mode: "weekly_target")find_pattern(metric: "completion", group_by: "time_of_day")
Every figure here was counted from your check-ins. The model picked the tools and filled in the arguments — it never estimates a streak or invents a number.
And then ask
The question your history can answer
Weeks of check-ins about exercising regularly contain a genuine answer to questions you've been guessing at. The only thing that was ever missing was something willing to read them.
Ask in plain language; the model turns it into queries against your record and shows the numbers behind the answer, so you can tell a real pattern from a coincidence in eleven data points.
Called 3 tools
get_history(habit: "daily-exercise", window: "6m")find_pattern(group_by: "context")compare_periods(metric: "completion")
Every figure is a count or an average over your own check-ins. The model chose which comparisons to run; it produced none of the numbers.
What it does
Set up around exercising regularly
The same mechanics as every other habit, pointed at what actually matters for this one.
Targets per week, not per day
Three a week is a real goal and a daily checkbox can't hold it. Rest days get recorded as rest rather than counted as failures.
Streaks that survive a life
A missed day is a missed day. The streak that matters is the pattern over months, and one interruption shouldn't erase the evidence of it.
Partial credit
Ten minutes still counts, and gets logged as ten minutes. Half-measures are how most habits actually survive a bad week.
What predicts the days you show up
What kind of session, and how long — captured alongside the tick, because that's where the explanation for a good month usually turns out to be.
Measured against your other habits
Ask whether this one is propping up another, or being crowded out by it. Cross-habit questions on request.
Caught at day three
A gap is recoverable early and much less so at three weeks. One nudge when it's still the former.
