Gym 5x

Hey y’all,

Loving beeminder and my new favourite mode of procrastination is looking up creative ways to create goals on beeminder XD

Rn, I’m using the focusmate integration and loving it. I consistently get 5 hours of work done everyday thanks to it.

I wanna add gymming 5x a week as a goal, but can I choose when I want to take my rest days? For example, if after a heavy leg day, I’d like to take the next day as a rest day but if I don’t have enough buffer built on beeminder, i end up derailing.

Also, can someone pls explain how fractions work. If i enter 5/7 as my goal, what happens?

Is it something like since i log +1 for each workout after a few workouts, that number is greater than the 0.7 workouts i need to do everyday?

Thanks beeminder fam!

Exactly! So after a few of days, you’ll have an additional day of buffer that you can then use to skip a day like you described. You can also start with some buffer in the beginning, so you have this flexibility immediately, but then it is your responsibility to plan ahead not to use up this buffer without necessity and not to end up needing two or three days in a row when you would need to take a break between them.

Depending on how you schedule your workouts, you could have a higher rate and then schedule your breaks in advance. But you’d need to have your workouts planned at least a week ahead since you can only schedule breaks starting at least a week out.
