"No jumping" option in program generation

complete

Louis Deveseleer

There are multiple reasons why someone would want zero jumping/plyo exercises in their generated workouts:

Knee / foot injury.
Uncomfortable jumping in a gym setting.
Too much effort, need to take it slow.
Neighbours downstairs.

Feature available now in v4.28: in the program Exclusions, select the "Jumping" cardio objective.

We're working on adding an "Exclusions" section to the Generation parameters:

Elon

Agreed, others may want some plyo days. If they can say "no", maybe they can say most "also"

Louis Deveseleer

Elon Do you mean to force the program generation to include jumping exercises?

Elon

Louis Deveseleer Well, if you're categorizing jumping exercises why stop at just blocking them. Some people might want to do explosive jump training days. Others might want to have their warmups include explosive jumps. So yes, having an option to force inclusion or exclusion are both useful

Elon To have more of those exercises in a generated workout, we can already select the objective "Lower body cardio".
