The right rest can change once the workout begins. If the next set arrives before you feel ready, or a long pause is breaking your rhythm, adjust the timer without leaving the workout.

Step 1: Find the rest row

Open Overview during the workout. In the exercise card, find the rest row shown between sets, such as Rest 1:00.

Step 2: Open the rest editor

Tap the rest duration. The editor shows quick presets and a time field for a custom duration.

Open and update the rest timer.
Use a preset or enter an exact rest duration.

Step 3: Choose the duration

Select a preset such as 1 min or 2 min, or enter the duration in the time field.

Enable Apply Forward only when you want the same rest duration applied to the later eligible sets shown in the workout.

Step 4: Save the change

Tap Done and check the rest row in Overview. The new duration should be visible before you continue.

Tap Done after choosing the rest duration.
Save the rest duration and return to Overview.
