StrengthLog is a free workout log app with instructions for 300+ strength training exercises. In this brief article, I will show you what it looks like and where you can find them.
Having to pause your workout to search on your phone for instructions on performing a specific exercise can be a frustrating interruption.
That is why, in our free workout app StrengthLog, we have included exercise demos and step-by-step instructions for almost every common exercise, just a tap away.
Let me show you how it looks.
Exercise Demos & Step-by-Step Instructions
Almost all of the 300+ exercises available in StrengthLog have video demos and step-by-step instructions.
In addition, every exercise has a muscle map showing you the muscles worked in each exercise.
This helps you create a well-rounded workout covering all your major muscle groups.
Or the ones you want to focus on, anyway. (hint: it’s the biceps)
Where to Find the Exercise Instructions in the Workout Log
You can find the exercise instructions in several different places in the workout log app.
The most straightforward way is probably to start a new workout, add your first exercise, and then tap the “?”-symbol next to the exercise name.
That brings up the exercise information page, on which you can see an exercise demo, how to perform the exercise with proper form, and the muscles worked.
Alternative ways to reach the exercise instructions are via the statistics page or when previewing a workout or training program.
Create Your Own Exercises
We are constantly adding to our list of exercises. But what if you can’t find the one you’re looking for?
Just add it yourself!
Specify which muscles you want it to work and whether it should include weight, reps, body weight, or something else.
The Exercise Instructions and Workout Tracking is Free – Forever
So, is everything in StrengthLog free?
Nope!
There is a premium subscription that gives you access to more workout routines, strength training programs, and more comprehensive statistics.
But 99% of the app is free.
Our idea is that the free version of our app should be the best workout log app in the world. And then our premium version should be even better.
Here’s what you get in the free version:
- No ads.
- Really, there are no ads in the app.
- Log unlimited workouts.
- Exercise demos, step-by-step instructions, and muscles worked for 300+ exercises.
- Basic statistics about your training (PRs, history, etc).
- Create and follow basic training programs and workouts.

Being able to show exercise instructions is one of many ways a workout log app can be superior to a paper journal.
