Currently, exercises with duration targets have to be set between 5 minutes and 12 hours. The lower limit of 5 minutes does not work for interval training. When trying to create routines for the different types of interval training I do, I cannot use duration as a target because 5 minutes is too long for interval training. Common intervals used by most people range from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.
I have just discovered that I can create my own workout routine for training up to 5km running and the fact that you can't put in a duration of less than 5 minutes is pathetic. It's complete unusable for new runners. Samsung have let themselves down with what would be a very simple fix
What is going on samsung? I just learned this is not just my phone but across all your health products which makes them 100% uselss fot the most popular form of exercise, HIIT training, next time maybe have someone who has some experience in fitness help design the app, because it's extremely obvious you just had someone throw it together with numbers they found in a quick google search. And to make 5 minutes the minimum length for an exercise, you know what type of people make those types of mistakes? people who do not exercise. Please fix, it's 2025 this has been an issue for years now from my research, I as gonna go all in on saamsung health products thank god I found this out before I did.
