Routines & Programs

Routines and programs are the foundation of structured training in verxion.

Routines

A routine defines your weekly training split — which exercises on which days, with target sets, reps, and rest periods.

Creating a routine

Ask your AI to create a routine from scratch or import an existing one:

"Create a 4-day Upper Lower routine"
"Import this routine: Monday - Bench 4x8, Squat 4x6..."

verxion supports the create_routine and import_routine tools. Import is the fastest path — describe your full routine in natural language and verxion parses it automatically.

Workout days

Each routine contains workout days with exercises. You can:

• Add, remove, and reorder exercises
• Configure sets, reps, weight, RPE, and rest time per exercise
• Set up advanced set types (drop sets, supersets, etc.)
• Duplicate days to create variations

Activating a routine

Only one routine can be active at a time. Activate it to start logging sessions against it:

"Activate my PPL routine"

Programs

A program wraps multiple routine phases into a periodized training block. Use programs for:

• Linear periodization — progressive overload across weeks
• Block periodization — hypertrophy → strength → peaking
• Deload scheduling — planned recovery weeks

Creating a program

"Create a 12-week strength program with 3 phases"

Programs track your progress through each phase and can automatically advance when you complete a routine cycle.

Advanced set types

verxion supports every common set type — see advanced sets for the full guide:

Set Type	Description	Recipe
Drop set	Reduce weight each stage, no rest	log-a-drop-set
Superset	Two exercises back-to-back	log-a-superset
Giant set	Three or more exercises back-to-back	log-a-giant-set
Pyramid	Ascending/descending weight	log-a-pyramid-set
Rest-pause	Short rest within a set	rest-pause-set
AMRAP	As many reps as possible	log-an-amrap-set

Configure these per exercise in your routine, and verxion will guide you through them during sessions.
