Use a fitness program in Samsung Health on your Galaxy phone

You have gone through your whole workout repertoire and are looking for something new. Samsung Health has a variety of fitness programs to mix up your routine. There is stretching, weight loss, running, endurance training, and more. Unlike exercise trackers, workout programs give you a set schedule that you can follow. When you add or use programs, you will feel challenged again.

You can add fitness programs in the Samsung Health app to help you reach your exercise goals. There are a variety of programs to choose from, including running, stretching, strength training, and balance training.
