Frequently asked questions about Freeletics
What counts as one repetition in Freeletics exercises?
Repetitions are the total for left and right sides combined. For example, 20 Lunges means completing 10 on the left leg and 10 on the right leg.
Should I follow Coach days in the order given?
The Coach days and weeks are designed to best keep you on track to your individual goals considering your capabilities and restrictions. Following the Coach as closely as possible gives you more from your Freeletics experience, but you can change the order if another session better fits your daily routine.
If I start the same Training Journey again, is it exactly the same?
No. The Coach learns from every training session regardless of your Journey. Even if you start the same Journey again, you won't go back to square one. The Coach has learned what you're capable of and takes this into account, so you're always progressing and start exactly where you left off.
What is the difference between Strict Pullups and Pullups?
Strict Pullups begin from a totally dead hang with no movement, while Pullups allow small kipping or movement that temporarily reduces weight and engages more muscles. Strict Pullups target fewer muscles but activate them heavily, making them more targeted towards hypertrophy (muscle growth).
How do I choose rest days?
Recovery is individual - some people recover faster from tough sessions than others. To improve recovery, consider sleep, nutrition, stress, and stretching. Generally, the body needs 24-48 hours to recover from a tough workout, but your recovery approach can shorten or extend this. You need to judge rest days for yourself.
Can I skip rests in my Intervals if I don't feel like pausing?
No, rests are there for a reason. You only experience HIIT benefits if you stick to breaks because pauses let you go at maximum pace during working time and train anaerobically. If you don't need breaks, it could mean you need to push harder or that your fitness is improving.
Why do I need to lift hands off the floor during Pushups?
Lifting hands ensures every repetition is equal with the same range of motion, making form more consistent so you get more from the exercise. It's also more difficult, ensuring you go through full range of motion with targeted muscles for better muscle strength and growth stimulus.
How can I exclude certain exercises from my workouts?
When setting up training weekly, you'll be asked about limitations referring to sore muscles. You can't specify specific exercises to exclude, only muscle groups. For example, indicating you want to rest your chest means the Coach excludes exercises putting pressure on that area. You can add or remove limitations weekly. Use this only for muscle soreness, not injuries - seek medical advice for strains.
What is the Freeletics Situp and why does it work best?
The Freeletics Situp is a kipping version utilizing arm movement for momentum to perform more reps. The lower body holds legs in 'butterfly' position rather than lined with hips, creating more space for full range of motion and relying less on hip flexors, which helps lower back health.
Is it important the Coach considers my progress when recommending journeys?
Yes, the Coach continuously learns from every training session you do. It remembers your capabilities and progress, so even repeating a Journey means you progress from where you left off rather than starting at square one. The Coach allocates sessions based on what it has learned about your capabilities.
