Creating Routines

# Create routine from JSON (stdin)
echo '{"routine": {...}}' | hevy create-routine

# Create routine from file
hevy create-routine --file routine.json

# Create a routine folder
hevy create-folder "Push Pull Legs"

# Update existing routine
echo '{"routine": {...}}' | hevy update-routine <routine-id>

# Create custom exercise (checks for duplicates first!)
hevy create-exercise --title "My Exercise" --muscle chest --type weight_reps

# Force create even if duplicate exists
hevy create-exercise --title "My Exercise" --muscle chest --force

⚠️ Duplicate Prevention: create-exercise checks if an exercise with the same name already exists and will error if found. Use --force to create anyway (not recommended).

Usage Examples

User asks "What did I do at the gym?"

hevy workouts

User asks "Show me my last chest workout"

hevy workouts --limit 10  # Find relevant workout ID
hevy workout <id>         # Get details

User asks "How am I progressing on bench press?"

hevy exercises --search "bench press"  # Get exercise template ID
hevy history <exercise-id>              # View progression

User asks "What routines do I have?"

hevy routines
hevy routine <id>  # For details

User asks "Find leg exercises"

hevy exercises --muscle quadriceps
hevy exercises --muscle hamstrings
hevy exercises --muscle glutes

User asks "Create a push day routine"

# 1. Find exercise IDs
hevy exercises --search "bench press"
hevy exercises --search "shoulder press"
# 2. Create routine JSON with those IDs and pipe to create-routine

Notes

• Duplicate Prevention: create-exercise checks for existing exercises with the same name before creating. Use --force to override (not recommended).
• API Limitations: Hevy API does NOT support deleting or editing exercise templates - only creating. Delete exercises manually in the app.
• API Rate Limits: Be mindful when fetching all data (--all flag)
• Weights: Defaults to lbs, use --kg for kilograms
• Pagination: Most commands auto-paginate, but limit flags help reduce API calls
• IDs: Workout/routine/exercise IDs are UUIDs, shown in detailed views
