They're perfect for benchmarking effort and scaling intensity for all levels. This guide walks you through how to build AMReps-style workouts in BTWB using two methods: * The **AI Workout Builder** * The **Manual (Classic) Builder** *** ### Create an AMReps Workout (AI Builder) Use the AI Builder for fast, structured workout creation from simple text input. #### Step-by-step 1. Navigate to your **Plan page** * Go to btwb.com/plan/calendar * Select your target date and enter **Day View** 2. Click the **blue “Add”** button (top-left) 3. Select **Workout** 4. In the AI Workout Builder input box, type your AMReps workout: ``` AMREPS: 15 minutes - 5 minutes row for calories - 5 minutes ecobike for calories - 5 minutes row for calories ``` 5. Click **Continue** 6. Review the workout → Click **Plan Workout** to add it to the calendar *** ### Create an AMReps Workout (Manual Builder) Use the Manual (Classic) Builder when you want full control over timing, movements, and flow. #### Step-by-step 1. From the Plan page, click **“Add” > “Workout”** 2. Scroll past the AI Builder → Choose **Multiple Movements > Reps** 3. Set the workout’s **total time** (e.g., 10 minutes) 4. Click **Add Movement** * Search and select **Burpee** * Assign **Time Only** (e.g., 2 minutes) * ✅ *Don’t assign reps for AMReps segments* 5. Click **Add Rest** → Default is 1 minute (editable) 6. Add next movement * e.g., **Row for Calories** for **6 minutes** 7. (Optional) Use **Copy** on the right to duplicate movements or rest blocks 8. Click **Plan Workout** to save *** ### Tips for Success > 💡 **Avoid assigning reps** in AMReps workouts unless capping a score. Leaving reps open ensures athletes can record their true max efforts. * **Label clearly** – Use “AMReps” in the workout title or notes * **Encourage tracking** – Athletes can compare reps per segment * **Scale-friendly** – Time-based efforts allow all levels to work at capacity * **Mix modalities** – Alternate between gymnastics, monostructural, and weightlifting *** ### 🎥 Video Walkthrough {% embed url="" %} Video Walkthrough Of How To Plan An AMReps Workout {% endembed %} *** #### Transcription In this video, I'll show how to create an AMReps-style workout in BTWB. A popular example is from the 2012 Open — 7 minutes of burpees. As many reps as possible in 7 minutes. First, go to the Plan page. You can either type `btwb.com/plan/calendar` into your URL bar or navigate to it through the BTWB dashboard. Next, select the date you want to plan your workout for. For this example, I’ll use Tuesday, April 1st, 2025. Click on the date number to enter Day View. From here, click the blue **“Add”** button on the top left, then choose **“Workout”**. You’ll land on the workout builder page. **Using the AI Workout Builder** You can either type or paste your workout in the AI input box. For example: > AMREPS: 15 minutes\ > 5 minutes row calories\ > 5 minutes echobike calories\ > 5 minutes row calories Click **“Continue”**, and the AI will build the workout for you. Once satisfied, hit **“Plan Workout”** and it’ll be added to your calendar. **Using the Manual (Classic) Builder** To build manually, click **“Workout”** again, scroll past the AI section, and choose **“Multiple Movements > Reps”**. Start with your workout duration — for example, 10 minutes. Click **“Add Movement”** and search for “burpee.” Assign a time (e.g., 2 minutes) but **don’t assign reps** — that limits scoring. Add a 1-minute rest by clicking **“Add Rest”**, then add your next movement, like “row for calories” for 6 minutes. Add another 1-minute rest. If needed, you can use the **“Copy”** function to duplicate movements or rests. Finally, click **“Plan Workout”** to save. Now you’ve created your AMReps workout using both AI and Manual methods in BTWB. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://btwb.gitbook.io/btwb/planning-workouts/workout-types/amreps.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
