The first thing we want to do is get to our **Plan Page**. We can do that by typing in [btwb.com/plan/calendar](https://btwb.com/plan/calendar) or accessing it through the **Admin Portal**. Once there, select the date you want to program the workout for. For this example, I’ll choose **Thursday, March 27th**. Click on the number 27 to move to the **Day View**, which you can verify at the top of the page. Now, let’s start building the workout. On the **top left-hand side**, click the **blue Add button**. A drop-down menu appears—select **Workout**. This takes you to the **Build Page**. We have two options here: the **AI Workout Builder** or the **Classic Builder**. For the **AI Workout Builder**, type in or paste your workout details. Example: “For Time: 800m Run, 10 Front Squats (Pick Load), 20 Deadlifts (Pick Load), 30 Bar-Facing Burpees, 20 Deadlifts, 10 Front Squats, 800m Run.” Click **Continue**, and the AI will generate the workout automatically. Click **Plan Workout**, then verify the workout in the calendar by clicking the **X** to return to the **Day View**. For the **Classic Builder**, click **Add**, select **Workout**, and scroll past the AI Builder to **For Time**. Now, start adding movements. Example movements: * **Run** (1 Mile) * **Pull-Ups** (100 reps) * **Push-Ups** (200 reps) * **Air Squats** (300 reps) * **Run** (1 Mile) Adjust the settings for reps, weights, and heights where necessary. For example: * **Wall Ball** (20 lbs for men, 14 lbs for women, 10-foot target for men, 9-foot target for women) * Use **Pick Load** if you want athletes to select their own weight. If a movement repeats, use the **Copy** function to duplicate it quickly. Click **Plan Workout**, then verify the workout in the calendar by clicking the **X**. Now both AI-generated and manually built **For Time** workouts are saved. That's it! Your **For Time** workout is now successfully planned 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/for-time.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.
