Use fitness programs in Samsung Health
You've 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's 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'll feel challenged again.
Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider, software version, or phone model.
Add a program
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.
Note: If it's your first time looking at programs, you may need to review a disclaimer before you're able to view the full list of available programs.
Navigate to and open the Samsung Health app, and then tap the Fitness tab to see the available programs.
Select a specific program that interests you to view its details. If you like the program, tap Add program, adjust your desired settings if needed, and then tap Done.
Once a program has been added, it will appear on the Samsung Health Home tab.
Use a program
Once you’ve added a program or two, it’s time to use them. Your added programs will be available on the Home tab in the Samsung Health app, so you can quickly view your workout progress.
On a phone
Navigate to and open the Samsung Health app, and then tap the Home tab.
Swipe to and tap the program you want.
Tap Download workout, and when it's done downloading, tap Start workout.
Note: Some programs do not require downloading, and you can just tap Start workout right away.
You’ll be able to rewind, pause, or fast forward the workout video.
The audio guide can be turned on and off by tapping the Audio guide icon on the screen when the workout video is playing. This is the middle icon in the upper right corner; it looks like a person talking.
To stop the program, tap Pause, and then tap Finish. If you need to go back to an interrupted program, just tap the program again, and then tap Make up workout.
If you prefer a larger screen, you can use Smart View to mirror your phone's screen to a compatible smart TV.
With a Galaxy watch
When you begin a fitness program on your phone, the program and other stats will appear on your connected Galaxy watch. You can refer to the information on your watch while the program is going on.
Once you tap Start workout on your phone, the fitness program will appear on the watch. You can tap Start on the watch or wait for the countdown to end.
Your watch will begin timing the program and recording your heart rate. Your heart rate will be displayed next to the heart icon.
Tap the fast forward icon to advance to the next program if available.
To pause the program, tap the Pause icon on your phone or press the Back button on your watch. On the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch5 series, you will need to swipe right to select Pause.
To resume the program, tap the Play icon on your phone or tap the Play icon on your watch (the green arrow in the top right corner). On the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch5 series, you will need to swipe right to select Play.
To complete the program, tap Finish on your phone or tap the X on your watch.
Note: On the Galaxy Watch5 series, you cannot end the program using your watch. You must tap Finish on your phone instead.
A summary screen will appear on your watch with your results, including the time and calories burned.
Note: If you navigate to another screen on your watch while the program is ongoing, you can tap the workout icon (it looks like a person) at the bottom of the watch’s Home screen to return to the program.
Restart a program
Note: Your previous workout data will be deleted from the program if you restart it.
Restarting a program will allow you to start the program from the beginning. You’ll also be able to change the program schedule if you need to tweak a day or two.
Navigate to and open the Samsung Health app, and then tap the Home tab.
Tap the program you wish to restart.
Tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap Restart program.
Adjust the workout's settings, such as the start date and schedule, and then tap Done.
The program with the new settings will be added to the Samsung Health home page, where you can access it anytime.
Drop a program
If you've finished a program, or you found a better one to suit your needs, you can remove the ones you aren't using.
Navigate to and open the Samsung Health app, and then tap the Home tab.
Swipe to and tap the program you want to remove.
Tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap Drop program. If you change your mind, you can always download it again later.
Use a program on your Samsung TV
If you’d like to follow along with a workout on a larger screen, you can use Samsung Health with your Samsung TV! For instance, you can mirror your phone's screen to your TV with Mirror view. This will let you watch the workout program and also yourself as you exercise, so you don’t miss anything.
