Login to Training Tilt and select Coaching > Library from the menu. We will first add some workouts to the workout library so we can then use them later when building a training plan. Building up a comprehensive library will make building plans fast and easy in the future. Alternatively you can skip this step and go straight to step 5 and start building some template plans as you can also publish workouts to the library as you add them to plans.

You will now see a list of existing workouts, Click the create button to create a new workout

Enter the details of the workout. Including a name, duration in minutes and other fields including the technical details of the workout. 

Before you save your workout, you have the option to upload an image for this.  Click on the green Upload Image button and select the image you want.

If you are happy with everything, be sure to Save.

You can also add some advanced instructions to the workout.

You can create and edit as many workouts as you want in the library. Once you have a library of workouts you can then start building your Training Plans

Select Coaching > Plan from the menu

You will then see a list of existing plans. Click the add button to add a new Training Plan

Give your new Training Plan a name and add a description, level and type.
