How VYTL adapts
VYTL adjusts to what you actually do. Here is exactly what moves, what moves it, and what never does.
Food targets follow your training Free
Each day's calorie and macro targets start from the baseline set in setup, then move with the day you are having.
- Training day
- A planned workout raises today's targets.
- Rest day
- A planned rest day lowers them a little, within a cap.
- Active day
- When Apple Health shows extra active calories, targets rise to match. A quiet day never lowers them.
- A bad night
- Sleep, heart rate and how you feel never lower your targets.
Targets never drop below a minimum floor. And nothing carries over: go over on Tuesday, and Wednesday starts at full targets. There is no ledger to pay back. You can turn adaptation off and keep the same targets every day.
Sets start from your last ones Free
When you log an exercise, the weights start from what you lifted last time. In a VYTL plan, each set also has a target weight and rep range, set from your last working sets, how hard they felt, and that exercise's history.
A plan that waits for you Pro
- A plan is built from your goal, your schedule and your equipment.
- If you don't get to a session, it waits. In the evening you can move it to tomorrow or skip it this week.
- When a plan stops fitting, regenerate it. VYTL rebuilds a plan only when you ask.
- At the end of a cycle, VYTL reads back what the cycle recorded, and the next cycle is written from it.
Readiness reads your recovery Free
Your readiness score comes from sleep, heart rate variability and resting heart rate from Apple Health, your recent training, and your morning check-in. When a part has no data, it is left out rather than guessed. What readiness is built from.
VYTL Coach Pro
Ask VYTL Coach about training, food or recovery. Open it with the teal V at the top of Today. It reads your recent training and nutrition, and it keeps your conversation, so you don't have to start from the beginning each time.
VYTL Coach is not a doctor. For anything medical, talk to a clinician.
What VYTL won't do
VYTL doesn't promise outcomes, and it doesn't keep score against you. A missed day is information, not a failure. The plan keeps going, and so does the day's food, at full targets.
