What's New on DAREBEE - the Monday edition, because Sunday got away from us
Workouts
Four new ones this week, all with video: Buffering (strength, full body, level 4), Not a Drill (metcon, full body, level 3), Core Compass (strength, abs, level 3) and Hip Pockets (strength, lower body, level 3).
Training plans, rebuilt
The big one. Every training plan now runs on the same data behind the scenes and every plan page has been rebuilt from the ground up: one clean column, the week table right at the top where you use it every day, the plan facts (level, days, equipment, length, goal) in their own cells and the tools underneath. The plans filter got new cards with a week strip (filled = training day, grey = walk or active day, hollow = rest), filters for length, indoor-only and your level, search inside plans and side-by-side comparison of two or three plans. Any plan can be copied into one of your custom plan slots and tweaked to taste. Speaking of which...
Custom plans are out of testing
Three My Plan slots live in Training Plans now. Each day can hold a filter, a workout, a collection or plain text. Thank you to everyone who kicked the tires.
Add to Deck on the Exercise of the Day
You asked to bookmark the daily exercise. We went one better. Every Exercise of the Day page now has an Add to Deck button. One tap and that day's exercise with its reps becomes a card in My Deck on your bookmarks page so you can do it again any day you like. The Done button on the card logs it to your dashboard like any other exercise. Tap Add to Deck again and the card goes back out. Holds save as seconds and "8+" saves as 8 - anything past that is a bonus.
Saved filters
Another one from your requests. Each of the six filters can now save up to six filter combinations. Apply or remove them from the sidebar. They travel in your dashboard backup and across devices with sync and you can use them when building a custom plan.
Filters, tuned
All six filters share one engine now. That fixed a few broken links, added a PREV button, brought back your place when you hit the back button and taught search to handle more than one word at a time. The NEW label stays on for 24 hours and then leaves quietly.
Dashboard
Program and challenge cards have an Edit days link so you can log a day you forgot on the date you actually did it or fix a wrong one. Unticking a day asks first now. Spellbound spell charges count as workouts in your activity and each charge can be edited or removed.
A new look for the text
Body text across the site is now Roboto at the same size on every screen and the description boxes on workout, program and challenge pages are wider. Easier on the eyes, we think. Tell us if yours disagree.
The quiz
We took the quiz apart, checked every step on every browser and phone we could get our hands on and put it back together. Same questions, steadier results.
Collections
Four new wellbeing collections: High Blood Pressure, Diabetes & Blood Sugar, Arthritis & Stiff Joints and Breathing Workouts.
Guides
Eighteen. We may have overdone it.
Training basics: Workout Formats, Explained, Workout Splits, Explained, Cardio vs Strength Training, Explained, Effort and RPE, Explained, Calisthenics, Explained, Functional Fitness, Explained, How to Squat Correctly, How to Increase Your Stamina and How to Get Toned Without Bulking Up.

If anything in here looks odd on your device the bug report button is right where it always is and we read every single one. Back to Sundays next week. Probably. Hopefully. Maybe-ly?
