Strength training workflow (LLM-assisted exercise matching)
When a user wants to log a strength training activity with exercises described in free text (e.g. "Bench Press 3x12@20kg, Lat Pulldowns 3x12@41kg"), follow this workflow:
1. Fetch the Garmin exercise catalog: `gccli exercises list --json`
2. Map each user-described exercise to the best matching Garmin CATEGORY/EXERCISE_NAME pair. The catalog uses SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE (e.g. BENCH_PRESS/BARBELL_BENCH_PRESS, PULL_UP/WIDE_GRIP_LAT_PULLDOWN, LATERAL_RAISE/DUMBBELL_LATERAL_RAISE, LUNGE/DUMBBELL_LUNGE, CALF_RAISE/STANDING_BARBELL_CALF_RAISE). Use your best judgement to find the closest match.
3. Show the user the proposed mapping and ask for confirmation before proceeding.
4. Create the activity: `gccli activity create --name "Upper Body" --type strength_training --duration 34m --date 2024-06-15T19:01:00`
5. Extract the activity ID from the output (JSON: activityId field, table: "Created activity <id>").
6. Add exercise sets: `gccli activity exercise-sets set <id> -e "CATEGORY/NAME:reps@weightkg[:dSECS][:rSECS]" [-e ...]`
Exercise set format: `CATEGORY/NAME:reps@weightkg[:dSECS][:rSECS]`
- CATEGORY: exercise category (e.g. BENCH_PRESS, PULL_UP, LATERAL_RAISE, LUNGE, CALF_RAISE)
- NAME: specific exercise name within category (e.g. BARBELL_BENCH_PRESS, WIDE_GRIP_LAT_PULLDOWN)
- reps: number of repetitions
- weightkg: weight in kg (e.g. 20 for 20kg, 41.5 for 41.5kg, 0 for bodyweight)
- :dSECS: optional set duration in seconds (e.g. :d30 for 30s)
- :rSECS: optional rest duration in seconds after this set (e.g. :r60 for 60s)
Each -e flag is one set. For 3 sets of 12 reps, use three -e flags with the same exercise.
Example full workflow:
```
gccli activity create --name "Upper Body" --type strength_training --duration 34m --date 2026-03-13T19:01:00 --json
# Extract activityId from JSON response
gccli activity exercise-sets set <id> \
-e "PULL_UP/WIDE_GRIP_LAT_PULLDOWN:12@41:d30:r60" \
-e "PULL_UP/WIDE_GRIP_LAT_PULLDOWN:12@41:d30:r60" \
-e "PULL_UP/WIDE_GRIP_LAT_PULLDOWN:12@41:d30:r90" \
-e "LATERAL_RAISE/DUMBBELL_LATERAL_RAISE:12@8:d25:r60" \
-e "LATERAL_RAISE/DUMBBELL_LATERAL_RAISE:12@8:d25:r60" \
-e "LATERAL_RAISE/DUMBBELL_LATERAL_RAISE:12@8:d25:r90" \
-e "BENCH_PRESS/BARBELL_BENCH_PRESS:12@20:d30:r60" \
-e "BENCH_PRESS/BARBELL_BENCH_PRESS:8@20:d35:r60" \
-e "BENCH_PRESS/BARBELL_BENCH_PRESS:5@20:d40"
```
Notes
- Set `GCCLI_ACCOUNT=you@example.com` to avoid repeating `--account`.
- For scripting, use `--json` for JSON output or `--plain` for TSV.
- Dates support `today`, `yesterday`, `3d`, or `YYYY-MM-DD`.
- Tokens are stored securely in the OS keyring (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service, file fallback).
- Tokens auto-refresh on 401; automatic retry on 429/5xx with exponential backoff.
- For Garmin China accounts: `export GCCLI_DOMAIN=garmin.cn`.
- Confirm before deleting activities/workouts (or use `--force`).
- Download formats: FIT (default), GPX, TCX, KML, CSV.
- Workout step format: `type:duration[@target:low-high]` — types: warmup, run, recovery, cooldown; targets: pace (min:sec), hr (bpm), power (watts), cadence.
