How do I lock screen during workout?
If you happen to accidentally pause the workout or skip an excercise during a workout, turn "Lock Buttons" to ON in the Settings tab. When "Lock Buttons" is turned to ON, buttons that can interrupt your workout will appear with a little lock next to them.
The locks indicate that a double tap is required to activate the button. Double tap prevents accidental button activation during your workout. If you are working out and holding the iPhone / iPod touch in your hand, a single tap could easily be triggered by accident, causing you to pause the workout or skip the exercise on accident. We wanted to prevent this from happening by requiring a double tap for the buttons that interrupt the workout.
