Which FontAwesome5 icons would you use here?

I am currently designing the navbar of a workout tracking app written using React Native. The navbar has three buttons:

  • Splits/Plans

  • Workout days

  • Excercises

For the excercises, I use a dumbbell icon, but I haven’t gotten any inspiration for the other two, as I think it’s difficult to find something that’s not too generic (like a list icon). Do you guys have ideas you could help me out with?

As the project is still in an early phase of development, I would also be willing to switch to an other icon package than FontAwesome5.

Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

I really like the Phosphor icons. They have a clean, modern look, a great variety, and they’re free and open source. Here are my suggestions for the icons that could work well for each section:

  • Splits/Plans: map-trifold (or other bullseye/target/map/route icon)
  • Workout Days: calendar (or other calendar icon)
  • Exercises: barbell (pretty self explanatory)

It’s not super original, but it’s easy to get.

Thank you for the suggestion. I was looking for something similar too.

More importantly, if you’re not planning to label every icon, at least add a clear heading or a tooltip that appears when you long-press a button. That way, users can tell what section they’re in or what each button does. It’s just bad UX to make people tap something just to figure out what it does.
