Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Portuguese word for "rep" or "repetition" in fitness?
In Portuguese, one repetition of an exercise is called Repetição. A group of consecutive reps without rest is called Série. Both terms are central to any Portuguese-language workout program — if you can recognize these two words you can follow most Portuguese fitness content.
How does Fitnit work for Portuguese speakers when the app UI is English?
Fitnit's tracking is visual rather than verbal — the AI watches your body through the phone camera and counts reps automatically, with no text input needed. The terminology guide on this page covers the few English screens you'll encounter (exercise selection, results) so Portuguese speakers can use the full feature set without UI translation.
What's the Portuguese term for the macronutrient most people track for muscle growth?
Protein is called Proteína in Portuguese. For muscle growth and recovery, Portuguese-speaking lifters typically target 1.6–2.2 g of Proteína per kg of bodyweight per day. Fitnit's nutrition scanner identifies Proteína content from a meal photo — useful when reading nutrition labels in Portuguese is slowing you down.
How many people speak Portuguese, and why does it matter for fitness content?
Portuguese has approximately 258M speakers worldwide. That's a meaningful share of the global fitness community, but most fitness apps and programs are published English-first — so Portuguese speakers often end up learning English fitness vocabulary out of necessity. This guide flips that: bring the Portuguese terms you already know, find the English equivalents, and use the app comfortably.
