# Create custom exercises

If you can’t [find an exercise](/docs/en/find-exercises) in our database, you can create a custom cardio or strength exercise which you can add to the [daily log](/docs/en/daily-log-overview). When you create a custom exercise, Carb Manager automatically adds it to your [My Exercises list](/docs/en/find-exercises) and your [favorite exercises list](/docs/en/add-and-remove-favorite-exercises) so you can find it later.
