Xert is designed as a dual device platform running a mobile phone app (or Connect IQ player) in conjunction with a browser page on PC/laptop/tablet (running Remote Player or Session Player).  
While you could run the Connect IQ player alone, you will need to make your workout selection from the Training tab at [xertonline.com](http://xertonline.com) before starting the player.  
The EBC phone apps have many more features than the Connect IQ player which is limited by the Garmin platform.

Many newbie tips are posted in this thread –

I also use the Connect IQ app with a Garmin 530. I do not use the phone.

Be sure that you actually select the workout you want from the _Training_ tab on the website before starting the Connect IQ app on the head unit. First, go to the _Training_ tab, then find your workout, then click the select button for that workout, then make sure the workout is listed at the top of the page where it says _Selected Workout:_ with a checkmark. I’m not sure if this is your issue, but if you do this before starting the Connect IQ app on your head unit, then the correct ride should load.

It can be confusing at first because the selected workout on the _Training_ tab is not necessarily the same as the workout shown on your calendar under the _Planner_ tab. You can’t just click the _Automatically Create Recommended Workout_ button on the calendar and expect the ride to load on your Garmin.

Also, be sure your equipment is set up properly. [Here are the instructions for getting it up and running properly.](https://baronbiosys.com/faq-items/using-the-xert-workout-player-for-garmin-connectiq/) It should work flawlessly. It does for me.
