The Workout Tracker…
…is tediously annoying. Building the templates was tolerable because I knew I only needed to do it once. Today I did my first workout… Why do I have to click "Edit", type in a number, tab over, type in another number, hit save, OH WAIT you did more than one set of that, so do it for every other set again. Har, har, har, you do more than one exercise, too. That’s peachy, so again repeat it all for the rest of those, too. You know, for someone who’s pretty static and never bumps weight up I could see it being useful, since it would never change. I typically have more changes in most of my workouts, so I’m not looking forward to this at all. Why couldn’t it be like the Body Stats or Lifting Stats and populate all the fields for you so it was just a quick tab over and put in the number? Honestly, I’m half tempted to stick to my Excel sheets versus all the time killing Edit/Save clicks. I know it’s new, and things always have room for improvement. But cripe, it should not take me that long to type in some numbers. Oh well. I suppose I’ll suck it up for a while and see if I just get used to it or something.

I’m with you Adam. The more I use the tracker, the more I find the numberous clicks & switches bothersome. I like the graphs, charts, but like you say, some time in Excel could produce those too.

I wish I knew how to make Excel produce those graphs, I just don’t use it on a regular enough basis to sit down and put it together. I’ve tried to find some good templates online to use but no luck. *sigh* We’ll see what happens… I’ve got the time, but it’s still tedious.
