What Exercise Types Can Be Tracked?
The metrics you track will depend on your workout style and fitness goals, and picking the right exercise type helps you track your progress effectively.
a. Reps and Weight:
Use this when tracking both the number of repetitions (reps) and the weight used for each set. It's especially helpful for strength training or weightlifting.
b. Reps Only:
This is used when you’re just counting the number of reps you complete for each exercise and weight isn’t a factor. Great for bodyweight exercises.
c. Notes Only:
When you only want to jot down general thoughts about your workout session without specific metrics. You might write how you felt, any challenges you faced, or any other observations.
d. Prescribed Time:
This involves doing an exercise for a set amount of time as planned in the workout program. It is common for time-based activities like cardio or HIIT.
e. Reported Time:
Use this if you're logging the actual time you spent on an activity. Distance can also be entered here so it's best used for jogging and running.
