Clock during training

[abslover]

Hi guys,

I like your application. I use it on Android on HTC Magic.
So far so good. I like the very efficient way of entering the training results on the fly during my training.

Additionally I would like to have some improvement suggestions:

- put something like a clock/timer in it. So I like to check time between sets. Now I have to switch back and forth between a StopWatch application and FitSync. Its working, but not really convinient. Somtimes it happens that fitsync is kicked out and I have to login again...

- some exercises have no weigts and a time instead (front bridge i.e.). Is it possible to give this time information instead of weight? Would be great.

- make an option to increase the fontsize. Its a mayor problem for me on many applications on Android - too small text. Sometimes hardly readable. As far as I can see you are using the normal browser anyway - allow to increase the font and I'll be happy

- The video preview on my PC (probably not on the mobile too) is most of the time not working if the video will be played in mediaplayer. Something is wrong with the codec... I'm using Windows 7, which supports a wide range of codecs per default...

Some ideas for you...

-I use my sportwatch in the gym (now a Polar, used to be a Timex Ironman) to time my rest periods.

-I've been doing bridges and planks for years (for a screwed up back) and there are two ways I've dealt with static poses; for rep based I'll use a strength exercise and for time based I'll use a cardio.   For example...

Some exercises you want to progress to the next level rather than set a world record holding a plank for 3 hours.  In my case I put the details in the exercise note like "hold plank for 1 minute."   I'll then perform multiple reps of this - plank for a minute, rest for a minute, etc.  Once I got up to 8-10 reps without trouble I progressed to one leg, then one leg/one arm, etc.  By using a strength exercise I can also add weight.

For duration only, like seeing how long you can hold a wall squat, I set these up as a cardio exercise.  I put the details in the note like "hold wall squat as long as possible" and then log the time in the cardio "time" field.  The charts then show a nice time line of how my hold time is increasing.

Hope this gives you some ideas.
