Help! Looking for a free DETAILED exercise tracker
 

I want to track my progress to ensure I'm getting a balanced workout and push myself. For example, if I'm doing cardio, I want to record what program (video, machine, training method, etc.) and any metrics available (steps taken, intervals, etc.) Or, if I'm doing strength training, I want to track my program, reps, weights, muscle groups covered, etc.

Tried BWM, fitday, sparkpeople, and dailyplate - didn't see a lot of room for that stuff. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks.:)

I just downloaded iFitness for my iPhone, they may have a website too, but it seems pretty detailed.

http://www.runningahead.com/

It is primarily a running website but you can create all kinds of custom workout types and sub types. (ie. you could have "Video" as a type and have different videos as subtypes. The front page charts are customizable for what you want to display

If you want a preview, click on the part of my signature that says "my running log"
(by the way in weights you can track all the exercise/rep stuff, I just dont except sometimes in the notes so dont use my "weights workout" as the example of what you can do)

Ennay, will this site let you track a custom calorie burned amount? I use a Heart Rate Monitor, and prefer to use those numbers then the ones calculated for me and most sites will not let me override the calories burned :?:

You could only do it in the notes, calories burned is not a field it has you enter.

It only lists calories (I believe) if you enter a weight and an Avg HR for the workout. I dont think there is a way to override that or the formula it uses. It never shows calories burned on my workouts since I dont enter that info.

Bummer. Thanks for the response :hug:. I do get an Average HR, so I'll still check it out. Maybe the calculations won't be too far apart!

I dont know how/if he does calorie calculation for not running. He is pretty responsive to questions, I think you can contact the owner from the home page and ask him.

Forgot to respond on this thread! :o Woops. Thanks for the suggestions, ennay and ncuneo. I like to track my own calorie burn like you, Lily.

Maybe I have to resort to excel...:(
