CUSTOM EXERCISES!

YogiSteven · September 2017

Biggest flaw in this platform by far is the inability to save custom exercises. I almost left Crono to go back to MFP (gag) because of this. I figured out a workaround, but it's still a pain in the ass. Make this your top priority!!

While this isn't my top priority, I would also find this helpful!

I would like this feature as well to add calories burned calculated by elliptical/treadmill from the gym.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Two projects around custom exercise are on our list. First, we want to overhaul how we handle that in general and make it more extensible with better UI. Second, we want to make it available on mobile too.

We don't have an ETA yet, but its something we want to get done too!

Cheers,

Spencer

Great. Seriously if you can raise your tracking of exercises up to the same level of functionality that you have for nutrition that would definitely make this the best platform out there. Also please add some kind of functionality that accounts for body weight in calculating calories burned. Something like this at MFP, but integrated into the application AND with the ability to add Custom Exercises. http://www.mapmyfitness.com/improve/calorie_calculator/

One of the problems with many of the exercise databases is that they are often not up to date with the latest trends in training. Stuff like kettle bell and trx workouts are generally not accounted for. Things like 40 yard dash, 3 cone drill, pro agility drill, agility ladder...all the standard training drill for football are no where to be found. We have to take educated guesses to enter values for things like this. SO MANY people are training in ways that are not standardized. Having the best app to help us figure out and enter how much we athletes are burning would be a big boon.

FYI, we do already use body weight in the exercise system.
