4.2 Entering Workouts
To enter a workout, go to the Today screen and tap the Workouts button, or go to the
Journal, tap on the Workout and Add buttons. This shows the Workout screen
(Figure 18).
Figure 18: The Workout window lets you enter basic information about your workouts.
You can use one of the predefined activities, or create your own.
You can choose one of the predefined activities, or create your own (more on this
shortly). Then enter the duration and the exertion level, and MyPersonalDiet will
calculate the energy expenditure (in calories or kilojoules), along the fat being burnt out
during the execution of the workout. You can also enter your average heart rate if you use
a heart rate monitor. The duration and the average heart rate can be charted in the Charts
view.
To create your own activity, tap on the Activity entry. This shows Activities screen,
which shows the most recently-used activities first. Tap the Add button to create
your activity (Figure 19). Enter the activity name, the type (cardio or strength), and
choose an icon and icon color. You can also specify how much energy this workout
requires when done for 30 minutes at a moderate intensity. This provides
MyPersonalDiet with the ability exactly calculate how much energy is burned based on
the duration and exertion you enter later on.
If you are using VidaOne Diet & Fitness (described in section 1.3) and have created
custom fields, you can select them by tapping on the Custom Fields button.
Based on the duration and
exertion, MyPersonalDiet
can calculate how many
calories you burnt and
how much fat you lost!
You can select one of the
pre-defined activities or
add your own.
Use these buttons to enter
general information,
route, custom fields
(when using VidaOne
Diet & Fitness) and a
note.
