| | | Ultimate Software for fitness tracking Hey everyone,
I'm new here, and I'll be posting my introductory post soon, but I had a question.
Do any of you use software to keep track of your fitness/health goals? I haven't been able to find any mac software that I really like, that work really well for me, and let me do the things that I want (like decent graphing!).
Since I'm a software engineer, I'm even thinking about writing one. If you could have the ultimate tool for tracking your fitness/health goals, what features would you like to have? Just curious since I know what I want, but I'm fairly new to all of this.
Thanks!

I don't really know of any. I am not interested in it either, because you can really just write stuff down on paper and it takes lesss amount of time doing so also.
Good luck though. |

| | | I have created mine using excel spreadsheets. From there, I can easily create graphs and charts from my data. I also do this for my clients. |

| | | programs are slow, you have to get on the computer every day, usually have to pay.
I have a book and on each left hand page I write my workout, on the right I write my food and at the back I write in all my notes.
you dont really need to get any more complicated than that. |

| | | For those of you who may be interested, I just bought Yourself!Fitness for the PS2, and it TOTALLY KICKED MY BUTT.
Wow. What a workout! I can't believe all the features this game has (cardio, upper-body, lower-body, yoga, pilates, meal planning, fitness tests...). Totally worth the price. |

I'm new here (hi everyone!), I was reading this thread and I was wondering if you would be willing to share your spreadsheet? I am working on one for personal use I wouldn't mind having some new ideas.

| | Hi, I'm after the same sort of thing. I don't want something that will tell me what to do like 'Yourself!Fitness' but just something that I can enter details and progress into, like when I train and for how long. What my weight, blood pressure, body fat % and pulse are each day (or week) which can then be shown as a graph.
Some of us preffer to use our PC than a pen and paper... drawing graphs and flicking through books can be a pain you see
I also have a PDA. It would be great to have software that would sync with this too. No-one know of anything that can do all this?
**EDIT** This looks interesting, although I was after something a little cheaper really - http://www.vidaone.com/

| | | Here is my workout worksheet. And, I included a publisher file (if you have MS Publisher) that is a routine to blast your core.
BTW - the Excel file has multiple worksheets (tabs)...
Enjoy,
Rip |
