What a simpler fitness tracker needs to improve on wger
wger requires too many taps to reach common controls while exercising. Strength tracking should accept reps and weight for every exercise, with separate default targets for warm-up, working, and cooldown sets. A deadlift routine shown as three sets of 7 at 225 currently requires opening each set to enter lighter warm-up and cooldown values, and the original 7-at-225 target can remain visible even when the intended working target is 5 at 225.
Finishing a set should start a rest timer automatically. Cardio tracking only needs time, speed, and activity type; outdoor route tracking is optional. Nutrition tracking would be helpful but can remain in a separate app.
A iOS app is important because the basement gym has poor Wi-Fi, and syncing or at least manual data importing is also wanted.
Key points
- Logging reps and weight should take only a few taps.
- Warm-up, working, and cooldown sets need separate saved targets.
- A rest timer should begin as soon as a set is completed.
- Basic cardio records only need time, speed, and activity type.
- The should work without Wi-Fi and exchange data with .
