<p>What are you guys using to keep track of workouts? Paper logs, spreadsheets, special software...</p>
<p>I'm considering buying an iPhone app for doing so, but haven't found any that has really impressed me. So, what's your take on this?</p>

Van Haren2010-01-17T01:50:35Z2010-01-17T01:50:35Z<p>I used <a href="http://www.fitday.com" rel="nofollow">fitday.com</a> for a brief time, but found it to be not exactly what I wanted, so I started keeping track of information related to my jogging on my own. </p>
<p>Basically, I started with a spreadsheet with only a few columns:</p>
<ul>
<li>Start date and time</li>
<li>End date and time</li>
<li>Distance ran</li>
<li>My weight</li>
</ul>
<p>I would then use that info to compute my BMI, calories burned, average speed, etc. in other columns in the spreadsheet.</p>
<p>After awhile I wanted more info than what a simple spreadsheet gave me, so I created a web application that I use for my own personal use that has some nice graphs, some simple reporting, and more calculations (I'm a developer, by the way). At some point I'm going to make this tool public for everyone to use since it's been so effective for me.</p>
