Van Haren for How do you keep track of your workouts? Tim S. Van Haren 2010-01-17T01:50:35Z 2010-01-17T01:50:35Z <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>
