Title: workout logger
Post by: Anonymous on March 14, 2004, 03:36:25 am

Hi all !

Does anyone know of a trainng workout logger for the Z or some opensource stuff that could be ported ?

Loads of these for the Palm series - maybe Z users are couch mashed potatoes :-D

wondering...

I\'m looking for this as well.  Perhaps a generalized database application would be good, something like ThinkDB for Palm?  Is there anything like that which we could quickly make into a general purpose data logging program?

I\'ve been trying to get one as well.  There is PortaBase for Zaurus on ZSI http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=663 (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=663).

It will import MobileDB formats from Palm, and many are at http://www.memoware.com (http://www.memoware.com). I just have not found that does what I want.  I have been learning PortaBase well enough to almost have one working for me.  I am trying to just get time spent in cardio activity and then lifting.  I want to track lifting increases.

Yes, Portabase is a start, but it misses a few workout logger specific features, such as

- monthly activity overview calendar
(yes, I know you can use filters, but it\'s not good enough)

- statistical functions
(other than min/max or average...)

-simple worksheet functions
(group activity specific data, such as times, reps. you can only use that
many filters to keep an overview...)

- performance graphing
(to see evolution)

- icons
...

The Z is still missing loads of apps and will therefore stay a pure geek
thing, I\'m afraid...
