Define events in Weight Tracker

[TrudieC]

I really like the Weight Tracker but it does not cover all the activities that I feel would contribute to weight loss or not.  Could we have the ability to create our own events or rename those there?  I do ball rolling and dance classes.  I'd also like to track events that are not beneficial like business trip, vacation, parties, etc.

Many thanks,
Trudie

Thanks I will try that I use a hrm so even if we could add our own for I know the calorie burn of all my workouts.

Good suggestion - I use the "Gardening" one for mowing so you may want to experiment with that one and see if it's aerobic enough for you.

Couldnt find lawn mowing will that be in the near future or will there be a way to add our own.

The exercise tracker is now available. To add it, go to My MedHelp, look for your trackers shortcut panel, and click Add a Tracker. The new exercise tracker will be listed as an option. Thanks for the suggestion!

We'll definitely have stretching in the exercise tracker. Look for that in the near future.

We've added parties and vacations to the weight tracker as events. You can now track these distractions from your weight goal.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Ball rolling is something that could be equated to stretching or pilates.  It hits your pressure points, massages and helps eliminate adhesions.

Thanks,

We're actually in the process of launching an exercise tracker, where you'll be able to track many different types of exercise. Dancing will definitely be a form of exercise listed on the new exercise tracker.

Is ball rolling a form of stretching? We have stretching listed on the exercise tracker, but nothing so specific as ball rolling.

We can add trips and parties to the weight tracker as events.

Peek - Since it seems that the exercise of the arm curls is negated by drinking the beer, we won't be adding this to the weight tracker!

Thanks for the suggestions!

12 ounce Arm Curls are not in there, either!  Lifting those beer cans can be quite the workout.
