Use the journal to track workouts, meals, measurements, medical and general information.
Each section is stored under its own file
tab. Although there are many data fields, you only need to fill in the ones you want to track.
The more information you enter, the more analysis you can do later with other tools.
This tool is opened automatically on startup.
To track data for multiple users, use the "Setup..." button in
the upper right corner of the main window to create additional
profiles. You can then view data for any user by selecting their
profile from the "User Profile" list.
Select the "Meals" tab to record all of your food intake for any
day. Minimize typing and save time by creating a custom food
database, predefined meal programs, setting up a favorites list and using
copy and paste. Other tabs let you store daily measurements, medical
and general information such as planned activities.
To record a cardiovascular workout (such as running and cycling), select the
workouts tab, then insert a
"cardio" workout form with the heart button at the top of the journal.
Record a weight training workout by inserting a
"weight training" form with the dumbbell button. There are
also options to insert both types of workouts under the main
"Insert" menu. Workout forms can be renamed using the "type" selector at the top.
Save time inputting workouts with the input wizard at the bottom of each
form and by using copy and paste. For weight training workouts, you
can also create predefined weight training programs. By inserting new
forms, an unlimited
number of workouts can be recorded for any day. For example, if you
run in the morning, swim in the afternoon and lift weights at night, you
would insert two "cardio" forms and one "weight training" form. There would be three tabs under
the "Workouts" tab for the current day shown in the journal.
Use the left and right arrow buttons and navigation calendar in the upper the left, to view previous or future dates in the journal. The
the date selected in the journal is always highlighted in orange, while
the current date is shown in red. By default, the journal always opens to the current
date. Information entered or modified will be saved in memory until
the "Save" button in upper left corner is pressed (or
CTRL-S). Every open tool is automatically updated when the journal
is saved or when a different day is shown.
After data has been entered, it can be
viewed on a monthly calendar, plotted on a chart or analyzed using the
statistics tool. By default all of the calendars are color-coded by
workout and activity type. Use the summary in the lower left to
view basic statistics for the current week, current month and entire
journal database. Use the menus above to find and analyze
information in the journal. Each tool is described in its own help section.
