feature request. bodyweight exercise support

[nutpantz]

Body Weight exercise support would be fantastic I think it usually only needs just exercise name, and either reps ( ie sit ups) or time (plank held for time)

I already opened issue #33 to address other types of exercises. Instead of adding additional exercise types in fastnfitness, it would be better to rewrite the app, so that you can define the type of recording in the exercise itself.

@geniusupgrader, Rewriting the app for this feature is to me a bit too much. :). Anyway, I believe that a small checkbox in the weight box or a new type of exercise should do the job. I will assign this issue to me as my next commit will add some architectural change that should ease the implementation of this topics. Thanks.

I glanced over the code two or three times and I know it is a big rewrite. But one must not do it in one try:

• first implement option for type in exercise
• then change database controller
• then do the connection in training tab
• then possible do a change of database controller again
• then do the visualisation...

But a checkbox would do it for now. So thanks again

Hi @brodeurlv ,

Instead of a checkbox, I'm proposing a dropdown called "Exercise type" and filled with the following:

• Barbell
• Dumbell
• Machine
• Bodyweight

With this new field, the "total weight" for both an exercise as well as the session could be modified to reflect the exercise type:

• Barbell: Would just use the value as-is.
• Dumbell: Would double the value.
• Machine: Would be the value as-is.
• Bodyweight: Would use the current weight from the weight tracker -/+ whatever weight entered. Example, someone doing dips and entering "+25 lbs" it would be assumed that you did your dips (a bodyweight exercise) with an extra 25 lbs. If doing assisted pull ups and having it set to 20 lbs, the use would need to enter -20 lbs.

Could be cool to have. Feel free to assign to me if you agree with the suggestion :)
