Add exercise to documentation

[nathanmerrill]

Looks like exercises was added recently. I'm struggling to figure out how to use it, so some documentation would be great!

Same here, although when I run day.exercises it just returns [<Cardiovascular>, <Strength Training>] as opposed to any actual data, so I wonder if the exercise bit doesn't actually work!

I'm afraid that was a community contribution from @samhinshaw, so we'll either have to ask him to write some docs, or you folks can come together to try to write them -- I'd be glad to accept a PR covering that functionality's use.

Looking at the code it looks like each of the objects you see printed (<Cardiovascular> or <Strength>) has a few useful properties:

• name ('cardiovascular' or 'strength', at least)
• entries
• get_as_list()

Try those out to see what you get!

Thanks @coddingtonbear , just tried it, and both entries and get_as_list() gave me what I wanted (name, duration and calories)

[coddingtonbear]

Could I trouble you to post some sample output from each of those commands so even somebody who doesn't use this feature of MFP might be able to write some docs?

[AleenaCodes]

No problem, I've submitted a pull request

[coddingtonbear]

Thanks so much for adding some docs, @AleenaCodes; I'm sure that'll help lots of folks!

[samhinshaw]

Awesome, thanks @AleenaCodes! Sorry about that 😶
