:question: Issue response
Team chose [response.NotInScope]
- [x] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: 
The scope is already defined here. It is not out of scope at all. If this was the case, it should only be targeted at weightlifters. Exercise is a superset of weight training and this application's core features only address weight lifting (accepts only kg and lbs in their add command).
For people who are "trying to keep fit or hit a fitness goal", I do not believe that it is out of scope to assume that they run.
## :question: Issue severity Team chose [`severity.Low`] Originally [`severity.Medium`] - [x] I disagree **Reason for disagreement:** http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/exercise.htm It is difficult to estimate how many people lift weights consistently, but a good ballpark estimate is that ~25% in the U.S. Let us assume that Singapore (or your selected target audience, worldwide, nus, etc.) has double that amount at 50%. It is still half of the users you are not addressing, which is a pretty big percentage. Not only that, weightlifters do not only lift weights, they do cardio exercises and stretching as well. This application right now only targets people who only weightlift now and does not address the scope defined in a meaningful way. I believe that there is a case for high severity. Consider these cases among the target audience: I only do other exercises. I do other exercises and weightlift equally. I only weightlift. Assume every category has an equal amount of people. This means that 33% cannot use this application as stated. 33% will not be able to key in half of their exercises. 33% will be able to use the application just fine. This just means that they have only effectively targeted 33% of their target audience. Hopefully this clarifies my stand.
As in a previous issue, runners are unable to add their workout correctly as a weight component is necessary followed by repetitions. The target users are not for users who want a fitness tracker but rather for weight lifters.
