Intensity setting for cardio exercises #9

Open windmueller opened 9 years ago

windmueller commented 9 years ago

All of my cardio exercises have an intensity setting, but I am unable to add this in Beefcake. The only available units are length and time.

Good suggestion. Will add this at the same time as when making it possible to combine the current input types freely. On Apr 27, 2015 20:48, "Stephan Windmüller" notifications@github.com wrote:

After making it possible to combine exercise input types (yes it took some time for sure, hehe) I'm questioning if intensity should be its own exercise input type or rather another input possiblity for exercises having input type Distance, or what do you think?

I back this opinion partly on that is should be possible to make a sentence like "Deadlift is a weight and reps exercise", Running outside is a distance and time exercise", but not "Running outside is an intensity exercise". I'm not 100% sure though.

I think of intensity as an input type which can be added to both duration and distance. For example, on the recumbent bike I would say either "10 minutes at intensity 8" or "5 kilometers at intensity 8".

Ok so then intensity could be an option available when using at least one of the 2 exercise input types time and distance.

Exercise input types today: weight, reps, time, distance (in the beta they can be combined)
