Workout tracking.
Where it may fit
Consider a workout log when you already know the routine you want to follow.
- People tracking sets and repetition history
- People comparing a logger with a complete training program
What to know before choosing
- A log is not the same as individualized instruction or a starter routine.
- Decide whether social sharing fits how you want to record your training.
