An exercise diary of power and grace

While fooling around with Google Docs Spreadsheets the other day, I came up with a fun little exercise diary. Here's an image snag and a bit of a description.


My Evolving Exercise Diary, as I call it, is a worksheet containing sequential entries where each entry is a row with a type defined separately by the user. This approach lets the user create a personalized chronological list of diverse but organized information. I also built in conversions between English and SI units which helps me on my trips abroad.

Here are some of my current entry type definitions.


I can now keep track of both cardio and strength workouts as well as other information that I usually just have scratched in the margins of my workout log. It's been transformational.

I might publish this here if anyone expresses interest. Google Docs Spreadsheets are great.
