maybe Pilates could have a section under core exercises, like 30 min of Pilates has a certain burn count, etc.

Maybe not, but you're still burning calories by elevating your heart rate at least a little and engaging your muscles. It'd be nice to know how many.

M,

The thing about Pilates is that we really don't consider that to be cardio exercise- even though it is in the tracker. Unless something gets your heart rate into it's target training zone for at least 10 minutes at a time, it's not giving you the benefits that a regular cardio workout would.

It would also be great if after inputing a certain type of Pilates exercise, it could tell you how many calories you're burning per set, or total up your whole workout. Maybe if you just put how many minutes and what type of Pilates you were doing?

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm a mother of two and walk using a double stroller. My kids weigh approximately 60 pounds total. Maybe an addition to the walking/running/biking section with an added section with 10 pound increments for pushing/pulling a stroller.

I feel like I have to be burning more calories than if I were walking alone and the added incentive could only help. Thanks in advance.

Stacie
