I'd like to be able to "copy" my fitness from day to day, if I am doing the same exercises multiple times. Is there a way to do that?? Especially if I am creating a customized strength training plan with various exercises. I would like those to be able to "copy" to other specified days in the future. Help!

why can i only track minuets OR miles, not both? if i track both it counts as 2 events, so i can't track both for my teams.

Kudos to the SparkPeople site & its trackers. This is my first share after tracking food for about 10 days. That was initially all I really wanted – an accurate food tracker plugged into nutrition. I am still exploring the site & I am a little slow about it right now because of searching and entering food items I like & use. Once I have most of my favorites in, I think it will be a breeze. I am very impressed with SparkPeople: how it is integrated & its hints, demos, & how it gives me what I need to track my health in many different ways. Each new thing I find, allows me to look at my eating behavior in a new way. It is helping me understand nutrition better and how to incorporate better nutrition into my diet. I have tried several other sites; this one is by far the best, the most comprehensive, user-friendly site I have used for improving my health & diet. Can't wait to keep discovering more each week. THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)

Hello all, this is my first time on here,I'm trying to get my head around this !!
I'm 61 and had a knee replacement 8 weeks ago so I can only do walking at the moment and I don't know how to enter it manually , if it has such a thing.
Is there anybody out there that can help me.
Thanks

I don't like that I can't record any fitness activities except for strength and cardio!! I am a beginner here and don't always like to do high impact exercising! I love my yoga! I also burn calories at work waitressing. I add all my calories burned to my cardio, I just enter them manually. The reason I do this is so that I know how many minutes I have worked out, even if it is low impact!

It would be helpful to have a circuit training option. I go to curves and do a 30 minute routine... if I could click on that my exercise tracking would be more accurate. Thanks for considering. :)

Want to do my own work out and then it can tell me what I burned. I have knee problems and neck problems do can't do these things till I lose some weight.

My issue is with the Cardio section. I really wish it were set up more like the strength training section, where i can list the things I want to do then check them off as I go. Then if the need arises I can come back & add to or change a program I think this wld be much less confusing.

Very frustrating to find out the calories you burn do not appear on your start page. I spent 45 minutes trying to get this thing to work. Ugh!!!

Agree not user friendly at all!!
