Basic View

Personal Trainer is based on a four weeks calendar, which holds all the scheduled workouts. Different colors are used for different intensities. On the right, a small summary is shown for every week.

Days not available for training can be marked  with a red 'x' using the year planner. Different colors for days can be used to show some special circumstances like holidays or business trips.

Setup of a workout

Before you can start with your workout, it has to be set up first. The idea behind Personal Trainer is not to do do as much workouts as possible - you should try to organize your training. Take the time to create your schedule for the next month and afterwards do the workouts as scheduled.

For each workout you have to select a predefined exercise and the duration (distance or time). The heartrate target zone is calculated automatically using your current maximum hearrate.

Logging a workout

It is a good idea to log as much details as possbile, to get the chance for a better analysis of your training. Personal Trainer can store details for the whole workout and also for the "effective part", this is a very useful feature for interval training or performance tests to skip the warm-up and the cool-down phase.

• Distance and time (total and effective)

• mean and maximum hearrate (total and effective)

• Track

• Sports equipment (road racing bike, mountain bike, ...)

• subjective Intensity
