does the calories burned calculation consider your weight? If so, which weight data point does it consider? the most recent?

Hi

Yes, it takes into account your most recently logged weight

Thanks

Just a suggestion but instead of the drop-down box (easy - meduim - hard - really hard), could a slider be implemented instead?

That way a more precise 'calories burned' could be logged (if you know them) or a quick estimate based on the current calculations using "easy - meduim - hard - really hard" as the graduations.

I hope that makes sense!

Hi Iain,

We've already got this covered. Above the 'Enter Data' button on the 'My Workout' page is a link to 'Enter Exact Cals'. If you click this you can enter in a precise figure

Hope that helps!

Thanks Chris!

My observation skills need some improvement I think!

The calories burned feature is posting inconsistent results for the same workout on 2 different days. Why is this?

Hi Liz,

This is most likely due to fluctuation in your weight - the calories burned vary depending on your weight at the time of doing the exercise. Also, if you've selected a different 'difficulty' this will affect the calories burned.

Thanks!

Hey Maxwell, thanks for the response. My weight, however, has not fluxuated a bit. I've only been a member since last friday and I'm the same now as I was then. Hmmm.

Did you definitely enter the difficulty as the same on both occasions? If not, something is amiss.

Thanks,

Maxwell
