workout tracker recommendation
I love the workout tracker but find it much more difficult to use than the diet tracker. Please upgrade to enable workout tracker to be personalized . I wear a heart rate monitor for my workouts so I want to be able to record my specific results. The exercises listed in the workout tracker do not tie in my exercise program. For exaample I do a lot of classes at my gym. I would like to put in my class name and my specific caloric burn for that class and add it to my workout plan. Similar to the "create a food" section of the diet tracker.

ditto, but for now I'd accept. . .
A simple, but major upgrade, would be to add the number of calories burned for each workout entered into the fitness tracker. Once I enter my workout, I have to go to "My Home" to find out how many calories I burned.

Ditto & ditto
The tracker does not co-ordinate with the numbers the Elipticle machine I use says i have burned. For instance today it caluclated that i burned 616 calories, however beecause of the intervals and intesity level i do my total per the machine was actually 763 calories. Please add a way to allow users who use machines or body bugs (my next investment) to enter thier calorie burn manually and update the capabilities to allow one to see what the system is saying they burned on the tracker page without going to My Home. Thanks for the site, just discovered it and telling everyone i know that they need to check it out (even my coworker who is struggling to gain weight!!) Thanks for such a great tool!!!!!

cals burned
First change to happen will be a totaling of calories burned on the workout tracker page. Then we'll add the totals to each exercise within your workout (as that is more involved from an interface standpoint). When we do that part we'll make the totals per exercise editable by the user.

Ditto to all!
I've been trying for days to figure out how to manually enter calories burned into the workout tracker. Glad (not really) I'm not the only one having this problem! Glad to see Fit CLick is doing something about it- also very frustrated to have to constantly go back to the home page to see how many calories it "said" i burned compared to what my HRM said i burned.... This is a great site- stoked to see Fit Click respond to our input. It would also be cool to get emails on new upgrades to the site, and a site "how to" would be awesome- as i've spent many many hours with trial and error trying to make thing work. THX!

Ditto to personalize WorkOut Tracker!!
I use dvd exercise videos and in order for me to add my work out exactly as I've done it I have to input every single move. So, there is a lot of guess work on what I've actually done which means calories burned aren't accurate either. Having it to work like Diet Tracker is a great idea!! Thanks again for all your hard work making this the BEST site on the net!!

Manual Entry of Calories Burned
Thanks! Do you know when this feature will be ready? I just bought a heart rate monitor and I am excited to use it with this fun site.

Please provide way to enter calories burned manually
@FitClick - this doesn't totally answer the request. I think what is needed is what @robertac suggested - a "my workout" similar to the "my recipe" but allow users to enter the name of the workout a description and calories they burn during the exercise. I workout from home using DVDs or attend a boot camp at my local gym. For bootcamp, exercises constantly change, but I wear a heart rate monitor / calorie counter to calculate my calories burned. Similarly for the DVDs. Entering every individual exercise would take me close to :30 every day really demotivating me from tracking this.
Any thoughts on when you might allow users to create their own exercise plan but not be forced to choose from the exercises you provide to build that plan?
