Weighted bodyweight exercises

Benjamin Clifford 5 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 2 years ago 2

Support for bodyweight exercises with external weight to increase the resistance would be really useful. Tracking just the added weight is inaccurate, and modifying the minimum weight on every exercise based on bodyweight fluctuations is a bit of a chore.

This is definitely needed as it is crucial for bodyweight exercise progression.   Also, I recommend the following enhancements to support this suggestion:

1.) A separate field for the bodyweight and external weight.  Trying to do this with one field would be inaccurate and confusing.  
2.) pull the bodyweight from Apple health if available
