What counts as a workout in the diet app?
- Anything that is geared to improving fitness for a specific outcome
Some examples that many of our users may participate in could look like:
- Bodybuilding
- Powerlifting
- Crossfit
- Sport training
- 5k training
How should they be rated?
- Light - Most WODs, powerlifting, and most weightlifting workouts; tough at times, but you get plenty of rest.
- Moderate - Pretty tough training where you're working hard with little rest. Bodybuilding workouts qualify in many cases. You could go harder, but it would take a lot.
- Hard - Workouts where you are maintaining a high effort of perceived exertion, with little left to give by the end. You can barely breathe, you're sweating a ton, and it's a go-go-go pace. Very few workouts qualify.
For endurance training, a good guide to start with is:
- Light - Less than 300 calories burned
- Moderate - Between 300-900 calories burned
- Hard - 900+ calories burned
What does not count as a workout in the app?
- Anything performed for general health, general activity, and fat loss, no matter how demanding.
Things that do not count:
- Recreational hikes
- Recreational sport where performance is not a focus (i.e. just for fun)
