Sweet, but what's the deal with going slowly adding basic exercises?
hi,

I am following the approach of putting minimal yet useful version out and then tailor according to early adopters. That way I will not end up cluttering it with things not needed. Like for instance 3 exercises are ok, but if its goes more than that, I will have to develop a feature where you could hide an exercise you are not interested it (and may be add it later if needed).

But I will do it very soon. Best would be if you sign up and you would some to know immediately. Or follow us on twitter for updates @hmpgr.

BTW thanks for showing the interest. Would love to get more feedback if you find anything interesting to share about the app experience.

Why not allow users to add/remove their own exercises? They choose a name, and data they'd like to track for that exercise, such as distance, time, weight, reps. For example, they click Add Exercise, enter Squats as the name, and check the boxes for weight, and reps. Now, after their workout, they just click the Squats button under My Exercises, and enter the reps and weight they did for that day.
What is this hmpgr thing? Are you developing your app with them as a platform or is this your actual startup?

Kinda confused because I actually did sign up to try your app, but now I'm signed up to this other app and I really didn't want to do that.
