Just the other day I was asked by a Gymshout.com user, "why isn't there an option to input how many miles I ran or how many reps I do?" That made me realize that in a world that works out almost entirely according to miles, reps and weight, this new input system that Gymshout uses may be somewhere confusing.
Here's the deal, your body does not understand miles. Your body does not understand that you did 15 reps. Your body does not understand that you lifted 50 pounds. It understands two things, time and intensity, that's it. Time is the duration of a set or a run. Intensity is the amount of weight used in a lift or the speed during a run.
So in developing Gymshout, we decided that if the body only understands time and intensity, why would we create an input system that uses miles, reps and weight? It didn't make sense. So the input system is designed to work off of your honesty about how long you did something and how hard it felt while you were doing it. And if you are honest about it, you will get accurate feedback, scores and results.
If you are true in self you will be true in life.
