You can -also import or export data in CSV format if you'd like to move your data -elsewhere. - -The workout manager is slightly odd, as it requires you to enter sets -and reps for each exercise when you enter it into the plan. Then, when -you add a log entry for performing a workout, you then add what you -actually performed, in terms of reps and weight. - -I haven't tried the food log yet and I likely will not, at least for a -while. I have no need for a food log or calorie tracker at the moment. - -*** Screenshot Example -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: screenshot-example -:END: -You can see an example of a dashboard with placeholder data here: - -#+caption: wger dashboard -[[https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20230128-wger/wger.png]] |
