I would recommend this program to anyone who needs to keep track of their workou

Pros: My wife and I joined a gym this year and can never remember what weight, reps, and seat position we used, so I sought a palm application that would keep track of those things. Since my wife would never keep track of these things, I limited my search to apps that enable more than one user. First, PDAbs opens quickly. It doesn''t take 2 minutes of splash screens to load like some programs. Adding new users ("clients" in PDAbs) is easy. There are lots of exercises and aerobic activities in the app, and it is easy to add more--two features I find important. One feature I wish it had is the ability to skip through a scroll list by writing in the first letter (through Graffiti, for example). My typical aerobic exercise is "walking briskly" on the treadmill, and it is hard to keep hitting the down arrow while walking. (The treadmill shuts off the distance, calories, etc., if I am not using it.) On the strength part, I like the ability to repeat a workout, to record seat position, and different weight/reps for different sets. I also like being able to select the area of the body first, then pick from a subset of the list of exercises. I think the graphics could use some work. The calendar in My Sport Trainer is very nice. The charts are also better in other programs. In sum, I would recommend this program to anyone who needs to keep track of multiple people''s workouts but does not need motivational wisdom, fancy graphics, or instructions on how to do the exercises.

Cons: Absolutely none :)
