Personal Trainer

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffDecember 10, 2004This little download is aimed at helping people keep track of their workouts, but unfortunately requires almost as much practice to master as an actual strenuous exercise.It is laid out fairly clearly--as a calendar with empty pale-yellow spaces under each date. But the interface turns out to be very sensitive; scrolling through with a mouse wheel will change dates at once, making it difficult to return to the desired position, for example. The exercise schedule contained in the sample file looked simple enough, but we found that we had to resort to the manual repeatedly in order to create our own. However, the application does work smoothly, and doesn't slow down a PC at all. The trial version allows creation of just 15 records. Experienced users likely will appreciate the way it displays entries, but the difficulty of learning the program is likely to deter many people from using it regularly.
