* Load Workout (One big list to load pre-saved workouts)
* Edit Workout (Edit pre-saved workouts)
[EDIT: Load+Edit can be merged into "VIEW WORKOUT, then you long click on them to > Load OR Edit OR view]
No need for the load/Edit menu buttons. The way I see it, once in the Workouts window (see previous post), clicking on a listed workout would "load" it. Once in that workout's window, there would be an "Edit" option. Additionally, long-pressing on a workout name would allow you to select from view, edit, or delete. Also, mutliple workouts could be deleted by selecting "Delete Workouts" from the workouts window's menu.

* View all (Could be merged with 'Edit Exercises', just on big list?
Same as above with workouts. As for exporting, I'm going to be using CSV format so that they can easily be imported into excel worksheets as requested earlier in this thread. BTW, I personally can't stand XML -- way to many brackets and levels of nesting.

Totally forgot about "equipment needed" so thanks for mentioning it.

* View all Target areas (With the possibility to open a sub-category and view all exercises within that target area) (Can be merged with "View all Exercises, see above ?)
Again, see above (noticing a pattern?

Not displayed in the screenshots, but I was thinking of these:
  • Foods: each food has nutrition info, food groups, etc.
  • Meals: each meal is made up of foods (duh)
  • Meal Plan: Each meal plan is a schedule of meals (organized by day like a calendar
I haven't given much thought into nutrition otherwise. I was going to name Meal Plan diets, but I figured similar naming would help people make the association. Plus, people who are trying to gain weight might think diet is only for people who are trying to lose it.

What do you guys reckon? I think we should start a proper flow-chart before diving into anything?
Not really any comments on this except that I was hoping to make this section flexible enough to allow users to create their own reports -- no promises though. As for diving in...I've kind of already done so. Planning is always a good idea, but programming is a hobby and this isn't that large of a program. That isn't to say that I think flow-charting is a bad idea-- just that I won't be doing it . If it makes you feel any better, I did sketch out a few things with pen and paper.

We can make use of the calendar to save some time, it would be enough if the app communicates with the calendar so it inserts named workouts and shows them on the widget. (Eg June, 25th 2010, Workout "ABS 1")
Yeah, nothing mentioned about the calendar/today widget is high priority right now. Perhaps I should update the OP periodically so that you all know where my priorities lie?
