[Feature]: let Exercises have discrete "Calories" and "Time" values (and not use "Calories per hour")

[mstgrv]

If you use an Apple Watch or other smart watch / tracker to track your workouts, the device does the calculation of the calories burnt for each actual workout you do, so it's not super useful to create database entries of exercises which have a "calories per hour" rate attached, because the watch gives you precise data on a per workout basis.

So it would be great to be able to enter Exercises more simply as:

1. Exercise
2. Calories burnt
3. Time

@mstgrv I should have named the App as SparkyCalorie 🤪 and not worry about detailed Exercise data!!!

I thought about replicating as much as metrics from Apple Health and along with hourly info. Then I just end up replicating Apple Health in here isn't it!!! So kept as much by loading by Day while sync with iPhone and exercise data as cal per hour.

Once the App is stable and Android Native App or workaround is setup, I will look into fine tuning exercise data.

I even have a some idea to build exercise guidance (text to speech) or even simple text & images etc.. But its in future plan. Not anytime soon.

Sounds good! Really cool to see how quickly you're refining this app, looking forward to seeing changes with exercises when you do get around to it!

Thanks for your patience! Just wanted to explain why this is currently on hold.

I’m planning to integrate Android support and am also working through the best data model to handle exercise and other health-related metrics from iOS & Android in SparkyFitness. To avoid repeated redesigns, I want to evaluate all required metrics carefully before implementation.

This part may take a bit longer, as I'm currently prioritizing some quick wins elsewhere in the app. I hope it doesn't impact your experience too much. Appreciate your support, and stay tuned—more updates (including better exercise customizations) are on the way!
