it would be nice to see a cardio exercise with options like

time:
distance: kph/ mph or pace ( option for some exercises that don't have a distance))
workout plan# ( many cardio machines have listed workouts you can do) (option)
level: ( most cardio exercise machines have a level setting ) (option)
average heartrate: ( option)
max heartrate: (option)
perceived difficulty: ( how you personally felt doing this work out) RPE (rate of perceived exertion(new word for me)
route: for out door cardio (option)
calories: many machines ( and phones) track calories burned during the exercise. (at least the 3 i use do..)

or just leave the optional ones empty.
( i personally think these would be the minimum needed to cover most exercises or machines)

I don't do much cardio myself so I don't know how to fit this into the graphs. What sort of things would you want to graph with sets of cardio? I assume:

Distance this [week|month|year]
Heart rate this [week|month|year]

Struggling to think of an equivalent formula or calculation similar to our One Rep Max calculator. Is there something like that for cardio?

i would think for graphs would be pace ( distance by time) and overall average heart rate for a workout.
i am not good at doing cardio but and never use pace yet. but i would think people doing distance are more worried about their pace( which can get better) and not distance ( which can change every day)
many machines have calories burned also..
so that would be a good thing to graph by workout.
so im thinking for graphs
pace: higher is better
RPE :(rate of perceived exertion)
ave heart rate: lower is better to define fitness level, higher is better to show intensity of workout
calories: higher is better
tracking distance totals by week - month -(not year) would also be something many people would want i think

cardio is something i have to work on a lot more and i dont know that much

At the gym the machine there has
Heart rate
Resistance level
Time
Pace
Calories
Watts
Distance
Speed

And 6 programs which could just be a note

And the real pain is that it seems it's in miles and no one at the gym has any idea how to switch it to metric.
So a feature to switch between both would be nice
Like fill in miles and it shows km
Or fill in km and it shows miles.
For pace, speed and distance

Sorry I don't think i'll be adding cardio stuff any time soon. I primarily made this app for myself and since I don't do cardio I doubt I would be interesting in making the feature.

that is too bad, cardio is very very popular and very good for everyone.
its inclusion even on a basic level would give your app more users then how many apps only have distance and time as features for cardio.
