Walk back/forth across room between sets.

So jailhouse 10 pushups, pullups, you would do 10 pushups, 10 pullups,
9 pushups, 9 pullups, etc.

I assume you can do 1 or the other??? Tabata or intervals. I'm equally confused by this. I assume you can do 1 or the other??? Tabata or intervals.

Implement swipe from 'today's workout' so I can quickly browse the archive. I don't always have the equipment needed on a given day so I have to skip around.

The 'past workouts' list should be changed to give more relevant info. See the image at http://img200.imageshack.us/i/ideas.png/ for 2 ideas (yes, I'm a developer).
