Cardio Load seems to be designed to induce people to "upgrade" to a paid
Premium subscription. But like some other features releated to
"exercise", it does not work with the machinery I use at the gym:
Elliptical, Stairmaster and Treadmill. Tracking exercise insists that you
must be moving, as measured by GPS, and the GPS map takes over the
screen and prevents you from seeing heart rate, which is the most useful
measurement in real time for me.
