Fitness Database Design Help

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this board and php. None of the books I've picked up seem to help me retain the information so I decided to give myself a small project to complete. I wanted to setup a fitness database in order to track workouts, nutrition and anything else I can think of along the way.

Before I get to that point I need some guidance on how best to setup a database. I googled in hopes of finding a script or database already setup so I can see how they designed it but no luck so far. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Or what should I be looking for when designing the database.

Thanks

Research database normalization. This is most likely the direction you're going to want to take.

Thanks to both of you for your assistance, looks like I got some reading to do. Hopefully I can get some feedback on a draft of the database once I get it together.


Thanks
