Add time as an option for excercises
Use case
For exercises like a plank, for example, it would be nice to have the option to set a time instead of repetitions. For example, if I want to do a plank for 60 seconds, the app will open a countdown timer for 60 seconds.
Proposal
Currently I can only use repetitions as a UoM, so I have to set the plank for 60 reps, but this does not correctly reflect the excercise.

I was thinking about this also for when creating a workout routine including Running. We should be able to add a distance and/or time for running
You can already set the unit for the exercise to a time or distance unit. It would be awesome if the app would actually show a timer then.
hey @tbouri ! The problem with showing a counter is that we don't what the units are. While we can hard code the IDs we use, this won't work if users have setup their own instance and added their own (which is not the regular case, but there's definitely people out there that have done that). We could perhaps add some more information to the units, so we'd know if if it was a time unit or a distance?
I think this would be a great feature. Would it be enough to just hard code three units (minutes, seconds, hours) as times? I don't think there is any need to support any other time units.
