App keeps saying "enter a valid exercise" error

[atuesport]

I'm trying to log that I've lifted weights. 

I've been able to use the exercise types:

• Weights
• Weightlifting
• Strength training

But nothing but "Workout" is being considered legit - even though those other options are still in the list.

I am having the same issue with Elliptical. I had to set it as a run, save it, and then go back and edit the exercise type back to elliptical.

Hi there, @atuesport. Welcome on board, @pspaulding79.

Thank you for providing screenshots of the error message displayed, as well as your efforts while working on this. When manually entering a manual exercise, manually type the name exactly as it appears on the screen (i.e. "Weights", "Pilates") and instead of selecting a drop-down selection.
