Connecting Points In An XY-Scatter Plot Graph

I made a data table to help me organize my workout schedule at the gym. On
the X-axis I used the date, and for the y-axis I have weight. I have several
different excersizes, and thus several different plots (on the same graph). I
don't do every excersize every time so the points are some what scattered.
The graph is a "XY (Scatter) with data points connected by lines."

Ok. My problem is that the points of a line are only connected when I do the
same excercise twice in a row (not row as in column). For example; on
04/06/06 and 04/08/06 I do bicep curls, the points are connected. But if I
work out a day inbetween those two, and do not do that excercise, the points
won't connect! Note that on the inbetween day I leave the space in my data
table blank.

Having the graph set up in this manner lets me see how often I work out on a
particular machine, and the progress that I have made over time. I want to
keep the graph this way if possible.

Thanks for all of your help.
I know my post is somewhat long, but I didn't want it to be ambiguous. And
frankly I want to get an answer that works.

Sincerely,

Interpolated for how you want Excel to deal with the blank cells. This has
to be repeated for every chart.
