exercises.py I finished separating the exercises into their respective categories, and added a few more exercises and categories. I also modified the generator script so that first it asks you if you want to use free weights, and if you say yes, then it asks you if you want to use dumbbells and barbells.

Current Features

  • Generate a random workout for a user.
  • Take into account the number of days per week they want to/are able to work out.
  • Muscles accounted for in the workout: chest, back, legs, triceps, biceps, shoulders, forearms, calves, abs.
  • Take into account a user's goals (Strength, Endurance, Hypertrophy.)
  • Take into account a user's preference (Free weights, selectorized equipment, or cable equipment.)
  • Take into account a user's fitness level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and modify the workout given accordingly.
  • Save routine to a file for easy access later.

Possible future features

  • Add warm-ups, cool downs, and foam rolling to make the workouts more complete.
  • Include rest and tempo into the format.
  • Allow user to input how many sets, reps, and weight for each exercise completed in order to track their progress.
  • Allow user to substitute individual exercises in their list.
  • Remember weight used for each exercise in previous workouts if the user has input them afterwards and suggest the highest weight used for each.
  • Convert to a web app or native mobile app for use on phones/tablets (maybe both, since Apple is super strict on their app acceptance policy.)
