Workout Storing Application

This application is for people who go to the gym and do weight lifting. When the user uses the program for the first time, they have to enter their name, age, weight, sex, height and intensity of their workouts. The application determines the user's total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). The user can choose to eat more than their TDEE if they want to gain weight, or they can eat less than their TDEE if they want to lose weight.

Creating a new user

The application will do the following things (this list is not exhaustive):

• calculate the TDEE of the user
• choose the weight lifting exercises the user performed from the predefined exercises list
• choose the sets and repetitions of the exercise that they performed
• stores the weights used in each set of the exercise
• store the duration of the weightlifting session
• prints the workout record of the user

The user should enter the duration of their weight lifting session, weights used (including sets and reps) in weight lifting session in the application after completing their workout.

Reviewing previous workout records of user

This project is very close to me, and I have been dreaming to make a project like this since the beginning of University. Before coming to UBC, I started to do weight training and a bit of cardio along with it. I always wanted a workout app to log my weight lifting sessions at the gym, albeit all the application that I found were paid and did not offer all the features that i desperately needed. I decided that after learning to code, I would make an application which I use in my everyday life. My brother is a fitness freak just like me, and he has been into weight lifting for the past 5 years. I wanted to make this app for myself, my brother, and my friends who are health conscious and adrenaline junkies just like me. One of the main stimulus for muscle growth is progressively overloading your muscles in each exercise, and to ensure that the user progressively overloads their muscles, the application logs the weights used by the user for the exercises so that they can visualise their progress.

User Stories Fulfilled
