FitTrackr

About the Application

What will the application do?

• This application is a comprehensive health and fitness companion.

• The application will store user workouts including exercises, sets, reps and weight lifted. The application will also calculate the total workout volume and will store it as well.

• The application will also let the user see their previous workouts and the total volume they performed in that workout.

Who will use it?

• This application will be used by people who are into fitness and like to scientifically optimize their workouts and log their progress.

Why is this project of interest to you?

• I have used workout trackers in the past, but all of these tools are scattered over the web and there is no such application that can do it all.
• Also, most of the fitness trackers I have used provide the same basic functionalities and keep the rest of them behind a paywall.
• I also wanted to make a tracker that can track fitness volume over time, which can essentially show progressive overload and ensure muscle hypertrophy.

User Stories

• As a user, I want to be able to add exercises to a workout.
• As a user, I want to be able to log my workouts by adding my workouts to a workout logger.
• As a user, I want to be able to see the list of my Previous Workouts in the Workout Logger.
• As a user, I want to be able to see my Total Overall Workout Volume.
• As a user, I want to be able to see my progress in a particular exercises using the volume metric and see how much I progressed in volume from Day 1.
• As a user, I want to be able to save my workout log to file (if I so choose).

Instructions for Grader

• You can generate the first required action related to the user story "adding multiple Xs to a Y" by clicking on the "Add workout" button on the Menu Frame when you first run the application. Enter the number of exercises when prompted. And then enter the exercise name with set, reps and weight(in lbs), and then click "OK".

  • Repeat this n number of times, where n is the number of exercises you inputted.
  • After clicking "OK", the workout will be logged in the workout logger.
  • You can add another workout by repeating the instuction again, and this time the workout will be labelled as Workout Number 2.

• You can generate the second required action related to the user story "adding multiple Xs to a Y" by clicking on the "Show progress" button in the menu, which will "display a subset of the Xs that satisfy some criterion specified by the user" according to the edX requirements.

  • Specifically, it will ask for the exercise you want to see you progress in, and then it will display all the instances of that particular exercises you ever did from Day 1 with sets, reps and weight and then it will also calculate the total volume you did of that exercise.
  • And then it will also display the increase in volume from Day 1, essentially showing how much you have progressed since Day 1.

• Another required action according to the edX requirements "removing an X", which can also be generated by clicking the "Delete Workout" button on the Menu, which will then ask you to enter the number of the workout you want to delete.

  • Enter a valid number, i.e. a number that you can see in the "Display Workouts" Panel, and it will then delete the workout for you. If the number entered is not valid, then it will prompt "Workout Does Not Exist".

• Another one of the required user stories would be "Your GUI must include a panel in which all the Xs that have already been added to Y are displayed" according to the edX requirements.

  • This can be generated by clicking the "Display Workouts" button on the Menu, it will then display all the Workouts that you have logged in the Workout logger till now. It is also scrollable.

• Another user story that can be generated is displaying total volume, which will display the total amount of volume ever done.

  • To generate it, click on the "Display Total Volume" button on the Menu and it will prompt the total amount volume of the workouts that you have stored.

• You can locate my visual component by running that application and the hovering your mouse over my logo image which will then change to a different image, and then it will get reverted back to the original image when your mouse exits the image.

• You can save the state of my application by clicking on the "Save Workouts" button on the Menu Frame.

• You can reload the state of my application by clicking on the "Load Previous Workouts" button on the Menu Frame.

Phase 4: Task 2

• Sun Apr 07 19:27:47 PDT 2024
• Bench Added to Workout
• Sun Apr 07 19:27:58 PDT 2024
• Rows Added to Workout
• Sun Apr 07 19:27:58 PDT 2024
• Workout Added to Logger
• Sun Apr 07 19:28:04 PDT 2024
• Workout 1 removed from Logger

Phase 4: Task 3

• Potential Refactoring: I will implement the singleton design pattern to WorkoutLog which will ensure that there is only a single instance of WorkoutLog throughout the application. This will prevent the unknown creation of another instance of the WorkoutLog class and prevent unwanted duplication.
