Exercise Routine App 🏋️‍♂️

Description

Purpose

The Exercise Routine App was born out of a personal need, intending to streamline exercise routines. Its primary goals include precise time control for each exercise, voice guidance, visual aids for exercises, and easy routine customization.

Challenges & Learnings

Developed entirely with vanilla JavaScript and CSS, this project presented challenges in asynchronous coding and working without a framework. Navigating public domain image usage and creating structured JSON files for routines added complexity. Despite the initial hurdles, the app now functions seamlessly.

About the Project ℹ️

Technology Stack

Built using pure vanilla JavaScript and CSS, the Exercise Routine App showcases the possibilities of fundamental web technologies.

Logic

Asynchronous coding techniques were employed to orchestrate the app's functionality, ensuring a smooth user experience during exercises.

Customization

The app allows effortless customization of exercise routines. By modifying the "Rutinas.txt" JSON file, users can create and tailor routines to their specific needs.

Getting Started 🚀

To use the app:

1. Download the entire project.
2. Open the "index.html" file in your preferred web browser.
3. Customize routines by modifying the "Rutinas.txt" JSON file using the provided structure.

Features ✨

Routine Menu

The app presents a user-friendly menu for creating and customizing exercise routines.

Default Routines

Two default routines, labeled 1 and 2, are included to provide users with a starting point.

Creating New Routines

Users can easily add new routines by extending the "Rutinas.txt" JSON file with a new array structure.

Voice Technology

Employing the Web Speech API, the app offers voice guidance, ensuring users stay informed about each exercise without needing to glance at the screen.

NoSleep Library

To enhance the user experience, a "NoSleep" library is integrated, preventing device shutdown during app use.

Technologies Used 🛠️

Web Speech API

The app leverages the Web Speech API to provide audible exercise information, making the experience more immersive.

NoSleep Library

Integration of the NoSleep library ensures uninterrupted app use, crucial for maintaining exercise routines.

Execution Flow 🔄

Upon opening the Exercise Routine App, users are greeted with a user-friendly menu. Here's how the app flows during routine execution:

1. Routine Selection:

   • Users select a routine by interacting with the menu.

   • Routines can be customized by intercating with the menu.

   • You can add more routines by modifying the "Rutinas.txt" JSON file

     

2. Initiating the Routine:

   • Clicking the "Empezar" button initiates the selected routine.

3. Exercise Information Display:

   • During each exercise, the app displays information in a yellow header.

   • Series number, time, and the next exercise are presented in a red box.

   • Exercise guidance images are displayed at the bottom.

     

4. Time Management and Voice Guidance:

   • Time is managed, and voice technology announces key information.

   • Users can advance to the next exercise manually.

   • The app freezes briefly to allow users to complete the current exercise.

     

5. Routine Completion:

   • The app guides users through the entire routine until completion.

   • An end routine message marks the conclusion of the exercise routine.
