[Feature Request] Interactive "Fitness-Timer/-Player"

[SHU-red]

Hi there,
i stumbled upon your workout-generator and i love the idea!

This is exactly what i need wanted to have a diversified workout --> Just generate a new workout every day i want to train

That would be nice is to have some sort of play-button which then starts timers interactively with acoustic countdowns etc. to be able to run and guide my workout from the browser

Additionally:
Im thinking about creating a golang-based project using fyne for GUI stuff and utilizing the fitness-API to pull workouts
Im absolutely a beginner programmer but could be a fun project (if im able to find the time)

Is there already anything similar out there having?

• Countdowns?
• Acousic signals
• Voice output using e.g. espeak
• Pause-Play etc

Hey, thanks so much for reaching out - I'm glad you like the idea! I like your suggestion of real-time functionality with acoustic countdowns and I actually have another project in the works which has the foundation for this with animations and play/pause functionality. I'll just need to deploy it and you could give it a whirl.

It would be very cool if you built up your own project around this API - be sure to share it if you do, I'd be interested to check it out! I'll consider adding your suggested features to my other project and share any progress as well. 😎

OK,
sorry for the late reply.
I definitely wanted to give it a try because im searching exactly for something like this --> Different workout each and every day

So i managed to build a first take during several weeks:

I would love you to try it
There are by far not all functions i planned included yet but i am already using it for working out
The whole settings-section is the most important thing missing at the moment

I would love you to try it out

Thanks

That's super cool! Thanks for sharing 😄 How have you found the workout suggestions from the API? I know it's pretty limited so feel free to make suggestions/open a PR here to add some more variation.

I've just open-sourced and deployed the other fitness project I mentioned before which has the ability to save workouts and play them in real-time in the browser - I'd be chuffed if you tried it out.
Code: https://github.com/sebhulse/generate.fitness
Project: https://generate.fitness/
It's still a work in progress of course!

Gave it a quick test
Looks very nice
Cool to see different approaches to this "Workout-Player" topic

One of my main problems/wishes is to have a good support on how the exercise has to be executed
Sometimes im not fully aware of what a specific exercise even is
But i know this is a hard task and there are some paid apis providing images etc.
