Thanks! I just found later that MuscleWiki also has videos of women (not sure if they have it of all exercises though). I want to add an option to choose the video format in the future :)


Just a casual +1 on this request, and thanks for the great website. I would also request a "I am not sure" option for the which muscles to train at the start.


Thanks for the feedback! I'll think of ways to improve that


Thanks for the feedback! I will think of a better wording.

I was even in contact with the people from MuscleWiki (super cool people) and they said it's fine for me to use their data if I keep my product free and don't generate profit


Thanks a lot!!


This is truly fantastic, thank you!

The overall experiences are so great. And I have strong respect for apps like this where I can enjoy a lot of features without being required to create an account. I understand it's difficult in corporations where KPIs like registration rate matters. But even when given a choice, it must be challenging to design seamless UX/UI and write code which works well with both locally stored data (without an account) and remotely stored data (with an account). I hope more apps adopt this approach. There are very few examples. Excalidraw is the one that comes to mind.

Anyway I really love your app, thank you! I'll use this in the next gym session (if I finally hit the gym...)


Thanks! The beginner / intermediate / advanced selection is available on the screen where you select the muscles. Adding warm-ups and stretching rountines is on my list :)


Just make sure it doesn't end up to advanced and convoluted (maybe an advanced mode/easy mode?). Really nice work :)


Thanks I had to check twice. My eyes glossed right over that and went straight to the muscle group.


Thanks! Improving the video sizes is on my list and will hopefully come soon :)


Thanks! Maybe this is something for you: https://stretch15.com/

This was actually the website that inspired me for workout.lol :D


Updated the prompt :)


Adding a timer is next on my bucket list :)


Good idea! Actually, I already have data for yoga in my database - I just didn't add it because I wasn't sure if it's possible to generate random yoga workouts or if they need to follow an order to make sense

I'll think of a way to add it :)


I don't think they need to follow any order, but some people might like doing them in various orders.


I'm sure a lot of yoga instructors would cringe at this comment. Yoga routines generally start out with same few basic warm up moves, they generally focus on a particular area of the body, working up to more difficult poses as the routine goes on, and end with some lighter stretching to cool off, most typically finishing with savasana (aka lying down on your back).

You could probably algorithmically generate routines like this, but I wouldn't suggest a randomly generated one for best results (or safety). There's a few really good instructors on YouTube, and I'd personally recommend looking there if you're after a thoughtfully composed routine to follow.


The site is missing warmups in general, and would be a good addition. Perhaps there some warmups would only be for specific exercise types. E.g. yoga warmups for yoga moves.
