Workout tracking in emacs (slrpnk.net)

Hello all,

I recently started working out again, and started thinking can I track my workouts using emacs org mode.

What I basically envision is tracking what exercises I did in a given day, repetitions and weights. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

@JustJack23 are you comfortable with elisp? I am working on a package that should be able to fit the bill. I keep an org file with a heading for each session, a properties drawer with workout data from my fitness tracker and then I keep sets and reps of each exercise in an org table

I wouldn't say so, I am relatively new to emacs and lisp as well. But your idea seems quite cool!

@JustJack23 it’s still a work in progress but you can check it out here https://codeberg.org/jiewawa/org-workout

@JustJack23 I’ll try cleaning up the code and putting it up somewhere over the weekend. It’s not 100% ready at the moment and things are likely to change.
