Inspiration

People who workout often want to put something concrete in front of their eyes to see progress. This app does that, and a bit around it too.

What it does

You would enter details of your workout sessions by tapping a muscle group and entering the exercise. Currently, the repetitions and weights are turned into a stress factor for that muscle. The more you workout a muscle, the redder it gets. This is a means to see what muscle areas to focus on in the coming days.

How we built it

We built it for ArchHacks 2017 in St. Louis, with code, grit and determination!

Challenges we ran into

As a starting Android project, we had a steeep learning curve but that made it interesting and delightful but also tested our patience. It is hard to code something which involves a lot of initial learning without instant feedback.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Being able to devise a good GUI
  • collaborate effectively
  • Staying up from Friday to Sunday zzzz...

What we learned

How Hackacthons can motivate interest in a particular technology.

What's next for MuscleBoy

The future looks bleak, but there might a some progress over the course of a few years.
