voiceworkout

Voice workout helper

This code creates a computer voice that walks you through a workout, similar to my shell interval trainer. In this case, there is some interaction with the program due to the inclusion of exercises that are not timed, but rather a certain number of reps, which requires the user to touch a key to continue the program when the reps are done.

The program is run like

voiceworkout routine.yaml

where routine.yaml has contents something like the following:

title: Example routine
exercises:
  - instruction: band dislocations
    number: 10
    istimed: true
  - instruction: pushups
    number: 50
    istimed: false

A more thorough routine is [https://gist.github.com/kljensen/49ecc10a1440d3efc1043eabf57463b4](in this gist). That will yield output similar to the following

voiceworkout v1.1
Now doing band dislocations. Do band dislocations for 10 seconds
Done with band dislocations
Now doing pushups. Do pushups for 50 repps and hit any key when finished
Done with pushups

Installation

You can build this from source (it is written in Go) or download the latest release of voiceworkout. It does not compile on windows right now because of using the https://github.com/pkg/term package.

Or, if you are a homebrew user, you can install voiceworkout via the kljensen/tap tap using either

brew install kljensen/tap/voiceworkout

or

brew tap kljensen/tap
brew install voiceworkout
