The pandemic has sparked more people to exercise more than ever. Many people have started following workout videos on YouTube but is it safe? Doing exercises incorrectly could be very harmful to your body. Our project analyses your form while performing exercises to help you have better form and reduce the potential of bodily harm through exercising.
Our landing page features 4 different exercise options you can select from: push ups, squats, sit ups and planks. If you proceed, you will be brought to a page where your webcam access will be requested in order to record your personal workout video to analysis.
While performing a proper exercise real time with a YouTube video, all you have to worry about is your own form! Afterwards, our backend will do a comparison of your workout with the YouTube workout, and give you a score based on your form!
There is also a history and leaderboard feature which allows you to track your own progress, and also compete with your friends!
- Front end: built with React.js and a crap ton of Stack OverFlow 🔥
- Back end: built with Python, Flask (and originally PyTorch but we had to scrap the ML part, more on that below)
- Database: we used CockroachDB (which was great until the servers failed but s/o to Richard to saving everyone in the morning
We were able to get our project completed and sleep a bit!
- How to use hooks ⚓, Axios, and a graphing library 📈
- Writing Flask API
- Training ML models to generate skeleton images
- Select your own video (right now, we have pre-selected 4 workout videos, but ideally user should be able to choose their own)
- Real time analysis on specific flaws in user's exercise form and other stuff (like how Strava analyzes your workout routine)
- Detailed improvment points to add to a user's score on the leaderboard
