Loft or loft-fitness is a little CLI tool for tracking progress of fitness exercises. More to the point, it's an introductory exercise in Haskell for the author. But it could potentially be helpful to someone.
Is very similar to the word løft in Danish, which is the imperative verb lift. Do you even loft, bro?
As a preliminary step, go and get stack. Go here to get it.
Then clone the loft repository
git clone [email protected]:WilliamHPNielsen/loft-fitness.git loft-fitness
and cd into the root directory of loft;
cd loft-fitness
Now build the package with stack:
stack build
If the above step works, you have succesfully built loft. Good job!
In the root directory of loft, do
stack exec loft-exe
This will execute loft.
You use loft by entering sessions. First provide the name of the session you are currently logging, e.g. bench press or push-ups. Then enter weights and reps for each set until you are done, at which point you should enter q or Q as either weights or reps. This exits loft. You can rerun loft to log your next exercise.
Note that weights can only be floats and reps can only be integers. If you enter something that can not be parsed as the appropriate type, loft will ask you to retype. This is a user-friendly feature 😊.
The logfile with your weights and reps is called sessions.log. That name is currently hardcoded.
There are many. See the issues here: https://github.com/WilliamHPNielsen/loft-fitness
