This is really neat. Barrier to entry is super low. Congrats! I'd love the same but for meal plans, if you fancy building something else

Thanks! Yeah, that would be cool - I'd be interested in that as well.

I guess I'm still busy for a while with this project, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind :)

This is very cool!

I've been looking for an to keep track of my routine for getting my back in order after a broken vertebra. Many of exercises I'm doing can be found in this app already, and using this app is so straight-forward that I take this to test right-away.

Nevertheless, I would like to know if it will be possible to add own exercises also?

I do feel like most beginner/intermediate lifters with gym access would be better served just picking a standard full-body workout routine (e.g. GZCLP) and sticking to it. Figuring out which muscle groups you'd like to be targeting with specialized exercises is not something you should be doing as a novice.

The issue with most of those workouts is that they often incorporate „unhealthy“ exercises like squats (with weights) or situps. I find it really hard to find one that focuses on health rather than building muscle.

... how are squats "unhealthy"?
