I don't need a workout routine. I need someone that checks if I arrive at the gym. There is no service for that. Once I am at the gym I work out.
MaaS (Motivation as a service). You send some a sum of money and if you don’t arrive at gym service keeps it.

Good idea! Actually, I already have data for yoga in my database - I just didn't add it because I wasn't sure if it's possible to generate random yoga workouts or if they need to follow an order to make sense I'll think of a way to add it :)
I don't think they need to follow any order, but some people might like doing them in various orders.
You could probably algorithmically generate routines like this, but I wouldn't suggest a randomly generated one for best results (or safety). There's a few really good instructors on YouTube, and I'd personally recommend looking there if you're after a thoughtfully composed routine to follow.

Lack of motivation usually stems from a lack of energy, which can stem from both physiological as well as psychological issues, which can stem from spiritual issues (the sense of self and how it relates to your environment).
If I'm well rested and in harmony with my authentic self, I usually don't have a problem finding the motivation to do things that are good for me.

#46Very nice! What can be added is to group exercises in beginner, medium and advanced and add warmup and stretching routines.

#47What an awesome execution. This app goes to show how you can build an excellent product even in a crowded market like Fitness. There must be gazillion workout builders out there, but OP's is the first one that I have seen which shows every exercise with example videos, and allows you to build exact workout you need without multiple google searches.

I'm sure a lot of yoga instructors would cringe at this comment. Yoga routines generally start out with same few basic warm up moves, they generally focus on a particular area of the body, working up to more difficult poses as the routine goes on, and end with some lighter stretching to cool off, most typically finishing with savasana (aka lying down on your back). You could probably algorithmically generate routines…
