Hello all,

I recently started working out again, and started thinking can I track my workouts using emacs org mode.

What I basically envision is tracking what exercises I did in a given day, repetitions and weights. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

The most important thing is to just recording the data. The exact formatting doesn't matter too much as long as it's consistent. That way you can always massage it to whatever you come up with later.

@JustJack23 are you comfortable with elisp? I am working on a package that should be able to fit the bill. I keep an org file with a heading for each session, a properties drawer with workout data from my fitness tracker and then I keep sets and reps of each exercise in an org table

I wouldn't say so, I am relatively new to emacs and lisp as well. But your idea seems quite cool!

@JustJack23 it’s still a work in progress but you can check it out here https://codeberg.org/jiewawa/org-workout

Not quite what you're after, but i track mine with org-habits, setting a recurrent timestamp. You can also add a note for each state change.
