Unit 17 NoSQL Homework: Workout Tracker

This project was to create a back-end connection for a web-based workout tracker using provided front-end code with a Mongo database, a Mongoose schema and Express to handle the routing.

User Story

• As a user, I want to be able to view create and track daily workouts. I want to be able to log multiple exercises in a workout on a given day. I should also be able to track the name, type, weight, sets, reps, and duration of exercise. If the exercise is a cardio exercise, I should be able to track my distance traveled.

Business Context

A consumer will reach their fitness goals more quickly when they track their workout progress.

Acceptance Criteria

When the user loads the page, they should be given the option to create a new workout or continue with their last workout.

The user should be able to:

• Add exercises to the most recent workout plan.

• Add new exercises to a new workout plan.

• View the combined weight of multiple exercises from the past seven workouts on the stats page.

• View the total duration of each workout from the past seven workouts on the stats page.

Tech Stack

• Node JS - Chart JS, Express
• Mongo Database
• Mongoose

Next Steps

Opportunities for additional development:

• Create a "favorite" workout and make this a quick selection.
• Connect to wearable trackers such as FitBit and Apple Watch.
• Allow the app to connect to social media.
• Improve the accessibility of the navigation.
• Allow the user to select preferred colors.
