Inspiration
As someone who is very passionate about maintaining good physical health but at the same time is constantly burdened by the busy life of college, I want to push out a project that allows everyday students going into fitness without the free time maintain a healthy lifestyle.
What it does
Depending on the current enrollment status of the student and their BMI (Body Mass Index), we created a plan that allowed students of different body types to stay fit and active.
How we built it
Javascript, HTML/CSS. Mainly using HTML/CSS, as most of it was front-end. However, in the process of calculating the BMI and corresponding their value to a workout plan, I used JavaScript.
Challenges we ran into
It was very difficult to really provide a unique plan for people of varying body types that fits the constraints of their time. We had to really dive deep into what exercises people at each different body type really need.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to pump out a semi-working product with an idea that I am extremely fond of. I really hope that projects such as mine give a signal to people that you don't necessarily need to go to the gym for 2 hours every day to be healthy.
What we learned
Don't spend too much time thinking of the idea, and that it's ok to trust yourself and move forward even if you are not entirely sure. Because I kept on overthinking and doubting some of the implementations I wanted, I ended up using a lot of precious time.
What's next for HealthyU
I want to continue making a larger number of plans with more potential benefits. If I am satisfied with how it turns out, I would definitely love to transition over to Flutter and begin developing the project on mobile devices.
