Inspiration
My best friend is an athlete and she mentioned that many of her teammates get injured because they don't warm up or stretch before cricket games. This inspired the idea to create a website where athletes could find helpful tips, warm-ups and stretches to avoid injury. Another issue that we recognized, however, was the growing rate of obesity in the United States. This rate has only been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic which has kept us all inside. With all this in mind, we set out to create a website which would help people stay active and avoid injury.
What it does
It provides users with a variety of fun workout modules to follow as well as three injury prevention modules to help users make sure that they are warmed up and ready for activity. It also has a page where injured users can find nearby hospitals. Finally, there is a page for injured users to find nearby gyms.
How we built it
We built it using HTML, CSS and JS as well as Canva for some design elements.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into challenges with making an injury survey as well as challenges with integrating the Google Maps API and embedding videos into our modules.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are especially proud of being able to integrate Google features into our website and creating our own logo from scratch.
What we learned
We learned to solve problems and work around obstacles. When we faced issues with our code or our project, we adopted a mindset of "the show must go on" and worked together to find solutions.Most importantly, we learned to communicate and collaborate.
What's next for Stayfit
In the future, we'd like to add more workout and injury prevention modules as well as create a point system where users can level up when they complete 10 workouts.
