The inspiration for this project came from [[https://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/what-strength-aerobics-are-and-how-to-use-them-w-brett-jones/][Pat Flynn's conversation with Bret Jones]]. (For a more detailed look at Iron Cardio, go checkout the [[https://strongandfit.com/products/iron-cardio-by-brett-jones][Iron Cardio Book]] by Bret Jones.) After starting an [[https://github.com/rhelmstedter/iron-cardio][initial project]] that focused only on iron cardio, I wanted to be able to add more. This is essentially a fork of the iron-cardio project designed to add various workouts such as the armor building complex, and dry fighting weight.As of version 0.2.1, the way workouts are constructed has completely changed. This will allow users to construct their own custom workouts in the future. It will also allow the stats to keep track of how many reps of each type of exercise have been done.* InstallationUse [[https://github.com/pypa/pipx][pipx]].#+begin_src bashpipx install kettlebells#+end_src* Usage** InitializeRun the ~init~ command to create the database.#+begin_src bashkettlebells init#+end_srcNext, run the ~setloads~ command. This sets the units to either pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kg), the user's bodyweight, and the loads for the light, medium, and heavy kettlebell. This command can be run as needed when the user is ready to move up in load or bodyweight changes.#+begin_src bashkettlebells setloads#+end_src** Commands*** randomThe work out command generates a random workout.

The current options are:- ic- abc- btb- pw- wolf- customWhen run with no option, the ~save~ command will attempt to use the most recently generated random workout. Otherwise, use the ~--workout-type~ option to manually enter a workout, e.g.:#+begin_srckettlebells save --workout-type abc#+end_src**** btbThe save command with a workout type of ~btb~ allows the user to save a Back to Basics Workout. These workouts are constructed based on The Pat Flynn Show episode with Dan John [[https://patflynnshow.libsyn.com/the-best-kettlebell-program-for-beginners-the-btbkp][The BEST Kettlebell Program for GEGINNERS | THE BTBKP]]. The choices are ladders of 2-3-5 clean and presses followed by either snatches or double front squats. The warm up and cool exercises are not included in the workout.#+begin_srckettlebells save --workout-type btb#+end_srcThe program options are:|-------------+----------------------------------|| First block | Second Block                     ||-------------+----------------------------------|| 2 ladders   | 60 Snatches                      || 3 ladders   | 80 Snatches                      || 5 ladders   | 100 Snatches                     ||-------------+----------------------------------|| 2 ladders   | 10 sets of 5 Double Front Squats || 3 ladders   | 10 sets of 5 Double Front Squats || 5 ladders   | 10 sets of 5 Double Front Squats ||-------------+----------------------------------|**** pwThe save command with a workout type of ~pw~ saves versions of [[https://youtu.be/aHQLx_HhFqo?si=b68xBn41-tcGDVJE][Dan John's Perfect Workout]].

This is a gasser for sure.**** customWhen the ~save~ command is run with the  workout type of custom, allows the user to save a custom workout. Custom exercises need a ~workout_type~ and a ~variation~. The default is ~custom~. Exercises are chosen via a [[https://github.com/dahlia/iterfzf][iterfzf]]. Select ~Other~ to add a custom exercise. Select ~Done~ or press escape when finished adding all the exercises.#+begin_srckettlebells save --workout-type custom#+end_src***** Reps and Loads for Custom ExercisesUnilateral exercises such as the single arm overhead press (simply "Press" in the program) should have the reps doubled. For example, if the set and rep scheme is 3 sets of 8 single arm overhead presses on the left and right arm, that should be saved as 16 reps per set for that exercise.When the stats are calculated, any exercise that has "Double" in it has the load multiplied by 2. So Double Pressing a pair of 24 kg kettlebells should be saved as a load of 24 kg, but the calculations will result in 48 kg per rep. If using uneven sized bells, use the average weight of the two bells rounded to the nearest integer.***** Suggested Use for ComplexesConsider a workout out like the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHPfglRCp6M&t=13s][8 - 5 - 3 Rep Scheme]] from Pat Flynn. The ~workout_type~ would be "complex", the ~variation~ would be "8-5-3 Rep Scheme". Technically, a set consists of 8 Goblet Squats, 5 Start Stop Swings, 3 Push-ups. Then you would repeat this for 5 rounds. However, in ~kettlebells~ the user will add each exercise separately. So the Goblet Squat would be 5 sets of 8. The Start Stop Swing would be 5 sets of 5, and the Push-up would be 5 sets of 3.*** lastThe ~last~ command displays the last saved workout and calculates the stats for it.#+begin_src bashkettlebells last#+end_src*** viewUse the ~view~ command to search for previous workouts by date. If you have [[https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation][ripgrep]] installed, use the ~--preview~ flag to view more information about the workout based on the date.#+begin_src bashkettlebells view --preview#+end_srcUse the ~--Program~ flag to filter workouts based on a certain workout_type.#+begin_src bashkettlebells view --Program#+end_src*** statsThe ~stats~ command displays the aggregated workout count, time, weight moved, number of reps, and density for all workout in the database.#+begin_src bashkettlebells stats#+end_src**** plotTo display a line plot of the weight moved per workout, use the ~--plot line~ option. Add a line at the median with ~--median~ or at the mean with ~--average~.#+begin_src bashkettlebells stats --plot line#+end_srcTo display a horizontal bar plot grouped by month, use the ~--plot bar~ option.#+begin_src bashkettlebells stats --plot bar#+end_srcTo display an event plot of the current year, use the ~--plot event~ option.#+begin_src bashkettlebells stats --plot event#+end_src**** calendarTo display a calendar of workouts in a given year, use the ~--calendar~ flag and pass the year as the argument.#+begin_src bashkettlebells stats --calendar 2023#+end_src**** bestThe ~best~ command displays the top ten workout based on the weight moved.#+begin_src bashkettlebells stats --best#+end_srcUse the ~--sort~ option to sort the table by:- weight-moved (default)- reps- weight-density- rep-density- time
