The application allows users to be accountable for their fitness and have a better understanding of their physical abilities. Individuals who are looking to become more active, set goals, or simply maintain their strength and physique can use this application.

Reason of Interest in This Project

I am an individual that strongly believes in the power of health and fitness. I believe that in our modern world it has become hard to be as physically active as optimal. I personally appreciate fitness tracker applications that provide clear metrics around fitness. Through my personal familiarity with fitness trackers, I wish to create my own software system.

Features of this application:

• Track various exercises performed
• Track calories burned
• Track duration of exercise
• Track total time of physical activity
• Track weight lifted for strength exercises
• Display current and past days of exercise
• Add previously performed exercise

Phase 4: Task 3:

Improvements of design for the future:

Follow the composite design pattern in my model

• I see that my WorkoutProgram class has a list of ExerciseList which has a List of Exercises. I would have my ExerciseList be the component, the WorkoutProgram be the composite, and Exercise be the leaf.
• Get rid of the association arrow from my WorkoutProgram class to Exercise by creating a method in ExerciseList to get a list of exercises. There is no reason to have that extra association.

Refactoring:

• Refactor my GUI into many more classes to increase cohesion and follow the single responsibility principle. For example, I would refactor highly repetitive code in the methods of the child classes to an abstract class.
• I could better organize my panels and various visual components into their own classes to follow the single responsibility principle and increase cohesion.
