Something I can use to encourage me to not be so sedentary.
Here's a preview of my stunning design:
Yeah... I've even got car cleaning on there and there's still a bunch of nothing shaming me. I've got to move more.
This is all based on something I heard one time:
You should do at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise three times a week
I wanted to track this for myself, but I was unhappy with what was out there:
- Required a fitbit or something similar
- Simple calendar would work, but constantly evaluating "the past seven days" seemed obnoxious
- I wanted to play with templ and htmx!
Starting with some business requirements:
- my maximum heart rate: 206.9 – (0.67 x age) = 184BPM
- my resting heart rate: 60ish
- This says
- get at least 2.5h/week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (50-70% of maximum heart rate, 93-130BPM)
- or 1.25h/w of vigorous aerobic activity (70-85% of maximum, 130-158)
- even light anything is better than sitting
- extra benefits after 5h
I can be extremely cheap, and I don't like DynamoDB, so what's the next easiest thing? Store everything in S3!
Insanity? Or genius?
Yeah... I should just buy a Garmin.
