Building a Personal Trainer with Python and AI: A Mind-Blowing Project

TLDRIn this video, I showcase my first-ever AI project - a personal trainer built using Python and AI/ML technologies. Discover how it detects human movements, provides exercise instructions, tracks performance, and sends workout summaries via email.

Key insights

💡I built my own personal trainer using Python and AI.

🏋️‍♀️The trainer detects human movements in real-time using ML algorithms.

📷It uses video images captured by a camera to locate specific joints and body parts.

⚙️Users can register using an email, choose a difficulty level, and start exercising.

📊The trainer validates exercises by checking the angle between different joints.

Q&A

What technologies did you use to build the personal trainer?

I used Python, AI/ML algorithms, the MediaPipe library, OpenCV, Nylas API, and Google text-to-speech.

How does the trainer provide exercise instructions?

It shows instructions in the form of pictures and offers a customizable duration for resting between exercises.

Can I track my workout performance?

Yes, the trainer sends you an email with workout stats, including calories burned and time spent exercising.

Is the code available?

Yes, I have made the code publicly available on my GitHub repository.

What advice do you have for learning AI/ML?

Start working on personal projects and continue learning and experimenting. It's a great way to grow as an engineer.
