Spring is finally returning and with it, for many, comes the desire to get back on track. We have already had the opportunity to talk about sports and Open source with our article Tracking sports with open source, on this occasion we want to talk about instead home workouts withOpen source.
In this article we will therefore discover applications that can be used by those who have the good habit of practicing at home.
wger
Let's start the list immediately with what is probably the best application for organizing your exercises at home. wger Workout Manager it is in fact a free and open application that will allow you to manage exercises, workouts and even nutrition. The application is indeed Open source 1 and if you want you can also manage it independently on your own server, alternatively you can use the service offered for free on their site.
As we said, it is probably the most complete application of all. It is a real manager for your training where you can also set a nutritional plan and keep an eye on your weight. The application is born with presets different exercises that you can select and also some exercises (and exercise variations) that you can perform to strengthen the selected muscles.
Not long ago it was also translated to 100% in Italian as you can check on Weblate!
wger, as well as on web, also exists on Android and you can only find it on Play Store (and it hasn't tracers 2).
Feeel
Feeel it's another application Open source 3 recent and well made. It has a couple of preset exercises: seven minute workout And a leg workout. Alternatively you can add exercises and create a personalized program.
The exercises are presented with images and by pressing on the exercise it is explained in detail what needs to be done.

openWorkout
openWorkout is an application Open source 4 very interesting.
The application was born with some preset workouts and the possibility of manually adding customized workouts. With images and videos the exercises to be done are explained. Very beautiful and done really well, the idea of the images is very useful especially for beginners who perhaps don't know all the names of the exercises and their execution.
We hope that over time the application will be more successful and add many more preset exercises although unfortunately development seems to have stopped.

Fast N Fitness
Another application Open source 5 which can come in handy is Fast N Fitness. It is an excellent application that allows you to monitor your workouts quickly and easily and is really very customizable. It also allows you to add cardio workouts a feature that not all applications have.
Graphs will also be created to help you understand the evolution of your training. Unlike the previous ones It does not contain any preset workouts but it is only suitable for those who already have a schedule to follow.
Massive
Another well-made application for training at home. It also allows you to track your weight, repetitions and even offers a rest timer between sessions. It has trend graphs and allows you to schedule workouts.
Workout.lol
This is not an application but a web project Open source 6. It is a very interesting site because it allows you to select your own equipment at home, you can then select the muscles you want to train and you will then be assigned some standard exercises to perform.
Home workouts withOpen source: other useful applications
In addition to these applications, we also point out other utilities that may be useful to you:
- Workout Time! An application Open source 7 very similar to the previous ones but much simpler and, unfortunately, without images or anything else. Useful for those who already know what they want to do and mainly need a timer;
- Lift, it's an application Open source 8 very simple which will only allow you to keep a diary of the exercises and repetitions performed;
- Open Food Facts, a worldwide database and Open source where anyone can share nutritional values related to commercial foods. Very useful if you are also following a nutritional plan;
- You are fond of non-applications Open source with which you feel particularly comfortable but they are full of tracers? You might think about removing their connection with applications like Netguard or TrackerControl.
