Exercise Rep Counter

Welcome

Exercise Rep Counter is an N900 application that assist you with keeping track of your exercise reps.

How does it work?

In the configuration screen you can set up various options, they are all explained here.

• Name: Every exercise must have a unique name
• Reps: The target number of reps to do
• Mode: One of
  1. Manual: Push a button to count
  2. Automatic: System loops through until all reps done
  3. Accelerometer: The idea for this being that the N900 detects your movement in space and count reps that way. Please read more about this here. Note: I developed this because I was asked to...I have no intention of strapping my phone to myself and exercising...and I don't recommend you do it either. If you do though, it's at your own risk.
• Lead in: A delay before each rep cycle begins, Set to zero for off.
• Use ESpeak: If you have espeak installed (external, non-affiliated app) you can get the exercise counter to announce things.
  1. ESpeak - Say Rep Every: The app will call out the rep number ever n times, set to 1 for every time, set to 0 for off.
  2. ESpeak - Say At Start: Say something when you kick off the exercise cycle.
  3. ESpeak - Say At End: Say something when you are finished the exercise cycle.
• Steps: A step defined a unit of work in your Rep. Each rep can have 4 steps. Each Step has 2 timing phases (plus a Lead In if set). After each step the system can play a sound (Default Beep) and/or say something using ESpeak.
  1. Step Time: The minutes and seconds duration to do the exercise
  2. Step Wait: The minutes and seconds duration to hold the exercise
  3. Step Sound on: A checkbox to denote whether or not to play a sound
  4. Step Sound Button: Click here to select a custom file to play at the end of the step. The default is the system Beep.aac.
  5. Step Speak: Use ESpeak to say something at the end of the step.
