Workouts Monitoring using Ultralytics YOLOv8 🚀

Monitoring workouts through pose estimation with Ultralytics YOLOv8 enhances exercise assessment by accurately tracking key body landmarks and joints in real-time. This technology provides instant feedback on exercise form, tracks workout routines, and measures performance metrics, optimizing training sessions for users and trainers alike.

Watch: Workouts Monitoring using Ultralytics YOLOv8 | Pushups, Pullups, Ab Workouts

Advantages of Workouts Monitoring?

• Optimized Performance: Tailoring workouts based on monitoring data for better results.
• Goal Achievement: Track and adjust fitness goals for measurable progress.
• Personalization: Customized workout plans based on individual data for effectiveness.
• Health Awareness: Early detection of patterns indicating health issues or over-training.
• Informed Decisions: Data-driven decisions for adjusting routines and setting realistic goals.

!!! Example "Workouts Monitoring Example"

=== "Workouts Monitoring"

    ```python
    import cv2

    from ultralytics import YOLO, solutions

    model = YOLO("yolov8n-pose.pt")
    cap = cv2.VideoCapture("path/to/video/file.mp4")
    assert cap.isOpened(), "Error reading video file"
    w, h, fps = (int(cap.get(x)) for x in (cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS))

    gym_object = solutions.AIGym(
        line_thickness=2,
        view_img=True,
        pose_type="pushup",
        kpts_to_check=[6, 8, 10],
    )

    while cap.isOpened():
        success, im0 = cap.read()
        if not success:
            print("Video frame is empty or video processing has been successfully completed.")
            break
        results = model.track(im0, verbose=False)  # Tracking recommended
        # results = model.predict(im0)  # Prediction also supported
        im0 = gym_object.start_counting(im0, results)

    cv2.destroyAllWindows()
