Smart Trainer using OpenCV

Exercise is beneficial to human health; however, if performed incorrectly, it becomes ineffective or even harmful. Obesity mostly occurs in people who do not exercise. Current research demonstrates the importance of exercise and considers it as a goal for a healthy lifestyle. Users can be encouraged to exercise correctly with the help of a fitness trainer; however, performing exercises incorrectly without the trainer's direction can be fatal; several complications, such as muscular soreness and cramps, can occur while exercising without supervision. However, when it comes to the trainer, it is very expensive to practice with a skilled fitness trainer. Therefore, this article has attempted to design an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based virtual trainer, a tool that analyzes a user's workout posture and provides individualize and in-depth advice on the ways to correct training and exercising mistakes.
