Custom workouts for Garmin Watch

1. Define your workouts in a .yaml file with the following format:

   workouts:
   - name: LEG DAY
       steps:
       - name: Squats
           series: 4
           reps: 10
       - name: Deadlift
           series: 3
           reps: 8-10
           notes: last set AMRAP

   Check example.yaml for more examples.

2. Run the script:

   python workout.py path/to/workout.yaml

3. Connect your Garmin Watch through USB, and copy the generated .fit files to <garmin watch>/Internal Storage/GARMIN/NewFiles.

4. Done. Workouts should show up.

Notes

I made this to fit my needs, so there's some hardcoded behavior that works for me but might not work for you:

• The script creates strength workouts. This could be expanded easily.
• There's a hardcoded 1m rest between sets, and 3m rest between exercises. This could be expanded easily.
• Exercises are not recognized by the Garmin Connect app. Meaning you won't see the trained muscle groups or any other details. This could be supported, but not so easily.
