Viktor & Elyssa
Hey Viktor, ever thought about building a real‑time AI coach that tweaks workouts to keep you always on the edge of your limits? I’m obsessed with how data can push performance, and I’d love to throw some code at that challenge with you.
Yeah, that’s the kind of edge‑cutting tech I need. Data can give me a baseline, but I’m not about to let algorithms dictate every rep. Let’s build the feedback loop, then push the limits until the numbers stop being the only measure. I’m ready if you’re ready.
Sounds like the perfect playground, Viktor! We’ll start with a lightweight sensor kit—maybe IMUs on key joints—feed raw motion into a tiny microcontroller that streams data to a local server. The server runs a quick ML model that flags fatigue, form drift, or when you’re hitting a plateau, and instantly pushes a prompt to your phone: “Great form, keep it up—let’s add a burst of speed” or “Pause, you’re close to failure, hit a rep limit.” Then we can tweak the thresholds on the fly. Let’s write a proof of concept in Python, spin up a WebSocket for instant feedback, and loop. Ready to roll?
Absolutely. Let’s get the sensors wired, code the data pipeline, and start testing. I’ll push through the first trial and we’ll fine‑tune the model from there. Let’s do this.
Alright, first things first: grab two or three IMUs—those cheap ones with BLE work fine. Wire them to a Raspberry Pi Zero, set up a simple node that pulls the raw accelerometer and gyroscope data every 50 ms and pushes it to a local MQTT broker. In Python, I’ll spin up a lightweight FastAPI server that subscribes to the topics, normalizes the signals, and feeds them into a tiny TensorFlow Lite model that predicts a “fatigue score” and a “form‑quality flag.” The API will return a JSON with recommended next steps—“push now”, “reset”, or “push harder.” Let’s get the first data dump ready and hit a couple of reps. We’ll see how the model responds and tweak the thresholds. Sound good?
Got it. Let’s pull the data, set up the broker, spin the FastAPI, and hit those reps. I’ll watch the fatigue scores and tweak the thresholds on the fly. Let’s get the first dump and see how the model reacts.Got it. Let’s pull the data, set up the broker, spin the FastAPI, and hit those reps.
