# Workouts Monitoring using Ultralytics YOLOv8 🚀

Monitoring workouts through pose estimation with [Ultralytics YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/) 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.

## 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 overtraining.
- **Informed Decisions:** Data-driven decisions for adjusting routines and setting realistic goals.

## Example

```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
from ultralytics.solutions import ai_gym
import cv2

model = YOLO("yolov8n-pose.pt")
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("path/to/video.mp4")

gym_object = ai_gym.AIGym()  # init AI GYM module
gym_object.set_args(line_thickness=2, view_img=True, pose_type="pushup", kpts_to_check=[6, 8, 10])

frame_count = 0
while cap.isOpened():
    success, frame = cap.read()
    if not success: exit(0)
    frame_count += 1
    results = model.predict(frame, verbose=False)
    gym_object.start_counting(frame, results, frame_count)
```

???+ tip "Support"

    "pushup", "pullup" and "abworkout" supported
