I'd like to find/create a script/service that does a few things that should be very do-able but seem to be a PIA.
1) Randomly throughout the work day (Service/script should run during some window or on some timer, i'm amenable to other triggers but this should be good enough) prompt user to do push-ups or sit-ups
- something along the lines of 'Lets do a set of push-ups!'
2) After some reasonable amount of time it should follow up and ask how many reps/sets were done.
- something along the lines of 'How many push-ups did you do?' -> '25'
3) the service/script should then store that data in some well defined google sheets (Different sheets per exercise, timeseries data)
4) there should be a visualization option where it charts the exercises by time series to show progress
there are many stretch goals that can be added if/when the basic infrastructure is worked out

What you’re describing is essentially a lightweight “habit tracker” with randomized prompts, automated logging, and integrated progress visualization. The simplest way to think about it is as a personal fitness micro-coach that lives on your computer. At its core, the script would act as a tracker by recording each exercise event (push-ups, sit-ups, etc.) along with the date, time, and count
