Setting Up Your Notion Workout Plan: The Foundation

Alright, first things first. Before you start building your dream gym workout plan, you need to set up the foundation. This means creating the core databases that will hold all your information. We'll need a few key databases to make everything work seamlessly. Think of these as the building blocks of your workout empire. This step is super important for your gym workout plan!

1. The Exercise Database: This is the heart of your plan. This database is going to list all the exercises you do, from squats to bicep curls. Include properties like:

• Exercise Name: (Text property) The name of the exercise (e.g., “Barbell Squats”).
• Muscle Group: (Select property) The muscle group the exercise targets (e.g., “Legs,” “Chest,” “Back”).
• Equipment: (Select property) The equipment needed (e.g., “Barbell,” “Dumbbells,” “Bodyweight”).
• Video Link: (URL property) A link to a video demonstrating the exercise (super handy!).
• Notes: (Text property) Any specific notes or tips about the exercise.

2. The Workout Database: This database will store your actual workouts. Properties to include:

• Workout Name: (Text property) The name of the workout (e.g., “Leg Day,” “Chest and Triceps”).
• Date: (Date property) The date of the workout.
• Exercises: (Relation property) This is where the magic happens! Relate this to the Exercise database. This will allow you to add exercises to your workouts.
• Notes: (Text property) General notes about the workout (e.g., how you felt, any challenges).

3. The Sets and Reps Database: To take your gym workout plan to the next level, create a separate database for each set and rep. Properties to include:
