# Exercise dataset

> Import and query exercise metadata from hasaneyldrm/exercises-dataset without bundling third-party media.

Arka can quickly cache exercise metadata from
[hasaneyldrm/exercises-dataset](https://github.com/hasaneyldrm/exercises-dataset)
for fitness demos, workout planners, local search, and prototype data flows.

```bash theme={null}
arka exercises import
arka exercises import --timeout 120
arka exercises status
arka exercises search "barbell chest"
arka exercises export --format csv --output exercises.csv
```

Natural language also routes to the same importer:

```bash theme={null}
arka quickly add exercise data from hasaneyldrm/exercises-dataset
arka search exercise dataset for body weight abs
```

## What is cached

The default import downloads `data/exercises.json` only and stores normalized
metadata under Arka's cache directory:

```text theme={null}
~/.cache/fish-agent/datasets/exercises-dataset/exercises.json
~/.cache/fish-agent/datasets/exercises-dataset/metadata.json
```

Records include exercise name, body part/category, equipment, target muscle,
secondary muscles, bilingual instructions, thumbnail path, and GIF path.

The upstream JSON is currently larger than 10 MB. If your network is slow, use
`--timeout` to give the import more time instead of retrying through chat.

## License and media note

The upstream README describes the dataset as educational / non-commercial only.
Images and GIF animations belong to their respective copyright holders. Arka
therefore caches metadata by default and does not bundle the dataset or media
inside the Arka package.

Verify upstream terms before using the data or media in a commercial product.
