I was introduced to the typesetting system typst while in the middle of restructuring my workout.
In poking around in the documentation after reading their really nice tutorial, I realized that the way that typst uses includes to pull from external files might be perfect for selecting exercises from a collection of pre-written explainers, quickly creating a guide that I can follow, whether I've done a particular exercise recently or not.
While it took some time to write instructions to myself for my various exercises, early experiments clearly proved that if typst isn't the perfect tool for this task, it is certainly an adequate one, and the task itself is proving to be a worthwhile endeavor.
My first workout using one of these printed guides occurred on 2025-11-28, and immediately proved to serve the purpose, with a very minimal amount of actual typesetting rules in place and with some of the exercises really just stubbed in.
I am recording the workout PDFs to log my changing workouts thru time, here.
I've made the whole project available in a git repo on codeberg, for anyone to look at, or use as a jump off point for their own exploration in a similar project.
NOTE: These are personal notes, with just enough instruction to guide someone already familiar with the exercises. These are not instructional texts. They do reference instructions in various forms, some of which are openly available online. But they are not intended to teach anything themselves.
