Weight-training has become a popular way of maintaining health and general wellbeing. However, many U.S. emergency departments have had an increase in injury incidences related to weight-training. We have designed an application, called Oli, which tracks a user's form and highlights injury causing movements. Oli assists users with weight-training by providing real-time feedback & analysis of lifts via utilization of frame by frame image processing. In this paper, we list our methods and the capabilities of our Kinect based system to process real time data and analyze form on particular weight-training movements.
