1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the system

Nowadays, people become interest in health more than ever. Not only the youth, but also elders spend more free time on exercise. Because of everybody realize that exercise makes you healthy and cure the disease. Moreover, fat people choose working out instead of using diabetic medicine because of disadvantages from using medicine such as yoyo effect.
BMI: Body Mass Index is ratio between the body weight and height. The value shows us how healthy we are. If the value less than 18.5, you are skinny. If the value is between 18.5 and 24.9, your weight is normal. If the value is between 25 and 29.9, you are overweight. If the value is between 30 and 39.9, you are obese. If the value is over 40, you are morbidly obese. The BMI value is well known for people who exercise frequently. In this project, we realize the importance of the health, so we create the program called “Mr.Fitness” which is the assistance for the people who love exercise to measure his/her BMI. It shows the right method for doing exercise. In additional, the interface is made for user to use comfortably because we show each exercise step-by-step.

1.2 Scope of the system Our program, Mr. Fitness, is for people who like exercise but don’t have much time to go to the fitness center, such as businessmen, students, workers, and so forth, those who don’t have enough time to look for healthy information. There are lots of exercise paradigms in this application with models which are represented in order. This program is very easy to follow the models and understand. Moreover, the program allows us to calculate how much we can lose the calories, and also recommend how to get the perfect shape. For the people who are really interested in this application and follow the recommendation, we believe that they can get their goals perfectly.

There are some exercises parts of the body are included in this application which are:
- arm training
- abs training
- shoulder training
- back training
- chest training
- leg training
- The calculation part of the body which is: BMI calculation
- The help part for the user to find where the fitness center is Fitness Finder

- The tips part that help the user to know the tips to have a good exercise by showing what should do in order.

- There is some information that tells about what food the user should eat to have a proper nutrient to the body.

This application is written by Java, so the user can use in any operating system. The first input is to select what the users want to do in this application: exercise, calculate BMI, find fitness center, and get some useful information about exercise and food. Then the output will be in a form of picture, map, and description of what the user want to know. The interface of this application is design to be very easy to understand and use.

1.3 Objective and success criteria of the project

Because of exercise can help people from preventing chronic health conditions to boosting confidence and self-esteem. The benefits are for everyone to take, regardless of age, sex or physical ability. Nowadays, many people are misunderstanding about the method of exercising. Therefore, this program will help to guild users about doing effective exercise. The objective is measurable in terms of the average users’ body mass, ratio of muscle compare with their weight which this program is trying to achieve. The objective is time-bound and should be completed roughly within one month time. By using this application, users can get a lot of advantages by the following:

Nowadays, there are plenty of people who are concerning about their health problems. The following topics are the part of these problems:

- People are lacking of knowledge about how to eat healthy food, how to maintain their weight to be in standard and how to change their eating behavior.
- Skip dinner because of misunderstanding that it can decrease the weight.
- Lack of important vitamins in each meal.
- Eat less than 3 meals per day.

People do many risky activities which can damage their health.

- Drinking alcohol.
- Having food which contains a lot of fat and carbohydrate such as oily food deep-fry.
- Smoking cigarette.
- Not enough sleeping.
- Never do exercise.
- Genetic.
- Heredity such as Diabetes, Obesity, Cancer, Heart disease and High blood pressure.
- Environment.
- Bad pollution.
- Loud Noise.
- Psychosomatic problem from the environment.

These problems are just only the part which can lead people to be unhealthy. We generally see these problems in many groups of people. As a result, people are prone to give more attention in their health problems. The easiest way is to have an exercise which can help people to have better physical and mental health.

2. Current System

At the present time, people become intend to interest in healthy more than ever. So, people look through valuable food for consuming, the way of choosing supplementary, and reduce the possible risk activities to provide the better health. Moreover, working out which is an easy way, but it would be effect to the health unaware.

Exercise is one of the benefit activities that effect for human health. Nowadays, there is abounding of fitness centers which lead to the foundation of many branches and receive a good feedback too. Otherwise, not only it effect to body health but also makes good benefit to mental health too. Moreover, training is an activity which relaxes from stretch such as yoga.

How to play fitness, we should have information about what is a correct and safety way to play. Because player is benighted and plays in the wrong way, it has damage to anatomy.

Thus, Mr. Fitness is a fitness program that is constructed in the first time and teaches how to play fitness in the accurate way. The data is separated by each part of human body such as arm, leg and hip. It can calculate amount of BMI and command food plan too.

3 Proposed System

3.1 Overview Mr. Fitness provides the user with efficient and convenient tool. Almost of the function and information and shown how to do exercise in correct way by using visual such as picture and map. For an example, when user click at the arm command which has hand icon and choose the activity it will show the step by using picture to present the method of this activity step by step. Moreover it includes the find fitness center function to help the user who interest in exercise activity. This part will support user to find the fitness center where near his/her place. For an example, user just choose the district that his/her resident location. The result is the program will show the nearest fitness center. In additional, there are 3 more functions which are Tips, Healthy food, and BMI calculator.
Healthy food and tip are program options that provide user to get information about tips of exercise activity and useful data to achieve the goal for user such as the best 5 cardio exercise activity and workout. Otherwise, BMI calculator is an option that calculates that amount of body mass in user body. With the simple user interface, the users will be able to know and understand how to use the program.

Nt1330 Unit 3 Assignment

...Configuration is a major implementation task in which business and functional settings in the ERP system are changed to make the “out of the box” software support the customer’s business needs. Configuration does not make any changes to the core software code, but instead updates tables with settings and entries specific to the customer’s business. Called configuration tables, these tables enable a company to tailor a particular aspect of the system to the way it chooses to do business. Project team members can use configuration tools to select alternatives through an easy to use GUI. These selections then behave like switches that tell the software to perform differently based on the values selected. For example, configuration may allow the company to specify: • Whether accounting for inventory should be based on LIFO or FIFO. • Whether the company wants to recognize revenue by geographical unit, product line, or distribution channel (or all three) • How many legal entities are reflected in the system • What the default currency will be. SAP has over 3,000 configuration tables and there are approximately 8,000 configuration decisions to make when implementing it. Navigating through them can be a formidable task. For example, when Dell Computers implemented SAP, the configurations alone took over a year to decide upon. As ERP software vendors attempt to gain market share, they continue to provide configuration options to address and increasing number of system requirements...

Donna Dubinsky and Apple Computers, Inc.

...find another Harvard MBA that wanted to work in customer service. Donna took advantage of every opportunity with to advance at Apple through her direct and hard-nosed style. Donna’s individual performance was impressive. She was able to deliver results and her groups performed well on key metrics. Apple was the perfect place for Donna since being a young company light on formality that underwent frequent reorganizations. Apple’s fast growth, loose organization, and corporate culture allowed Donna to make decisions “above her pay grade” and thus demonstrate her ability to perform at higher levels of responsibility. Place yourself in Dubinsky’s position. Why did she respond the way she did to the JIT proposal? Donna could never understand why the JIT proposal was even being discussed.
