# Gym Exercises

A video library of gym/fitness exercise demonstrations, originally packaged as HTML5-compatible assets (`exercises_html5_videos.tar`) for a workout-tracking web app. Each exercise is numbered by an ID and provided in up to three encodings for browser compatibility: `.mp4`, `.webm`, and `.ogv`.

**1,042 video files, ~2.3 GB**, split by performer gender and video resolution/size tier:

```
male/original/<id>.<ext>      # 298 files — full-size/original quality
male/small/<id>.<ext>         # 117 files — compressed "small" tier
male/very_small/<id>.<ext>    # 116 files — compressed "very small" tier
female/original/<id>.<ext>    # 299 files — full-size/original quality
female/small/<id>.<ext>       # 112 files — compressed "small" tier
female/very_small/<id>.<ext>  # 100 files — compressed "very small" tier
README_source.txt             # original README shipped inside the source archive
```

Filenames are numeric exercise IDs shared across the male/female and quality-tier folders (e.g. `1.mp4` in `male/original/`, `male/small/`, `male/very_small/`, `female/original/`, etc. are different encodings/qualities of the *same* exercise). A handful of files use descriptive names instead of numeric IDs (e.g. `Hi Leg press.mp4`, `Exercise Ball Squats.mp4`).

## License

**Private — all rights reserved.** This dataset is not released under an open license. It is shared publicly for visibility, but no reuse, redistribution, or derivative use is granted without the owner's explicit permission.

## Notes

- `original` files are noticeably larger (up to several MB) than the `small`/`very_small` tiers, which appear to be reduced-resolution re-encodes of the same clips for faster web loading.
- Source archive contained duplicate copies of the `male/original` files in a nested folder; those exact duplicates were removed during packaging.
