Applescript Automator workflow for kicking off your workout in one click

During the pandemic many had to set up a regular workout schedule at home to keep sane and sound. With automating the tabata interval training timer + workout playlist in one keyboard shortcut, those tiny actions become from pesky to perky :)

These bits of AppleScript code can be set in Automator. They work fine in MacOS Catalina >10.15.

start spotify workout playlist

opens Spotify and starts playing the playlist of choice.

open tabatatimer.com on Chrome

opens a new page on Chrome with the interval training site of choice (tabatatimer.com in this case), and starts the count down. This is the page on view.

open workout folder

optionally would open a folder up front to browse workout material

Enjoy!
