Once set up properly, this bot will send you a daily workout.

a word of caution

This project is very alpha, and will change very much in near future.

thank you

Currently, all thanks goes to my colleague Chris.

He asked me to help him finding a bug in his bot.

Without him, I would have never came up with the idea to play with the Telegram bot API.
