The slides contain three links. this helps with navigating on the page and displays a list of exercises. The Beginner button will display a list of beginner exercises.
Advanced will display an advanced list.
If you cannot choose from the list, there is a random link. It will ask you what level you are at(Beginner or Advanced), and when you click on the level it will assign you an exercise at your chosen level.
Once you have chosen or been assigned at random the exercise list will appear.
It is displayed in a list where the first exercise appears at the top. Some of the routines have a time limit and others are for time(how fast can you perform the routine) We provided a stopwatch to keep time. It was placed under the list so you can keep track of the time and what exercise to perform next

- When first testing the website the stopwatch had a bug. When the start button was pressed the stopwatch started and when pressed again it would start again . I changed the code to add a "pass" if the values of the minutes or seconds were greater than zero.
- The website was tested on and Iphone SE , 8 ,with Google Chrome , Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari and on an Ipad. The website worked as expected.
- The links was tested on every button and the stopwatch was run to make sure it displays the correct time. The exercises work on "For time ", how fast the exercise can be performed or a time limit eg. 20 min , so there was no need for hour on the stopwatch.
- When testing the hover effect on the slide links the text would not change unless you hovered over the text. I added a anchor element inside a button. It was fixed by removing the button element in the HTML.
The website was tested with Lighthouse for accessibility, performance, best practice and search engine optimization and high scores were achieved in all catagories.
There are no unfixed bugs
