The Walking Goal Calculator is a web application designed to assist individuals in setting and achieving their walking goals. This user-friendly app offers personalized recommendations based on inputs such as measurement system, biological sex, height, weight, goal weight, and desired duration for weight loss or fitness improvement.
I developed this app as a side project while studying front-end development with React, and it has been a great way to apply what I learned in a practical setting.
