Day Two of my New Year's Resolution to workout more using weights and I am already LOVING the Daily Workouts Free app.
This app provides you will a full body workout including cardio, upper, lower and core strength exercises. Each exercise lasts a minute. You can choose how long your workout will be, from 10 minutes up to 30 minutes. For example, if you choose a 20 minute workout, you will get 20 exercises. Every workout is different.
In the right hand corner it will tell you how many exercises you have left. On the left hand corner it shows how much longer you have to go for that exercise. There is a pause button at the top, if you need to stop and answer the phone or get a drink, or chase a baby.
Every exercise is announced and there is a video of a person doing the exercise. I like this because you can compare your form to theirs and make sure you are doing it correctly.
You will need two different sets of weights, one lighter and one at least medium, a chair for step ups, and I found a workout mat to be more comfortable than the hard floor (thanks Penny).
If you buy the Full Version of this app for $3.99, it will provide even more exercises and also let you focus specifically on one area at a time, such as upper, lower, core or you can even make your own custom workout. I am seriously thinking about buying it.
This is a great app for getting in shape. I like it because you can choose your workout time frame, and every workout will be different. This way if I have a few minutes in the afternoon I can add another 10 minute workout to my day and have it be different from my morning workout. Absolute genius! I wish I had thought of it! ;)
I actually really like this new little abs workout app - ABSessions. It's different from all others in that there is a continuous voiceover by a trainer for every exercise. It's like having a coach standing right next to you. Plus, you can play it to your own iTunes music. Pretty cool. The word about it is slowly spreading, so check it out! absessionsapp.com
