Happy Tuesday, lovelies :)
Did you survive Monday? I felt like I barely did at first!
Not gonna lie...I didn't really like working in the office all day.
But hey, I got to hang out with Adam afterwards since I had NO HOMEWORK.
Yeah, saying that never gets old ;)
.
Today I want to talk to you about a fitness app that
I downloaded on my iPhone last week. It's called Nike Training Club.
I'm pretty sure Android users can download it, too.
And guess what the best part is....
are you ready?!
IT'S FREE!
So go download it...right now!
I'm always looking for new exercises that are short but still intense.
I hate doing the same workout routines for more than a few weeks,
because I feel like my body gets used to them and I don't benefit from them
as much as I could from a workout that I've never done before.
I also hate workouts that take up an hour or more of my time.
I want to give my all for a short time and burn the calories quick!

I haven't explored the app in depth yet, but I've used the "Get Focused"
section from the second screen shot. It is a list of 15-minute workouts
that focus on certain areas of your body. I did "Core Crunch" yesterday
and HOLY SORE ABS. But that just means that it's working right?! ;)
I've revamped my workout routine so that I'm focusing on
certain parts of my body on certain days of the week. I'll be sharing
that in the coming weeks!
The app has a timer that tells you when you to move on to the next
exercise. It also motivates you throughout the routine to keep going, and
gives you tips on keeping good form for the exercise that you are performing.
There is a timer that counts down the entire workout & a separate timer that counts
down the current exercise that you are doing.
Something that really comes in handy is the fact that each exercise is
photographed step by step. You also have the option of viewing a
demo video of the exercise and it will pause the workout for you
while you watch the video.
AND you can even choose a playlist that you have on your phone
to play throughout the duration of your workout. When you pause the workout,
the music will pause, too!
Apparently for each workout that you complete you earn "rewards"
which you can redeem for exclusive celebrity workout routines.
I haven't made it that far yet, but I can't wait until I do.
The four categories are:
"Get Lean"
High interval cardio drills to slim down
"Get Toned"
Light weights and intervals to add definition
"Get Strong"
Increased weights and reps to build strength
"Get Focused"
15-minute workouts to target specific areas
I'm stoked to explore this app and see what else it's capable of!
.
The last thing I want to mention is that I received my coffee mug from
the swap over at Suzels Says!
CAN I GET AN AMEN?! ;)
thanks for the heads up! I've been looking for a new work out routine/motivation! You're the best!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday and keep enjoying your lack of homework girl! ;)

Thanks for sharing that app. I'm going right now to download it!!!! However, I think I should just move there and we can workout together every day. Deal? Happy Tuesday and I'm so glad that you loved your mug. I did my research. :). Thanks to pinterest!
ReplyDeletei use that app all the time!!! I love it!! and I love that I can do it while watching tv and the workouts are really challenging and there are so many of them!!
ReplyDeleteI will def have to check that app out! LOVE your mug!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a super cool app. The hubby is now getting back into working out. I'll show this to him. :-)
ReplyDeletePerfect mug! I'm doing a package pal thing right now too! Can't wait to get mine lol
See you soon ;-)
Thanks for posting this! I had that app in my phone, but I never actually bothered to open it. I eventually deleted it because I thought I'd never use it, BUT since you rock at fitness and you're a fan, maybe I'll give it another try!
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome day!
This is awesome girl!! I am downloading this today!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps for future posts you could research and see if there is anything similar to this with Yoga? I find it really hard to find a good Yoga video for at home..they are either too easy, or too long..maybe you know of something else??
I can't wait to get my mug either!!
Have a great day!!

I've had the NTC for a while and I LOVE it! I need that person talking to me to keep me going.. and the workouts are legit! My husband has done a few with me, and we both get a workout when we're done.
