I have been addicted to it for a few days now, and of course I have tried to find some great and free workout apps with it.
The first set of apps I found is very cool. Look for 'Daily Cardio Workout' app, as well as 'Daily Ab Workout', 'Daily Leg Workout' (there is also a daily arm and butt workout). Here are the logos of the apps:
Look for these logos! |
The workouts (let's take the example of the cardio app) consist of 10 rounds of 30-1minute exercises. Butt kickers, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, step ups... you name it! There is barely no pause in between the exercises, so you just go through 5-10 minutes of high cardio/abs/leg exercises, etc.
You can do the workouts anywhere; the ones I used did not require any accessories whatsoever.
The cardio app is pretty intense. There are lots of jumping/fast-pace cardio exercises, so if you have back/knee/ankle issues, please consult a physician before trying it.
The ab app is pretty killer as well! I only do the 5 minute version and by the time I am done my abs are a burning hell.
The great thing about combining the cardio and the ab app is that both workouts engage the core a lot so if you are looking to have stronger core muscles these are perfect workouts!
Here is picture of how the app works. Just do what the fit lady does ;)
Here are a few suggestions of complete 30 minutes workouts you can do by combining the apps.
Don't forget to warm-up and stretch!
Here is the workout I did this morning with them: (Cardio/Abs)
Cardio app (10 minute version) > I was sweating a lot.
Ab app (5 minute version) > Use a mat if necessary; I was cringing a lot.
Cardio app again (5 minute version)
Then 10 minutes of yoga (I will talk about the yoga app in my next post).
TA-DA ! That's 30 minutes of a complete cardio/strength workout right there.
Complete body workout:
Cardio app (10 minutes)
Ab app (5 minutes)
Arm app (5 minutes)
Leg app (5 minutes)
Butt app (5 minutes)
Upper body toning workout:
Cardio App (10 minutes)
Arm app (10 minutes)
Ab app (10 minutes)
Lower body toning workout:
Cardio App (10 minutes)
Legg app (10 minutes)
Butt app (10 minutes)
So.. yeah you get the point, do some mix and match; be creative. If you haven't worked out in a while, don't be afraid to take breaks. It is pretty intense (at least for me!).
