Cher - Day 20 - NTC App Review!

Hello Followers -

Well this morning I completed a 15 minute workout on my NTC app for my IPhone.  This 15 min does not include warm up or cool down, and was wicked for fitting something in when you think you cannot.

I did Jodie Williams Fast Track Workout.  It incorporated Core, legs & Abs.  You could add on if you wanted more upper involved.

What I like about the NTC App:

• It shows you each move step by step in either photos or video.
• It cues you when to switch to the next exercise and when to switch sides
• It allows you to play your own music
• There is such a huge variety of workouts, for every level
• Lastly, you can unlock workouts to more you train, it's not the same thing all the time!

What I dislike about the App:

• They do not give you any transition time from exercise to exercise  -  what is means is I did 30 seconds of side plank then by the time I switch to the other side I only get 20 seconds.  I now switch a little early but wish I didn't have to think ahead like that!

So all in all - this is a GREAT app! I got mine for free, but I am not sure if everyone is still getting that awesome deal.  Even if they asked for $4.99, I would buy it.

Have a great Monday!  It's a new week, and a new you is coming out to play!

Yours in health,

Cher Day 2 - App Review - Nike Boom

Hello Bloggers & Followers!

Needless to say this morning I feel pretty good - soreness in certain areas, but nothing to complain too much about.  Today I get home and am going to do a workout before going to the movies - I want popcorn so bad - no butter?  I will have to see if Myfitnesspal will let me have it!

Have an awesome day - and stay the course - Woohoo Day 2!

So I recently tried a new app I wanted to tell you about. 

Nike Boom (by Nike Inc) is a workout app which encompases a Gymboss timer, coach, cheer team, and hot athletes into one.  I am guessing that they have designed this for men.... but that doesn't mean women can't use it!  Here are the options you get:

1. Workout - it will time a workout for you, cheer you on when you like (this is where the hot male athletes come in), and post your results to Facebook or Twitter (or both)

2.  Intervals - it will time an interval workout for you - whatever interval you set.  You are cued to your next interval with a ref wistle.

3. Get Sparq Rated - unless you are into sports I don't think you will get this, and I don't have time to look into it :P

4. Gear Up - gives you all of the lates Nike Gear info.  I totally want the Nike+ Fuelband !

My Review:

I prefer the Nike Training Club (NTC) App.  It gives me a workout to follow (there are cons to it too which I will share next week).  Nike Boom is simple and quick to get you going.  Trouble is that you have to design your own workouts.  I wouldn't use this running because I prefer my Nike + GPS.  I would use Nike Boom for my at home workouts where I know what I want to do and for how long.  Essentially it is an alternative for when I can't find my GymBoss.
