HIIT • Workouts & Timer

So I downloaded this app a while back but was procrastinating with my fitness. Finally gave it a try and did the 15 minute beginners workout to burn 100 calories and boy can I tell you you def get a workout! It’s only 15 mins but you realize how out of shape you are lol you can def build up a sweat. It’s nice because there are rest breaks in between each set and you can also pause when needed. This is good to help build up stamina and prepare for the other workouts available through the app. Instead of wasting money on a gym membership I’d recommend trying this first and see how you feel. It’s nice because you can do these workouts anywhere you take your phone! You just have to stop being lazy and give it a try!

I love the fact that I can listen to my music and do my workout with just my phone and I don’t have to look at it. Just listen. So efficient! I am a fulltime mom and work fulltime! I love my family, and job and so that doesn’t make much time for quality workouts to take care of myself. I believe if you don’t use what you have, you’ll lose it and I am talking physical! I can’t stop my age, but I don’t have to feel my age! Great app!!!

I like that this exercise app is geared towards women and women’s bodies. I’ve been doing 4 & 7 min workouts for 8 years and I use this one the most. I used to use the one from The NY Times then the Johnson & Johnson app which I also really like the customizable aspect of it but I still feel like the exercises in the app target areas and have done more for strengthening my legs. I do wish it had the option of a warm up and cool down cycle.

I’ve heard about HIIT all over the internet and I’m just now getting to it. I saw this app and it’s rates were really well so I download it. I click on the first and simplest workout for only 4 minutes thinking it wasn’t that big of a deal WELL YOU ARE WRONG. I’ve never had such a simple workout make me gasp for air like I have asthma in my life. It’s simple but exhausting I think it’ll definitely get you the changes you need if you let it.

If you’re new to working out or coming back after a long time away, the rest periods are too short- I’m out of shape and was hoping the beginner workout would be appropriate since it was so short, but some of the breaks are only 5 or 10 seconds- not enough time for me to recover. I’ve done other HIIT programs and prefer 20-30 seconds so my heart rate actually has a chance to come down and I can catch my breath. Again- this is my opinion as an out of shape beginner, I bet this app is great if you’re already fit.
