Streaks Workout

This app is great, and keeps me motivated to workout every day to get as many streaks as possible. It uses body weight exercises for you to do at home and picks 6 random exercises for you to do that works out the entire body. It’s an organized and clean app that I’ve loved using so far. The only thing I wish this app had was a 30 second break between each workout so that I can get prepared for the next workout in line. There are times where I am on the floor doing crunches, and the next workout would be a standing workout, and then the workout following would be a sit-down exercise once again. There’s no break in between exercises so I have to pause the app to get ready and then start it again, which can be a bit frustrating when you’re trying to have a smooth workout. Especially when my body is sore, it takes me a moment to switch to the next workout because I have to move slowly from how much I’m hurting (a good hurt!). If there’s any way to add a function like this I would definitely use it! Otherwise, I love this app!

I like this app because it has relatively “short” workouts and motivates you to do it everyday. Having said that, I have quite a few problems with the app. First up, it lists the different workouts by the length of the time it’ll take. It would be much better to list the workouts by the amount of exercises you’ll do. The first time I used this app, I thought I could sneak in a 12 minute workout before going to work, and quickly realized that I wasn’t going to actually complete the workout within these 12 minutes. The workout actually takes me between 15 to 18 minutes to complete. Secondly, the app randomizes the sequence of exercises which, in some cases, is not good. For instance, I can’t do a 20 second plank followed by a 25 second plank. I also don’t like having to do situps followed by squats followed by situps...all this getting up and laying back down is frustrating. Lastly, for the exercises like planks and wall-sits, the app gives you about 2 seconds to get in position before it starts the countdown, and that’s just not enough time especially if the precious exercise had me in a completely different position. So, while the app is helpful in getting me moving everyday, it also frustrates me quite often.

It is actually kind of funny how this one little app motivates me to keep at it. Although I can never complete the Routines in the Recommended Time as indicated by the different workout tiers, the app never scolds me either saying "Hey Buddy, you're a little slow." For that, I am grateful! I do need to give a little warning to those wondering if this app is for you. It is definitely not scared to throw in a few rounds of "Burpees" just for the heck of it or ask the user to do multiple "Low Stance Jacks" in a row. There have been quite a few workouts where I complete a round of "Burpees" just so that the app can ask for another set of "Burpees" right after the other. At that point, I just stare back at the app and think to myself that "I need a breather before I tackle that one buddy." My recommendation is to ease into this app and make it a part of your daily exercise routine. Just be prepared to feel a little beat up afterwards once you get through a set or two.

Why can the world be this simple!!! I have a problem with myself when working out!! As in I get to distracted I have nooo structure!!! I to start workout, then play on my phone, think of thinks I could invent, wonder if I should ha e played baseball, get jealous of the guy next to me being ripped and why I can’t get that way! And by that time, 30min past and I’ve done 10reps of my first exercise!! I tried other apps but, man I just can’t STAND being charged monthly for everything and anything I need to help me be a better person or feel better about myself completing an activity!! Then here comes STREAKS! I set up my exercises and just gooooo!!!! It felt good to know that I cut down my workout from an 1hr workout 15min! And the best part, I just paid for it and it belongs to me!!! It’s all mine! No monthly plan no bothersome ads! Streaks Workout is literally saying “we giving you world on a plate, if this doesn’t help you then it ain’t the world, it’s YOU”!! Thanks guys I am a true fan!!!

After using this app a few months now, I can honestly say that it has made me a healthier, stronger person. Use it and the same will happen for you. I love that it documents every exercise I do so I can look back and pat myself on the back! I also love the faceless icons used. Makes it less like an annoying workout video. My wishlist for the developer: -MORE EXERCISES PLEASE!! As long as it’s customizable, why not add some more exercises? I wish I could work pull-ups into my daily workout. I’m sure others feel the same way about exercises that aren’t on there. I understand and appreciate the simplicity of not including any workout that requires equipment. But there are a lot of bodyweight exercises out there that use basic equipment. Why not add it? People who don’t have access to that equipment (or low hanging tree branches) can simply leave them out of their routine. -Please allow me to erase my progress. I was hoping to start 2018 with a clean slate so I could have specific goals for the year. I couldn’t do that, even after pressing the “erase all data” button. Unless I’m missing something. -Do a yoga app please! That faceless little guy beats any of the annoying yogis that you have to follow in the yoga apps! I’d buy it! Other than that, thanks for making a great app!
