I had never used fitness apps till about three month ago. I have been a daily at the gym and had a go-to YouTube fitness channel for once I needed to train at house or on a trip. So I did not feel a need for a fitness app, especially the one I wanted to pay for (check right here to study more about me).

This January my husband has talked about to me a health app, 8fit workouts and meal planner (you could look here), that he needed to try. This app gives a daily train routine and a full every day menu based on your health degree and goals. At first, I was skeptical for a few reasons. I wasn’t in search of a structured program aimed at loosing weight or building a specific group of muscles. My health objective over the previous few years was to maintain my weight, stay fit, and gradually build strength as I explore completely different types of health activities. Secondly, I do not want somebody to inform me what to eat. I think I do know sufficient about healthy and nutritious meals, I like cooking and have sufficient ideas to maintain our meals diverse and healthy.

Nevertheless, it’s a proven fact that online training and vitamin programs and digital personal training sessions have been on the rise. More and more folks opt for a ‘virtual gym’ or a ‘virtual nutritionist’ in an effort to avoid wasting time and money. This really got me thinking. And a few week later my curiosity took over my reasoning. So I signed up for the app. And here is what my expertise with it has been so far.

For about $60 / year you get a each day exercise and meal plan. The program is created based on your weight, heights, current fitness stage (subjective) and health goals. Based on that you’re assigned one of the train degree: newbie, intermediate, advanced, knowledgeable, etc. You have got an option of adjusting the train stage to a harder or easier one.

One of many foremost premises of the app is that train needs to be efficient. You don’t need to exercise for an hour to burn 300 calories or build muscles. If you select the correct type of workouts, do them correctly (no dishonest!) and mix them with a tailored nutritious meal plan, you’ll be able to achieve the same health objectives with just 10-20 minutes of exercising a day. And subsequently, all exercises offered by the app are high depth 10 – 20 min lengthy routines. They’ve additionally began offering 15 – 25 min yoga routines for additional stretching and flexibility.

HOW I USE 8FIT

To be sincere, I only use the fitness a part of the app regularly. I do exercise routines offered by the app about 3 times a week on the days when I do not go to the gym. Since moving to San Francisco a number of weeks ago I’ve been using it a lot more as I haven’t joined the gym yet. This being said, I personally won’t use it as a replacement of a gym membership as I still enjoy fitness lessons very much. But it surely works well as an addition to my weekly routine.

As for the meal plan, I have not been using it on an everyday basis. I do have a look at the menu from time to time for inspiration and new ideas, however I do not observe it. If you happen to ask me why – similar reasons as above. I’m not searching for a structured meal program and I really feel like I do know sufficient by now about wholesome eating.

1. Convenience

You can do it anytime and anywhere. It is quick enough that you may all the time make time for it. And it does not require any equipment. It is handy to have a mat, but you possibly can easily go without it, as well. There are a couple of equipment objects used in the movies very hardly ever but they can be optional.

2. Helpful videos

The entire exercise routine is a sequence of timed videos that you simply follow. No have to guess tips on how to do every exercise.

3. Exercise intensity

As soon as I acquired to the extent that felt challenging enough for me, I really feel that I’m spending these 15-20 minutes productively.

4. Preview of the routine

Once you click on immediately’s routine, you’ll be able to see a list of workout routines and photos for each. So you can get an concept what to expect.

5. One less choice a day

I don’t need to decide which exercise to do in the present day, it is already determined for me! Ironically, it’s opposite with the meals, the place I truly wish to resolve for myself.

6. Warm up

The routine consists of the warm up as well. I find it very important. If I was told to just warm up by myself earlier than the train I’d typically bounce right into the exercises.
