Home Workout - No Equipments 4+

Surprisingly good

Had zero expectations and figured for $50 why not try it since I’m in communist Canada and our gyms are shutdown it’s a great addition to dumbbell training

Yeah it’s nice but

It’s a decent app to use. But the thing is, at a certain point, the difficulty spikes up a lot. Some workouts they give you have exercises that depend on you having a lot of flexibility, furthermore these same exercises are very difficult to execute correctly, with the right posture and all. Granted, you have the ability to edit your workouts and replace exercises with others that fit the same category. Which brings me to the next point. This app encourages you to exercise everyday of the week, they don’t give you rest days at all, their 28x4 challenge is 28 workouts in 4 weeks, 1 each day. This is stupid!!! You need rest days or else your torn muscles won’t repair themselves and come back stronger!!! So there will be no gains if you follow exactly what they tell you to. Another thing, almost the entirety of people who will use this app will be beginners to exercising. That’s not so bad right? Well here’s the thing, when they open the app they put in their details and such, then they are asked what muscle group they want to work on. Once they choose they get their plan. But if you want to choose other ones you can’t, you can’t choose others. And if you want to, you have to wipe your data and start everything over, all the progress registered in the app will be gone and you’ll have to restart your entire program. One final thing, since this app will mostly be used by beginners, they will use this as their source of knowledge, their view of working out will be based off of their plan. The problem here is that the 28x4 program is a Bros split! The Bros Split is very inefficient and shouldn’t be put in practice. Instead you should practice a Push Pull Legs split. Why? Well in the Bros Split you have zero rest days, zero leg days and you work on one muscle group everyday. This means that you will exercise an upper body muscle group once per week. You don’t exercise your legs and you don’t get maximum gains due to lack of exposure. By which I mean you only exercise a particular muscle group once per week. But in the PPL split you practice push exercises, pushing exercises aren’t limited to a single muscle group it covers multiple muscle groups in a single session, then pull exercises which target all the muscles you exert when doing pulling motions and legs, which are pretty self explanatory. You do those exercises in order, push pull legs and then you have a rest day, then you repeat. This means you exercise multiple muscle groups TWICE per week. So for example, you’re on your push day, so you work your shoulders, triceps/arms and back, that’s 3-4 muscle groups in one day that you do twice a week instead of working on one muscle group individually each day. AND YOU DO IT TWICE!!! That’s why it’s bad to teach the beginners to do the Bros split instead of the PPL split. It’s a shame, there’s a lot of potential here. Hey this part here is an edit, firstly: thanks developers for listening to me and responding. Secondly I have some suggestions for you. It’d be amazing to be able to see the exercise example/model guy (the faceless guy who shows you how to do the exercise during your session) from different angles, like to be able to spin him around and see the exercise from different angles so that you have a better idea of where everything should be. And it’d be nice if the bug where if you leave during workout accidentally (say you turn off your phone or click out of the app) it resets the workout and you have to redo everything (or go back to where you were, but then your calories burned would show to be much lower and everything else). That’s about it, good luck.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback. We will take your suggestion seriously and try to make some improvement in this aspect. Best regards!
