Lots of things look easy at first glance. But try to do them well? Now that’s a bit more nuanced.
Consider the pushup: It looks simple enough. And it’s a great form of exercise that you can do anywhere, anytime. But you need proper form. 22 Pushups helps you focus on getting it right.
The app uses your iPhone’s proximity sensor to check whether every rep is chest-to-ground: Place your phone below your chest, descend all the way, and return. Only then does it count.
While you’re sweating it out, your virtual trainer will shout out encouragement, count off your correct pushups, and call you out if you start slacking.
Even cooler, the app records the whole process using your iPhone’s front camera. This way you get a form check and a close-up of you grinding them out. What could be more inspiring than your own sweaty “no pain, no gain” face?
