Bodyweight Fitness 4+

This app is awesome and it walks you through reddit’s r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine. It also has videos of each exercise progress and provides workout tracking. My only requests, that are merely nice-to-haves, are for a 45 second rest option and a ~3 second delay between starting a timer for an exercise and the timer actually starting. It often takes me a few seconds after starting a timer to get into position and start the exercise, so the delay would be nice. Ultimately, fantastic app.

Easy to follow, versatile routine translated into a clear process by the app. This all appears to have been done in service if the Reddit community that is popularizing this workout, making it free to everyone.

If there’s room for improvement it’s by building in the necessary omissions for beginners. The written instructions on which this routine is based are clear that the pull-ups and dips portion should be omitted until you can do 3X8 diamond pushups and 3X8 horizontal rows. The same is true of omitting the handstand training until you can hold a straight arm plank for a minimum of 30 seconds. Perhaps there’s some way of ‘unlocking’ these once the necessary progressions have been reached.

Lastly, the bigger problem is how annoying it is to switch between exercises using the arrows. Millimeter accuracy is necessary and I often get frustrated with the app.

I love this app and have been using it for 8 months or so and it has been nothing but helpful in making me stay the course. There have been weeks and months where it felt like I wasn't making as much progress but but I consistently did it 3-5 times a week and basically with this app I've been able to accomplish a 1-2 second handstand. I started from a 8-10 second wall plank, so definitely progress and I definitely have a ways to go but I couldn't do it without this app.
