[Sportsandrec] iPhones and exercise ideas?

[Lisamaria Martinez, NOMC]

Hey All!

This is a great topic we're discussing. Just to ad my two cents worth...

I've discovered these awesome apps in the app store and have downloaded them 
and used them to exercise. I find them mostly accessible, and now that you 
can label buttons in apps on your iPhone, it has become a bit easier to use.

Anyways, the Lolo exercise apps are the ones I speak of. I've downloaded 
Easy Abs, Easy Legs and Treadmill something or other. I've been using the 
treadmill app to use my treadmill with some program. You simply set up your 
profile and set a length of time you want to run ande if you are running 
outside or on your treadmill. The program talks you through a workout 
encouraging you to suck in your abs, etc, etc. It starts with a warm up and 
takes you through different speeds and inclines. My last run which was day 
four of running took me through some killer intervals. It's really great and 
I need to get back on the treadmill and start running again. I've taken a 
few weeks off. Also, you can post your results on social media. It's kind of 
cool to get your friends to say how well you've done for running 3.5 miles 
and burning so many calories.

I haven't tried out easy legs but downloaded it because it claims to have 
audio described videos of each exercise. The great thing about easy legs and 
easy abs is they are supr short workouts of either 5, 8 or 10 minutes long. 
Anyone can get a 5 minute workout in during the day.

The apps are from 99 cents to 3.99 but totally worth it especially if you're 
looking for some easy ways to get fit without going to a gym or some way to 
interact with your treadmill that isn't just running your butt off and 
killing yourself.

Hope this helps anyone who is interested.
