Review: Nike Training App

The Nike Training App is GOLD, especially for anyone who doesn't know what exercises to do for certain areas!

So when you first open the app it asks you whether you want to "Get Workout" or "Quick Start", now you can only choose Quick Start once you've have already done a workout previously as it saves that work out.. From here you can choose what your goal is from; Get Lean, Get Toned, Get Strong and Get Focused and then you choose your level (Beginner, intermediate or advanced).. 
Next it gives you a bunch of options for you to choose from as your exercise routine ranging from 30mins to 45mins and at the top of each routine it tells you what equipment you need.. 

I loved all the goal options! Get Lean is designed to slim you down using cardio exercise, Get Toned will add definition, Get Strong.. well i think you know! and Get Focused is 15 minute workouts to target specific areas (eg Better Butt!!). During my trial with the app I would do 30mins running/cardio then Get Lean day 1, 3 and 5, Get Toned day 2 and 6 with extra Get Focused for the areas I wanted to work out and Get Strong day 4. 

Before the routines you can set music for you to listen to.. Once you start the routine there is a voice over that guides you through each exercise, tells you when to start and when to stop and gives you motivation and understanding of what the exercise is doing for you.
There are also videos that you can watch to understand how to do the exercises as well as images to guide you. You can pause the routine, change the music and end the workout at any time. They also allow recover time within the 30-45mins they give you for the routine.

Now if you are reluctant to buy any equipment then there are still many workouts that you can choose but it does limit you in this app to how many different routines you can do. You could also use this app if you're at the gym but you would have to ensure you have the equipment you need before you start and that you have plenty of room to yourself.. I'd probably only suggest using it at your gym if you go at a quiet time as you do change from weights to cardio a lot.

I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who wanted some more guidance to their routines and a better understanding of how to complete exercises. Once you get the hang of the exercises you could easily just mix and match routines to suit your goals further. 

The next app I will be reviewing will be 200 situps.. Remembering I will also be doing my usual cardio everyday and legs/arm exercises (probably off the Nike Training App!) to ensure I'm targeting everything still!
