With Nike and Adidas coming out with fitness apps, it was only a matter of time before Reebok entered this territory with its own set of fitness application. Named Reebok Fitness, this app is available on the Android and iOS platforms. This app is both, a calendar and a workout schedule that helps users keep track of their daily fitness regime and analyze it for a better perspective. Unlike other sports and fitness apps this doesn’t merely track activities but creates a truly varied exercise program. Users can customize the ratios of multiple activities over a given period and manually shift the schedule.
Getting Started With the App
Once the app is launched the users are prompted to create a new fitness program. They can set the duration of the program anything between 6 and 12 weeks long. The fitness program needs to have at least two activities among Walking, Running, Dance, Yoga and Training. Some users might find these activities a bit restrictive as they have to choose at least two out of the fixed list. However it is a well designed and developed app for users who fail to maintain their own workout schedule.
Once you have selected the options the app generates a daily fitness routine for weeks ahead which can be accessed using an account in the app. On the home screen the users are show the schedule for the next seven days. This allows them to track their daily activities and judge the progress of their fitness program. Users will also have access to videos and workout schedules from fitness experts on the official website.
To work according to the fitness program users need to tap on the screen for the corresponding day and a detailed fitness program appears. You will get an overview of the workout where all the activities to be performed are explained in detail. For example when the app prompts you to run if gives you details of the pace at which you should run and the breathing and rest videos. Once you are done with the activity you will have to tap on the ‘Yes I am done’ button.
Highlighting Features
On the top right-hand corner of the screen you will have access to some interesting features. You can set a timer for your running and other activities. There is also an ‘Achievements’ where you get a brief sense of your achievements with the fitness program with measurable statistics. You can track your completion rate, the best and worst performance in the workout schedule etc. To market its products Reebok has also included a store finder in the app where you can spot a Reebok store on the map or search for one using the Zip Code or the name of the city.
All in all this is a good app to get started with a fitness program. One of the biggest downsides of the apps is its inability to measure any of the activities using a body tracking device as it solely depends on user fed data. It comes free and is definitely worth a try.
