Nike Training Club

I know!!!!  I have been terrible about posting lately!  Sorry!  And I haven't posted anything about working out in a long time, too!!!  But, today I am so excited about this app that I found and HAD to share it with y'all!
It's the Nike Training Club app.  If you have an iPhone or Android, download it.  Like, right now!!!  You will not be disappointed!

First, you go on and choose your goal.  I was just playing around to see what the programs were like, so I chose the first one, "Get Lean".  

 Then it will ask you if you are beginner, intermediate, advanced.  Again, I chose beginner just to see what it was like.  Then it gives you a four week program to download.  And you begin.  This was the first workout of the program for a beginner who wants to lose weight.  If you look under the big "30" you see  "Progress this week".  That shows you that you have 5 workouts in this program and two of them are just running.  Those days are three miles.  Nice!

This is where you download the workout.  You can customize it and set the music.  When you go into customize you can change things like instead of doing burpees they'll offer froggers, and squat holds instead of squat jumps.  So you can customize it with exercises that might be easier for you. 

I did this Sweat and Shape workout with no customizing and it was great!  I worked up a sweat, though I wasn't dripping, and it got my hear rate up.  I'm almost positive that I burned more then 89 calories doing it, too.  But, I wasn't wearing a monitor or anything to know for sure.  The next day I ran the three miles and then the next day I got hit with the flu. Ick.  So, I will be back at it today doing the 45 minute workout!  I'm excited about it!  I love that you can set your own music.  Oh!  And I almost forgot to mention that with every exercise there is a little video tab you can press if you need to see an example before you try it!  It is interval training, so you get 30 second recoveries every once in a while.  Try it out!  Let me know what you think!  I think I am in love!!!!!  And the great thing is, you can take it with you!  It's on your phone, so no DVD player, laptop or anything else required!  Seriously!  Let me know what y'all think!!!
