Runtastic Push Ups Trainer app review: reach your goals with your very own push-up trainer

Introduction

Being able to perform a reasonable number of push-ups is a great metric of one’s physical strength and fitness in general, so look no further than Runtastic Push Ups Trainer for your one-stop resource that will help you achieve your goals far more easily than you ever imagined possible.

The best iPhone apps for running

The developer runtastic does a great job of putting together some themed apps within the Health & Fitness genre of the App Store, and this one is certainly no exception!

Push It!

When you first start using this app you’ll need to sign up for the runtastic service if you don’t already have an account. You’ll be pleased to know that you can do this by using either your Facebook account or email address; however, you will still need to input a little bit of information to complete the registration process.

The best abdominal workout apps for iPad

I was asked to provide my date of birth, body weight, and height, before choosing my level of fitness based on how many push-ups I can currently perform.

Once you’re all set up you’ll be greeted by an awesome looking interface which shows your available workouts, and enables you to jump straight into a workout by hitting the Start Training button at the bottom of the screen.

Expertly Structured Workouts

This app works on the basis of you placing your iPhone on the floor and positioning yourself so that your face or body comes close to the screen at the bottom of each push-up you perform. Alternatively, you can make a point of touching the screen with your nose and I think this is a good idea because it will really teach you to use strict form and not cheat by performing half repetitions!

The best crossfit apps for iPad

I really like the audio coaching which features in each workout, and the workouts have clearly been structured in a very intelligent way to help you ease gently into doing more and more push-ups over time.

This is a great app and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who just getting started or people who want to work on their upper body strength and endurance.
