Couch to 26.2 app review: it’s time to get up and get fit!

Introduction

What we have here is a very high-quality iPhone and iPad app that has been designed to get you off of the couch and either on the road or the treadmill, reshaping your body and reforming your health and well-being for the long haul.

I really like the idea behind this app as it provides a nicely structured sequence of videos, among other things, that you can go through to learn all about how to train, how to recover, and generally how to get closer to your goals step by step.

A lot of similar apps in the Health & Fitness category of the App Store either provide too little or too much information, which I personally feel can be overwhelming if you’re a rank beginner, so Couch to 26.2 is an appealing balance that should appeal to many of you.
