“I’m too busy.” “School and work leaves me with little (if any) time for leisure activities.” “Even if I went, I wouldn’t know what to do.” “There’s always tomorrow.”
These are just a few of a plethora of excuses that foil many peoples’ plans of going to the gym and being active. While it is true that many people have duties and responsibilities to adhere to, it is of vital importance to heed that if one does not make time for exercise and everything else that goes into a healthy lifestyle; he or she surely will have plenty of time to deal with the subsequent detrimental consequences that present themselves years down the road.
Fortunately, we have new developments that provide for a less morbid future in the health of Americans. One in particular that aims directly at people who constantly make excuses for not staying active such as the ones listed above is a relatively new innovation tabbed Gain Fitness. As a smartphone app, Gain Fitness is designed to revolutionize the way people work out by adding a crucial technological component.
The Gain Fitness app is, essentially, a personal trainer for individuals who may not able to make it to the gym often or afford a personal trainer if they do go. Instead of physically meeting with a personal trainer and being informed of the workouts for the day, the app contains a calendar that promptly alerts the participant of the dates, along with the accompanying workouts. There are three categories of fitness goals for one to choose from, including, health, fat loss, and muscle. Once that decision has been made, one subsequently selects their location – either from home, at the gym, or on the go – and length of the workout.
The next category on the app focuses on the particular muscle(s) one wants to pinpoint. One important feature the app advertises is its diversity in exercises. It adds that there are over 3,000 exercises to choose from, but even individuals who avidly go to the gym only repeat the same 5 or 6.
In addition to muscles being the focal point, the app also tailors to particular lifestyle, incorporating classic strength, yoga, sport-specific workouts, bodyweight training, as well as other customizable training options. The common denominator between each training pack is a set of real-life fitness professionals, guiding participants through each step of a workout.
Although the Gain Fitness app serves as a valuable tool in the fight against preventable diseases brought on by the lack of an active lifestyle, similar to the gym, it is only a resource. For effective results to occur, it takes a relentless commitment to maintaining the rigor of a healthy lifestyle.
