Muscle Infernos: S.P.E.E.D. FITNESS APP for the iPhone and iPod.

S.P.E.E.D. App workout is a fitness challenge to develop your “S.P.E.E.D.” Your Strength, Power, Endurance and Energy Development with a Speed Component (as fast as possible). One component of S.P.E.E.D. without the other components is an incomplete picture in regards to fitness. Everyone usually has a favorite or a strength aspect to fitness, but no matter how great your strength, the question is how great is your weakness. You never know when you have to run, jump, duck or work for an extended period of time. Through this S.P.E.E.D. Fitness App, we hope to develop your overall S.P.E.E.D.

Take the time to work on all aspects of your fitness.

Strength: ability to exert a force against a resistance. The more weight you can move, the stronger you are. There are different kinds of strength: ability to exert a maximal amount of force one time, the ability to overcome a resistance with a fast contraction or the ability to apply force many times.

Power: ability to move a weight quickly. The faster you move a heavy object, the more powerful you are. Power is the rate of performing work and the product of strength and speed of movement. In sports, power is king.

Endurance: Ability or strength to continue or last against fatigue, stress or other conditions.

Energy: Capacity to perform at high or sustained levels over a length of time….ideally repeatedly and consistently at maximal levels.

Development: Increasing the different fitness levels through consistent and fundamental workouts.

SELECT FITNESS LEVEL:

Beginner: 3 to 5 Reps/15-30 Seconds Per Exercise
Intermediate: 5 to 15 Reps/30-45 Seconds Per Exercise
Advanced: 15 to 25 Reps/45-60 Seconds Per Exercise
Elite: 25+ Reps/60+ Seconds Per Exercise

TWO MODES OF TRAINING:
Please select from the two modes: Timed Trial or Focused Training

Both styles are randomly programed. Never do the same workout again. This app will automatically shuffle the order of the exercises to keep it fresh.

Timed Trial Mode:
Perform all the exercise cards with the correct form as fast as possible. After finishing an exercise, slide your finger across the screen to start the next one. Continue until you have completed all the exercises in the program.

Your goal is to finish all the exercises in the shortest period of time. There are different exercises and various SPEED Bump/Wild Exercises (exercises with different rep schemes) specific to each Challenge that focus on your strength, speed and endurance.

To intensify, add additional resistance through dumbbells, medicine balls or resistance bands. You may also, increase the number of reps and decrease the rest time to add difficulty. Select a resistance/rep scheme that will challenge the targeted muscles. You should feel an intense burning for the last 3-5 reps of each exercise, each set.

Look through the tutorial and become familiar with the exercises. Perform a few reps of the unfamiliar exercises and the more difficult ones. Begin when you are properly warmed up.

Flash focus:
Select the length of your workout. Perform each exercise as long as the exercise is shown. At the end of the time allotment, there will be a “Beep” sound and the next exercise will be shown. Certain exercises work one side of the body at a time. At the halfway point, switch sides. The duration of each exercise is dependent on the difficulty of that exercise and your fitness level. Use proper form and perform as many repetitions for the time allotted per card and finish as many cards as you can.

We will continue to add other innovative and effective workout challenges to inspire and motivate you. We will also add rehabiliative and preventative workouts to improve your quality of life. Check back and keep us updated with your fitness needs.

Pros and cons of S.P.E.E.D. Fitness App app for iPhone and iPad

S.P.E.E.D. Fitness App app good for

The tutorials and images of each exercise make it easy to follow. Perfect to use at home or even at the gym.
Very easy to follow. Just run through the tutorial to learn the exercises and go! The timed training is good since i dont have a lot of time to exercise
One of the things that I have a problem with is falling into a routine and hitting a plateau. With this app, there are so many great exercises that I can randomize it and break through those plateaus. Instructions and pictures are great, especially on the exercises I have never done before. This app is GREAT!
This app has a fresh set of exercises with a lot of variety. The workouts crazy! If you havent felt the burn recently, you will definitely feel it after going through this.
Most of these exercises are different from my normal routine and are very effective. I will be incorporating this into my workout. Especially the Plyometrics workout.
It is great app. Something different to any work. I like the sumo squat better. I just bought app, but I believe it will work magic.

Some bad moments

Pictures dont load so you dont know what you are doing unless you are familiar with the exercise name
Any exercise you choose basically costs $3.99. Not worth the time or money
Even though its a "free" app you have to pay for every workout. Not worth it
