How do I use the iPhone in the gym

For a while I was trying to go to the gym with a notebook. In it, I recorded the current training program, the achievements made approaches, repetition and weight. Notebook in the gym - really irreplaceable thing, if there is a goal to achieve any significant results.

However, only a month later, I realized what a fool I was. In fact, besides the notebook I always carried with him into the hall and the iPhone and do not know how the idea that instead of a notebook, you can use it to reach me for so long. Now iPhone - this is my indispensable companion in the gym and I'll tell you how it is helping me.

Notebook

First of all, iPhone Notepad replacement. Applications for journaling exercises allow you to make the right information faster and more convenient than conventional notebooks. I tried really a lot of options and could not find anything better than Jefit.

This is a super cool app that allows you to record information on approaches and lifted weights, leads training statistics, and even describes the technique of a particular exercise, if you suddenly forget how it should be do.

The training program

Quite a long time I make the training program itself. Perhaps it would be better to take the help of professional trainers, but I think I learned to feel my body and I know what I need. training program as I am in Jefit.

Besides the fact that it can make its own program, the site can find a lot of ready-made programs, and sorted by rating. However, I would not recommend using them if you have no idea about how to correctly do the exercises, what muscle group they develop and has no idea about the features of their body.

Timer

For interval training and exercises are not performed on the number of times, but at the time I use a timer. Until recently, I used a standard stopwatch, but once found Pacer, I decided to go for it. This is a simple and free (for now), a stopwatch and a timer, which is controlled by swipe.

Its functionality is more than enough. In fact, even a standard stopwatch enough for almost everyone. But, if you want to try something new, the Pacer - a great choice!

Music

It is difficult to come up with something new, but when I do cardio, music is very helpful. Standard music application, I do not use, because I prefer service google Music.

From unusual: I can recommend the application TrailMixWhich adjusts the speed of the music under the tempo run. It really works and run to the beat of the music is very cool!

conclusion

I do not know where else to push iPhone during training. Read again the written text, I just realized how much I depend on the iPhone. However, as long as it is easy and does not complicate my training, I'll use it.

Do you take your smartphone with you to the gym? And how do you use it?
