#P90X WORKOUT TRACKER HOW TO#
If you know how to complete the exercises for a particular workout, it is possible to do the entire set from the app. For example, you can see a graph of your increased ability to complete dive bomber push-ups (“under the fence, back under the fence” … and repeat) over the course of your first two weeks. Post workout, you can see your daily statistics for each exercise and compare with previous workouts. Everything Tony begs you to write down in the videos is included in the workout tracker, which guides you through the exercise routine. The Profile tab encourages progress by charting body measurements including weight, size (waist, hips, chest, arms, thighs) and BMI to ensure you are bulking up and dropping pounds, the workout tracker keeps information about individual exercises as well. You will recognize the categories and amounts from the p90x Nutrition Guide, which is provided with your workout DVD program. By selecting your level and phase number, the nutrition chart adjusts to the correct suggested nutrition amounts for your workout routine. The nutrition journal is an added benefit, providing a bar graph to chart daily intake. To start a workout, as mentioned prior, either “work out now,” “start a program,” or use the built-in calendar to individually schedule your own user-defined program. There are several ways to use the app as a guide to enhance the workout experience. Tabs are used on the bottom, but the top title bar previous and next tabs are absent. Moreover, the app navigation is not standard to other familiar apps. This design oversight will cause you to fall behind the DVD timed routine, while trying to scroll to the correct number.
For example, if you want to track how much weight you used for a particular repetition, the app utilizes a scrolling number dial instead of a numeric pad. The app is visually pleasing, but the design is frustrating. Opening straight to a menu selection page, the app allows users to start a complete program (from day 0-90) or to “work out now.” If you would prefer to pick and choose work outs or use the app intermittently, this is the best option however, if you prefer to use the app to completely track and schedule your entire 90 day program, choose “Start a Program.” The P90x app is built to accompany, if not completely mirror, the workout guide that drives the DVD based program. Having completed Tony Horton’s hell-inspired routine once, it would have been nice to use the Beachbody app to keep me motivated and organized with my workouts and nutrition.
Most likely, all of us need a little extra encouragement to keep slapping those P90x discs into the DVD player. Perhaps, you have started and already quit. Assuming you are like me, you have neglected to start a new-year workout routine.
