In an attempt to snap out of my workout funk, I finally tried something that I've been wanting to do for awhile... Enter Nike Training Club.
Have you all seen/used this? I downloaded it to my phone about 3 months ago but never got around to using it. We got an iPad about a month ago and I once again dowloaded it (it's free, I very rarely pay for apps) but hadn't used it. Well last night I decided to change that, and let me just tell you... It kicked my trash.
So first you pick what your goal for the workout is. You can choose from lean, toned, strong, or focused. Then you choose a level:
I chose lean, beginner, then hit start. Then the trainer proceeded to take me through an awesome 30 minute workout. The workout included my two most hated moves (burpees and mountain climbers) but it had lots of things I hadn't tried before. If it pops up something that you don't know, you just pause it, and watch the video. It shows you exactly what you need to be doing.
Honestly it worked me harder than several personal trainer sessions I've paid for in the past. And I am so freaking sore today. I will definitely be using this gem more often. Plus it gives you rewards as you accumulate minutes and I love silly rewards.
Okay second thing, I wore my
Go Girl Vortex shirt for this workout. The shirt is super comfortable, and I was surprised but it's actually see through in some parts.
I think I will appreciate this venting come summer time heat wave. It's a great workout shirt. It fits well and I LOVE the fabric. Of course it rode up while I was doing mountain climbers, which is annoying, but I have yet to find a shirt that doesn't (so it just goes back to how MC's are stupid in the first place). I think the design is awesome and really love the logo on the back.
You're welcome for the high quality pics as always. And turns out I didn't need to shower to show you the shirt!
Okay I just got an iphone last week and got that app too!! I've had it on my ipad but I've been a bit hesitant to bring my ipad to the gym. Now I have no excuses! There is a room that is always empty at my gym so I can set up and rock to NTC all by myself! I'm glad you tried it...now I know for sure that I'm won't be wasting my time! I love new workouts.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about this app but I'll check it out. Like the shirt!
ReplyDeleteI am so bad about sticking to any training thing, I tend to just do whatever comes to me for strength workouts. But this looks cool because I could actually take it on the road with me.
ReplyDeleteHope it helps with the motivation!
I've heard of NTC before but, I don't have an Iphone. Sounds like it's a good workout! I love your shirt too by the way. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting app for your phone, I might have to check that out.
ReplyDeleteAND btw I LOVE your bathroom!
Glad you like the shirt! I ordered the tank to match my skirt and I love it. It has the see through mesh on it too and I think I will love it when it is hot out. I haven't worn it yet to work out in yet.
ReplyDeletei LOOOVE NTC app, but i don't like strength training, so i don't use it nearly enough. i need to get my butt in gear with the strength!!
