The PumpUp App may possibly be one of the newest, yet fastest growing fitness coach and community in 2014.
With a name like Pump Up, you may picture this app to be solely for body builders however this simple and customizable fitness app, which was created in 2012, is equally friendly no matter where you are on your fitness journey.
With a rapidly growing community of inspiring people, Pump Up is the best way to get active, stay motivated, and see amazing results! With this app, you have the ability to upload pictures onto your mini feed of your custom workouts, progress photos, status updates, meals, etc. What a great idea, the creators had when they decided to include a fitness community to help users stay motivated between workouts, as I like to refer to Pump Up as an Instagram for pursuing a healthy lifestyle.
How Do You Begin?
When users first log in, they answer a few simple questions: What’s your training goal (lose weight, be healthy, or gain muscle)? What’s your fitness level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)? How long do you want to work out (15 to 90 minutes)? Which muscle groups do you want to work?
Pump Up then guides users through a quick warmup, followed by strength training and cardio exercises. Each timed move includes a brief explanation (for example, “Dumbell Squat: A seated row variation with more biceps emphasis while still building back musculature”) plus tips on how to perform the move safely, which are backed by strength and conditioning coaches.
Once a workout is complete, the app displays an estimated caloric burn and suggested weight increases for subsequent, plateau-busting workout.
I would highly recommend downloading the Pump Up App to motivate any individuals currently on a fitness journey.
