Questions about the App

charlibets

Hi,

I just started the 10 week program using the app and I have a few questions.

I've done the first two work outs and I see the third automatically scheduled for the next day (today) and it's an exact repeat of the day 1 work out. Is that what I can expect from the app? Alternating between the two workouts presented for days 1 & 2?

What about the spacing of workouts throughout the week? I thought it was supposed to be 4 days per week...does the app just schedule them 4 days in a row unless I edit that myself?

Is there a core workout mixed in for the 10 week program?

Thanks for any feedback. I like the workout so far.

I'm only doing the beginners program currently, but it does the same 2 workouts for the first 2 weeks and then changes up. I'm guessing the other levels do the same.

I don't use the App scheduling, so I can't comment on that.

The app basically just has 40 days of workouts laid out. They're called Week 1 Day 1, Day 2, etc. but it doesn't meant you have to do them all in a row. Take the days off you need. It won't yell at you for that! (Heck, if you complete the program in 12 weeks, it's still valid. Don't stress it)

And yes, the first 2 weeks are basically 2 and a half workouts (I think 1 exercise is different between day 2 and day 4, but I can't recall perfectly) repeated 4 times. It gets more varied as you progress, though. Weeks 3 to 6 are going to be push/pull/legs/core, and 7 to 10 have a similar split + stappers which are the 5th day and are whole body.

The first 2 weeks are kind of boring, and if you push yourself for the whole time, hellish. It'll pay off, tho!

Thanks. A good pattern for me is 2 days weights (or in this case the ladders), one day core/cardio, repeat and then a day off, per week. I'm sure I can make it work like that. Thanks again.

Not that it matters how the app schedules you, but you can set it for whatever day and time you want. I mostly don't bother since it's just a reminder notification and I just clear it and ignore it if it's a rest day.

Also, you get more variety as you get further in.
