in Fitness and Exercise
I have a full time job and am in a full time night program at a local university, so I don't have a lot of free time. Over the holidays I got in some good running and yoga sessions, but my free time is quickly dwindling again. I typically leave the house at 7am and get home around 11pm during the week, and do 30 hours of homework every weekend. Not a lot of spare time!

I'd like to keep doing SOMETHING this semester though. Eating right is easy because I pre-prepare and take with me 2 or 3 meals each day, so it's easy to be healthy.

I'd ideally like to find iPad apps for exercise - 10-20 minute guided sessions for cardio, abs, arms and yoga. Cardio for the morning, abs and arms alternate mornings and yoga before bed.

Anybody have favorite apps that they love? I found a few free ones, but they seem to only have one workout, and variety would be nice.

    There are a lot of apps like 200 squats, there's a dips app, a push-up app. None are too time consuming.

    I have an app for my phone, Gym Buddy. You can enter exercises, group them into work outs, and off to the gym. You enter your weights and reps and it keeps track of that for you. Has a count down clock so you don't stand there cooling off too much. Graphs to see how you have been doing, etc. Lots more that I can use.

    I have an android, so I'm not sure if it's available for iPhone, but I use Skimble Workout Trainer. You can pick length of workout, what part you want to work on, or do full body, yoga, cardio etc....and they add new workouts all the time! I downloaded it the same time I did mfp, and they have both literally changed my life! I highly recommend checking it out!!
