Do you have a personal instructor or coach? Whether in person or virtual, it’s such a luxury and well worth the unique personalized experience. My ever evolving travel and client schedule makes it challenging to train with my favorite dance, pilates and yoga teachers, but I can supplement some of the golden nuggets of wisdom with my iphone and Nike’s Training Club Application.
As a dancer, typical gym workouts bore me to tears. I’d rather be turning and flying across the floor! I work tirelessly to improve agility, speed, endurance and flexibility during morning barre, but I’m challenging myself over the next month to incorporate expert tips from Nike’s top personal trainers. The free app offers 90+ multi-dimensional and directional drills for strength, cardio, interval and core training. Just pick a goal/intention like get lean, toned, strong or focused and the app provides step by step written and video demonstrations.
Videos make all the difference on mobile devices. Retching your neck to read a magazine insert while you pulse lunges isn’t fun fitness! I’m not sure if you can plug your smart phone into your TV, but that’d be even better. I’m in the midst of coding my pilates video ipad application and know the significance of creating clear video and audio demonstrations. It’s the next best thing to expert eyes on your form and quality of movement.
I’m busting my butt testing the app for Nike over the next month and posting my experience every week for you. I already love how I can layer my music in with the workout! Want to take the challenge with me? I love social support and workout buddies as much as you do. This week I’m starting with interval training to push my heart muscle and lean up. What are your fitness goals?
Stay tuned next week to enter into an exciting Nike Training Club sweepstakes for a chance to win prizes towards your fitness goals!
