Do no cheat with this app. If you can only do ten push ups then put that. Do no put 30 if you can only do 20 or 25 it will only hinder your progress instead of quickening your improvement in push ups. It is good. When I could only do 20 I was at 40 push ups in about 3 weeks. Its not miracle work, just consistency and persistance.
The app is great I've managed to hit my goal of 50 pushups each set when I started at barley 20.. only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is it needs a progression chart so you can see how many YOU did each day of workouts so you can see how much you progressed but overall good app for beginners
Though I like the idea of this app it does has it flows. I set my goal at 100 though I did get stronger. The progress needs to be more accurate. It needs a unable to complete session button. To.adjust your performance for the next session. I was at a specific point when I was unable to complete all sets. I had to stop but to finish program I had to keep pressing done button to forward to the end. So I had to input was easy, difficult or just right. No unable to complete would be a good Choice.
I had an issue with the app as I had enabled "Force GPU acceleration" in my developer options on my Galaxy Nexus. I wrote the developer and he responded in about 5 minutes. Since he said on his Nexus it worked I then remembered my setting change and was able to resolve the issue. I am very impressed and appreciative of the rapid response and the app appears to work and I am looking forward to using it to help me with my exercise plan. :-)
Been using this lately to help me build up my push up strength so I can prepare for the army. It's great and simple and has worked flawlessly. I also have the sit ups and squats one but I wish their was just one app that combines all of these together. Not a big deal though.
Good app, I like the layout of the program and the user interface. I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I did not get the results that I was working towards. My goal was 100 push ups. I was able to do 49 before I started the program and after about 3 weeks worth of sessions the program had me doing about 250 push ups spread out over multiple sets and it said I should now be able to do 100 consecutive push ups. After taking a day of rest, I attempted my goal of 100 and was only able to do 58.
I like how the app is user friendly and quite easy. But there are certain issues with the app and also the training program. The app terminates itself a lot of times, which is quite annoying as I have to restart the whole sets again (or restart the app and reach to the set I was doing). Also after I finished the 10 sessions for doing 100 continuous push ups, I could only do 60 in a row. (I could anyways do 40 continuous easily when I started, so it did not help me much)
I have been using this app in combination with a regular exercise routine. But I've gone from doing barely 20 pushups to 80 within a month and a half. I'm not done with the program but so far I can't argue with the progress. Hopefully I hit my 100 mark but even if I don't I have made a solid increase in my repititions. It's a great app and I advise anyone who wants to increase how many pushups they do to give this app a shot.
I had thought would be something that would prompt me every so often during the day to do a certain set of pushups. Instead, it was something that paused for a certain amount of time after I complete a set amount of pushups, then prompting me to do more. I am glad that I got it, as this is the first time I have a set regimen for doing pushups. However I wish you would have said in the description that I would have to set aside a certain amount of time. All in all, very satisfied.
some plan is better than none, but the logic in this apps approach is flawed. it makes no sense to push the user to do their max they're able, and then immediately offer them to try to do the first days set. when i pushed myself to do the max i could not even attempt the first part of the set. if this was not intended expectation on the apps end then this is poorly executed. no other app i tried expected this. it should have been explicit in whether the user should take a day break or when to attempt the first day.
I set my goal as doing 125 push ups continuously, I've finished the course now but I can only do 70 push ups continuously. I can feel that I'm stronger now though. I will carry on the keep your strength mode and see if I can do 100 push ups continuously after one weak time.
does what it says, not sure if you reach the target 100% of the times but it certainly increases your chances. the option to disable the adds is a nice gesture from the developers, i kept the adds on just because they give me the choice, i think it's a fair deal, for a free app it would be nice to have a graphic progress bar, with dates and times, number of pushups, etc. overall an excellent app
I normally do not like to do bodyweight exercises buy using this app helps me get it done because I don't think about it until the whistle, then I just knock them out. And seeing the progress motivates me to keep going. I would never think of doing 100 push ups every other morning, let alone 200 or even 300. I do wish it didn't go into maintenance mode after you 'reach your goal'. I still cannot do 100 consecutive pushup but the app won't make the workout harder anymore. I wish it kept going.
This is a great app. I have begin using it in parrallel with the squat app. Press ups, then squats, repeat. If I had a pull up bar id throw that in too. Really gets you going and each day it ups the reps so always remains challenging. Like others have said, be honest with the amount of press ups you can initially do and you will be rewarded with a smooth progression upwards. Good job guys.
I've seen an improvement in my push ups over the past two weeks, But the schedule is too difficult. It became apparent that this is basically on a 30 day schedule which is unreasonable. I could do 35 push-ups and I chose 125 cuz why not grow the furthest. I'm two weeks in and its expecting too much. My advice to the developer is to make a reasonable schedule. Use percentage increases each day of 10% more today than yesterday. To the downloader, start lower and build. If you can do 30, do a 50 schedule first
One thing I can say about this app is that you will INDEED improve. I didn't get to 125 push up in a row but I went from 40 push ups to 91 push ups in a row and it did tone my chest up a bit, Im going to do another round of it so next time I will complete 125 in a row maybe even more then that!
This app set the pace too fast. I told it I wanted to do 50 push ups in a row eventually and I could honestly only manage five. At first it does ok but then it takes off like a rocket and I can't keep up. I dropped out at 12 in a row not from quitting but because I literally couldn't go anymore. Telling the app the prescribed set was too hard only makes it slow down but not stop. If I cant do 12 today why should I try to do 13 the next time?! Lol.
With this app I was able to enhance my performance way up. Before I started to use this app, I was able to do only 25 push ups. Now I'm training for 100 continuous mode. I'm able to do 70 push ups in one go. Now, don't expect to achieve goal in just one workout series (completion of one training program). Success is very dependent on your current level of fitness, but in a long run, you will achieve great results. My rating: 5 stars. I also use other workout apps and they are very good as well.
I started using this app two months ago. I still remember how tough it was for me to even complete 10 pushup... But after a months 20 pushup in a row seems so easy for me that I can't even feel any effort doing it..... If you have dedication then just hit the install button and see the difference.
Just a small suggestion: Can you add a field of date also, so that the person might also come to know the spam since when je is following this. A beautiful application for everyone, gives a good start for the whole day.
I've done far more press-ups with this app than I would have without it. But after taking a break from press-ups for a few weeks, I'm now struggling, and even when I tell the app the workout was too hard, it just make me repeat the same workout the next day, rather than making it easier. It's not very motivating.
I am always able to get my self back in shape when ever I left my self go ..this app is simple and to the point it mixes the amount in the sets you do and your body never get used to that ...like another user said don't cheat your self put what ever you can do and follow the progress
Ok, I finished the entire program after following it 100% (209 pushups in a session) App told me I should now be able to complete 100 in a row, but I cant do much more than 40. This app has misled me. I feel betrayed.
Good app for increasing your endurance of push ups, but has lack of information when it comes to view logs for past days. The only information you get is date and total amount of push ups. Would be nice with a progress graph for each day and be able to view number of push ups for each set for past days.
The app is a good starting point if you're looking to increase your rep count but I don't understand how they say I should now be able to complete 125 pushups in a row after having completed the program. I can only reach 45 at best in a row and I have no problems with the hardest level they throw at me.
