Intro
The video introduces the concept of ranking workout apps available on the Play Store. The presenter mentions that many apps promise quick results, such as six-packs in 30 days or burning belly fat, and aims to evaluate their actual usefulness. The presenter will try different apps and rank them based on specific criteria.
Criteria of Ranking Apps
The presenter outlines the criteria for ranking the workout apps. The first criterion is the user interface (UI), emphasizing that the app should be easy to use. The second criterion is the quality of the workouts and the amount of customization and personalization available. The third criterion is the app's ability to motivate users and provide educational content. The fourth criterion involves evaluating the diet and nutrition information provided by the app. The fifth criterion is the value of the free content and the intrusiveness of ads.
Home Workout App
The Home Workout App by Leap Fitness Group, which has 4.8 stars and 100 million downloads, is reviewed. The presenter notes that while the app's workouts are generally good, it lacks effective exercises for the back and biceps due to its focus on equipment-free workouts. The UI is beginner-friendly, and the app excels in butt workouts. However, it doesn't offer much in terms of motivation or education. The app receives a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars because of its easy-to-use UI and effective workouts, but it is penalized for lacking back and bicep exercises and fitness/diet information.
Six Pack in 30 Days
The Six Pack in 30 Days app is reviewed, with the presenter recalling that it was one of the first apps he used when starting his fitness journey. While the app does target the abs, the workout quality is deemed useless, with too many exercises. The app is simple to use and includes motivational music, with few ads. However, the workout quality is poor, and there is no nutritional advice. The app receives a final ranking of 1.5 stars, with the presenter noting that abs are made in the kitchen through diet, not through excessive ab workouts.
Fittr App
The Fittr app, created by Jitendra Chaudhary, is reviewed as a "Made in India" app. The app has many features useful for beginners, including AI support for diet and workout routines. It also has a unique feature where users can submit blood test reports for analysis. The app is useful for weight gain and fat loss, with calorie calculations for Indian foods. The community is strong and active, and users can access features like calculating daily calorie intake and body fat percentage for free. The app receives a rating of 4.5 stars, praised for being a strong and very good app for beginners, despite being potentially confusing due to its many features.
HealthifyMe App
The HealthifyMe app is reviewed, another "Made in India" app known for its advertisements. It is useful for calculating calories and has a large database of Indian foods. However, it lacks workout tracking features, and most features are paid, although the subscription is relatively cheap. The UI is easy to understand for beginners. The app receives a rating of 3.5 stars, noted as a good app for calorie calculation due to its Indian food database, but not ideal for workouts.
ThenX App by Chris Heria
The ThenX app, created by Chris Heria, is reviewed. The UI is simple and visually appealing, and the videos of Chris Heria and his friends provide motivation to learn calisthenics skills. The quality of the calisthenics workouts is great, and Chris Heria's tips are effective. However, the app is not suitable for gym-goers, as it lacks gym-related workouts and calorie calculation. The app receives a rating of 4 stars, praised as a solid app for calisthenics workouts, especially for those who can't go to the gym and want to learn skills like handstands.
Increase Height Workout App
The Increase Height Workout app is reviewed critically. The presenter shares his past experience of trying the app and finding it ineffective. The app promises to increase height but only provides stretching exercises, which do not increase height but may correct posture. The app receives a rating of 1 star, criticized for misleading users and lacking fitness/diet education. The presenter advises against wasting time on this app and recommends strength training, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep instead.
90 Day Challenge by My Favourite Browney
The 90 Day Challenge app, created by My Favourite Browney, is reviewed positively. The app is perfect for transforming one's physique, with features that are exactly what is needed without being confusing. It includes home workouts, bodyweight workouts, and weighted workouts. The app explains fitness concepts, teaches progress tracking, and provides nutrition guidance, including how to choose food and set a calorie budget. However, many features are paid. The app receives a rating of 4.7 stars, praised for its comprehensive features and education on diet and fitness.
Outro
The presenter concludes by emphasizing that while apps can be helpful, personal transformation ultimately depends on individual discipline and lifestyle changes. He encourages viewers to learn about fitness, calisthenics, and nutrition, and to focus on building a healthy lifestyle rather than seeking quick fixes.
