Anybody have any good training apps they use for iPhone or other smart phone?
I use Interval Timer, which is exactly what is sounds like, a very versatile timer app that you can set for tabata, sparring rounds, just about any type of timing interval you can think of. A recent upgrade to the app made it possible to save certain set arrangements, whichs is awesome so now I don't have to reset everything every time I want to switch time arrangements.
I had one for a while that had a few BJJ hold videos on it, but basically it was just a free app that was trying to get people to purchase a subscription app.
That's about it. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some more useful apps out there (especially for free or cheap), so I thought I'd throw it out there.

^^^ so, is it $1.99 total, or do you have to pay 99 cents for each group of exercises? How many exercises are included at the $1.99 price?

So I started a new workout plan using iphone apps.
200 squats
200 sit ups
100 push ups
20 chin ups.
These apps are all very similar in nature, they allow you to focus on achieving the designated number of reps the app is aptly named after. You take an initial test to see how many you reps you can complete, then it configures those reps into a program that is comprised of five sets every other day in which the reps progressively add up until you reach your goal number of reps all in one set(ie. 100 pushups).
I start off by jumping roping to warm up and work on my endurance/cardio.
My first workout is using the 200 Squats App.
My second workout is the 100 Push Ups App.
The third workout is 200 sit ups app
My last workout is 20 chin ups app.
So in a couple months for the first time in my life I should be able to show off to people and do a 100 push ups.
Oh and I think once I get to 200 squats and 100 push ups or plateau Ill switch to burpees.

I will now just do 5 sets a day adding one rep to every set every until I plateau.
Then I will add a rep to 3 sets a day until I plateau.
THen I will add a rep to one set a day until I plateau
and then I will start using this app again.

Won't show you how to train, but I have the free app "Lose It" which allows you to track what foods/drinks you consume along with putting in exercises. It has nutritional info for tons of foods, food from restaurants, beer, and also lets you scan barcodes for info. I've kept a log for two weeks now, which is longer than I ever went when writing it down. For exercises, it has Jujitsu, Karate, Judo, wrestling, boxing, you can add the length of the class and it has a standard amount for calories burned. They also have yard work, lawn mowing and many other sports and activities. It will show you a budgeted calories amount, how much you've taken in compared to burned which is cool, send you reports, and so forth.

That should be fine, as long as you don't have a connection to the ap or are looking to profit from it. Plus you seem to be contributing as a general poster, and really our red flags for "spammers" are posters that come in, post nothing but the link in several threads, and leave. But a post to an app you like in a thread about apps is topical, so would be fine.

No connection, just love MMA and any thing that has to do with it.
This one is Shoutbox Workout Timer. it is just like having Bass Rutten calling out combos for you.
http://www.shoutboxtimer.com/
This one is a Tabata timer it's the best one I've seen. As far as I know you can use it with a computer, or Download MP3s for a iPod. Both of these are worth checking out IMO.

I guess I don't know how to post links and make them work.
