Couch to 5k

This is a great app to encourage people to get active with a well planned, easy routine that progresses slowly day by day. This app has a really simple and pleasant interface. It’s good that you can see how much of the workout you have left, what is coming up in the next phase, and how many workouts there are left to go in order to achieve the goal of jogging 5kms. It’s a realistic program so most people should achieve the goals set forth. It’s also good that you can log your progress, hook up with buddies and share your progress on Facebook, and track your pace and route on a GPS. I didn’t use the GPS option because I couldn’t easily work out how. I couldn’t figure out how to add music to the workout from the list of options presented. I would have liked to hear more encouragement throughout the walk/jog routine.
