### 2/5 — Elite athletes only?!

*2016-10-02*

It's starts by assuming you can hold a regular plank for 60 seconds followed by elbow and then leg raised etc. There is no way of telling the app I'm not that fit yet!!

### 2/5 — Decent but not worth it.

*2015-02-27*

There are much better 5 minute work out aps.  No explanation of exercises, no way to look ahead to see what exercises are included in a set(to see if you want to add weight or change exercises for an injury, etc.).  The plank version seems to be the only useful application from this group.
