A solid exercise program, app needs improving
Having done the 5BX program before I know it’s a good way to come back from long-term injuries. This time I decided to use an app instead of printing the schedule off the internet.
The app looks good, and explains the exercises to you clearly, but in my mind struggles with 2 things:
1. You can’t pick which level to start at. Fine if you’re starting from scratch, but not ideal if you’ve already begun the programme elsewhere.
2. Once you have finished the exercise reps you can’t skip the remaining time to move on to the next exercise. This makes the app almost unusable at the lowest levels where they give you 2 minutes to touch your toes twice.
Sadly I won’t be using the app again until they fix at least one of those issues.
