My initial experience with Fitbod App

An app that covers almost the entirety of my fitness needs

As a child, I was always active. My youth was spent either playing on the football field or cycling with friends. As I entered my teens, football played a greater role in my life and I regularly played or trained 4–5 times a week.

Roll forward a few years and college, university and part-time work absorbed the majority of my time meaning football soon became a happy memory. To maintain my ideal weight and fitness I chose to join a local gym. My self-planned gym exercises, in addition to my active part-time job, helped me maintain my fitness.

Now in my mid-thirties, I’m still an active gym member, however, it's these “mid-thirties” that make the gym going onerous. My less active career, alongside my less active metabolism, means maintaining or even achieving the fitness level I had in my teenage years is extremely difficult. Staying in shape and being in tune with my body is important to me as my weight and skin condition reflect the general condition of my body. My body tells me when I’m unfit and it shows when I’m unhealthy, so my own amateur workout plans no longer provide the results I need to stay in shape.

As a result, I needed to search for a new professional fitness app — an app that could hopefully restore the levels of fitness I once had as a teenager and an app that can transform some of my wobble into something more solid.
