"Fitspiration"

Recently I made an amazing discovery in the app store (sometimes I just love browsing through the apps to see what is out there) and I came across the "Nike Training App". Thinking to myself, hmm maybe I can use this as some motivation to do some "pre-ball" workouts. I downloaded it and have never looked back! This app is incredible if you are interested in fitness! There is a wide variety of workouts varying in length and difficulty ranging from cardio to toning to strength. With the option of even creating your own personal workout program in conjunction with the nike running app there really is something for everyone! Personally I like to use the fifteen minute focus programs where you work intensively for fifteen minutes on a particular area of the body. My absolute favourite is the perfect alignment by Gabby Douglas which targets core and thighs. Using a combination of exercises so you are never bored, this app has definitely changed how I work out and keep fit - especially on the days where I have no netball or any other sports I can pop up to the gym for a half hours workout.

One thing I would say is make sure you warm up properly! I know this sounds silly but I found it really difficult to locate and then do the warm up that comes on the app so I generally just improvise and do my own! And a stretch down is a must!

For all the sceptics out there that are perhaps not a fan of the "fitness app craze" that seems to be around at the moment I would strongly urge you to trial this app at the least! It's free to download and use and you might even pick up some ideas for creating your own workouts! 

This post is in no way sponsored or affiliated with Nike but I just really wanted to let you guys know about it because it's something I really enjoy using and feel I really benefit from!
