Workout Assistant 1.4.0.0
Those who want a personal trainer and advisor that fits right in the back pocket can try Workout Assistant, an application designed for all Windows Phone users.
This tool offers some neat features for making custom workout routines and logs the activity in order to offer detailed statistics about the progress made in training various muscle groups.
Well structured front-end with a nice look
The app greets you with a really clean and nice looking interface, where the neat graphics are accompanied by a smooth navigation among the various sections of the app.
The smart layout of Workout Assistant enables you to access all the functions and configuration commands without any effort.
The charts you will check out inside this application are well designed, so the data is easy to read and presented in a professional manner.
Make your own workouts and manage them on the fly
Inside the main screen of the utility all the workouts you create are displayed, each with a short summary that includes the total duration and number of burned calories.
When putting together a complete gym routine you have to opt for the type of workout you create, namely choose between muscle building, losing weight and keeping a good health.
After specifying the break duration and typing in the name, it's time to add exercises and there are plenty of muscle groups to choose from. You can set the number of repetitions, break intervals and add the value of the weight used for each exercise.
A neat feature of Workout Assistant is the ability to include YouTube videos for these exercises, but this function doesn't work, at least on certain handsets.
Carry out exercises with the assistant and view stats
The application focuses a lot on the actual exercises and features a friendly assistant that lets you know the remaining time until the exercise or resting period ends.
While this virtual coordinator is running, inside the main screen you will also have a summary of the current exercise and you can pause, move forward or back using the dedicated buttons.
As soon as the workout is complete and you mark it as such, inside the "Burned calories" section you will see a nice graph which shows the calories burned each day for the last couple of weeks.
The evolution of the body weight can also be logged from the corresponding section of Workout Assistant. Unfortunately, you cannot export the data or share the progress.
