How we turned a popular fitness program into an audio workout — for free
Here's how, in just minutes, we turned one of our favorite fitness routines into an audio-guided workout capable of guiding us from one exercise to the next while recording our times, reps, distances, and resistance so we never have to stress over remembering our routine or recording our results.
Take any Workout
Select any strength, endurance, flexibility or balance training program from any source—Pinterest, Instagram, website, book, e-book, video, magazine.We selected the 5BX Plan by Dr. Bill Orban. Devise for the Royal Canadian Air Force in the late 1950’s, It’s composed of 6 charts, each with 4 body-weight exercises and a choice of a core endurance exercise, run, or walk..
Create IT
Build your routine by adding exercises from a database of over 500 exercises or add your own exercises on the fly. Select time, reps, distance and resistance. Create circuits of two or more exercises. Save circuits to your circuit library and use them in other workouts. Add rest periods and duration. Specify number of sets or rounds. Copy/paste exercises.
See How it’s Done
Watch as we convert a 5BX workout from an e-book into an audio-guided routine capable of recording your performance. Each of the four 5BX time-based body-weight exercises become time-based exercises that record your actual reps. We’ll even create a distance-based interval or circuit with one app, in a single workout.
