App Profile: Workout Calendar - Motivation

This app was perfect for simple logging and just kept me consistent with my workouts. Something about X’s and checkmarks mentally pushes me to avoid X’s. Even doing a partial workout when I wasn’t feeling it just to get the checkmark felt good. I originally tried logging my workouts in a physical journal but I wouldn’t have it with me at times and would forget to log. This would just discourage me because I would be too many missing logs. Having it on my phone just makes it super convenient and fast since I can type it. This really reminded me of Atomic Habits by James Clear. If you want to create a habit you have to make it easy and attractive. And that’s actually what this app did for me!

This app is just what I needed! It's basic and allows me to schedule my own workout sessions without making me sift through all the ads and workouts provided by other exercise apps. It's flexible, offers many scheduling options, and allows you to leave notes! Also, the layout is very professional, clean and easy to navigate. Plus, all proceeds from purchasing this app go to an individual with Parkinson's. That's very important and significant to me. I still haven't found a way to get this app to notify me when a workout is due, but since I set up my own recurring exercise schedule, that's not critical. I just open the app and there's my workouts for the day.

This workout app does what I wanted to do for the most part. It records my workout activities. It helps me remember when I need to work out next, what type of workout (HITT, strength, etc) and gives me some motivation to fill in the calendar. I like that it remembers the workout titles so I don’t have to type them in each time. I’ve had the app for over a month and it has been very stable. The only improvement I would suggest is to allow red badge notifications. I’d like it to have that red circle on the app icon (badge notification?) showing the number of workouts on the calendar for that day. Once the workout(s) has been checked off, the red circle would disappear. That would make it more visible & motivate me more.
