Assess and improve your level of fitness with Bupa's targeted workouts and personal four-week plan.
Use Bupa Fitness workouts as a stand-alone programme or to complement your cardiovascular routine. It is designed for all age groups and all levels of fitness. The exercises are simple and can be done on the go or at home.
The application is designed to help you progress on four key areas of fitness: flexibility, core stability, balance and strength.
Simon Fairthorne, a Bupa physiotherapist who developed the exercises, said: "These exercises strengthen the core muscles, which act like a corset around your trunk, taking pressure off your back and pulling all your other abdominal muscles into the right place. Not only is core strength crucial to ensure proper posture, a weak core is a potential cause of back pain."
The app is available for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android.
It is available on iTunes and Google Play (Android Market) now, and is free to download. The app is in English only.
