Bootcamp in 7 minutes

This Boot camp app is a great way to keep your mind fresh and body healthy, but you don't always have enough time to make it to the next boot camp session with friends.

Now you can and all it takes is 7 minutes and your iPhone, in the comfort of your own home or in a hotel room on a business (or holiday) trip!

Main Features:
- Designed to be simple and focussed.

- Thoughtfully optimised for the iPhone 5, 5c and 5s.

- Will also work on your iPhone 4s.

- Everything you need is already in this app, no internet required, unless you want to tweet or Facebook your progress :-)

- Voice guidance during the exercises, unless we play twister we can't always keep an eye on the screen :-)

- Track your daily exercises and activities, walking around and how we travel from point A to B matters to our fitness.

- Based on sports sciences research and current trends and combined with my own personal experience going from no exercising to daily exercises.

- Simple to use and sensible, placing your iPhone on it's side is sometimes easier to position it where you perform the exercises, no problem, it will adjust accordingly to extend your daily exercise rather than limit it.

The story behind this app:

Sometimes winter makes it difficult to motivate yourself getting up early or driving to boot camp or gym after work. Sometimes we all have a busy stretch at work and time is suddenly scarce (those 14 hour work days and/or family commitments then take priority over a 1 hour gym/boot camp session).

I went from no exercise for the last 20 years to daily exercise for the last year and no I'm not a fitness guru, I'm just another working professional that kept postponing adding some sort of exercise routine to my day - I knew I should, that it will benefit my health, improve my vitality and even kick start my nervous system so my mind is fresh for the new day's challenges.

To make it worse I'm a single parent on top of that so when I'm not working I'm making food, washing dishes, helping my son with his homework, ensuring laundry is taken care of and paying bills, like we all have to - and I simply don't have the time to go to a gym.

What I got out of the exercises were a sense of heightened vitality, feeling strong for the day and capable of achieving anything and not feeling depressed but feeling I had the energy to work hard during the day and be a great parent at night for my son - now that was missing.

Then I read an article on a 7 minute high intensity circuit training intended for a busy schedule as we all have in today's times. This lead me to do some research and find the original article published on the topic as well as others. I realized that my iPhone is not just a phone to me, it's an extension of my day each day and I wanted to apply my iPhone to help me with a boot camp session of a few minutes each day and so I started working on this app, using it and then refining it. I wanted it to be focused, simple and most importantly I wanted it to help me track my efforts in a meaningful way. And so this app was born.
