All included exercises can be performed anywhere, at anytime since Quick Fit doesn’t require any equipment. The seven minute workout requires you to perform a total of 12 exercises for 30 seconds. You are allowed a 10 second break in between each exercise. Each exercise is accompanied by a video, and you’re able to listen for audio cues so you can focus on the task at hand. You’re also able to track your body weight and workouts to see how far you’ve come. In addition to the 12 included exercises, you’re able to unlock the “Intense Abdominal Workout” and “15 Minute Yoga Routine” free of charge today only. Simply tap on their icons within the main menu and tap on “Unlock” to permanently add them to your collection.

If you lack the time and equipment to exercise, Quick Fit is here to help. You’re able to perform the exercises at home, at work, or even while traveling.

The app has a limited set of exercises since they’re all meant to be performed quickly and without weights. If you’re looking for a robust workout, this isn’t it.

To wipe out the Linkoidz scum, pull them off of the screen with your gravity gun and put them back in matching vertical rows of three or more. You’re able to activate your gravity gun by swiping down on each enemy. Then just swipe up wherever you want to place them. The game includes three modes, 30 missions, loads of power-ups, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

If you’re tired of the same old match-three formula, let Linkoidz spice things up a bit. It’s familiar yet unique.
