Runtastic Push-Ups PRO
Oh boy, another one from runtastic! It’s no secret that we’ve become avid followers of their apps, and in the process we’ve lost weight! Hah! Who said technology is for fat people? Lies, I tell you!
Runtastic Push-Ups PRO is their latest app to go FREE for a limited time, and we are thankful indeed.
To use it is quite simple. Put your device on the floor, facing up or, if needed, put it over a box or something so you won’t have to go all the way down. Then, position yourself above it and start pushing up. Every time you go down, make sure to touch the device with your nose or chin. It will then count your push-ups for you.
It will also keep your records and will cheer you on with advises, healthy thoughts, and reminders of how many left until you break your personal record.
The idea behind it is to gradually increase the amount of push-ups you do every session. As usual, it will allow you to connect and exchange data between all other runtastic applications that you have installed.
If you’re into bragging, you can also post your training details on your favorite social networks.
The app provides detailed reports and sessions history, so you can keep track of your progress.
This amazing app is Universal and FREE for a limited time, so install it and start pushing. Up.

Feedly
People say RSS Feeds are dying. Lies. RSS is still the best way to keep up with the latest news, your favorite websites, job offers, or whatever other functionality you can think of.
Nevertheless, Google recently announced that their RSS reader, Google Reader, is going down July 1st 2013. Bad news to an incredible amount of avid feeds readers, me included.
So we all started looking for replacements, and after a few weeks of experimenting, here is the one that will be taking Google Reader’s place:
Feedly was already well-known, due to its integration with Google Reader and useful interface. It was also fun, as it adopted the “magazine” concept (remember Flipboard?) – if you choose to.
Also, Feedly staff already came out after Google’s announcement and said that whoever is using Feedly to read their connected Google feeds will be automatically migrated to their system. No work required. Score!
For both iPhone and iPad, this app will cover all your RSS needs. You can also (as I said before) use it in magazine mode, where it will try to sort out and organize your feeds into a magazine look, making it that much more appealing. However, if that’s too much fuss for you, there is a classic view mode, and a few others that you can explore.
Particularly I use the classic mode for news and the magazine mode for my photography category. It does work, believe you in me.
So if you want a highly customizable application for RSS Feeds, I believe you did find it. Also, they have their own web platform, so you can continue using it over your PC, as well on your iOS devices. Can’t go wrong here.
This awesome app is Universal, FREE and ready to use. Get it before July 1st to have your account migrated and don’t skip a beat!
If you’re having doubts, check the video below.
runtastic SitUps Pro
From time to time, Runtastic gets up and gives us a gift.
This time, the chosen app is runtastic SitUps Pro, and it’s FREE for a very limited time!
This awesome app will keep runtastic’s tradition of trying to make you healthy, and this time sit-ups are in order.
Just start it, login, select your training program and lay down on the floor. Now sit. Down. Sit. Down. Rinse, repeat.
To use it properly just hold your device in landscape mode close to your chest and start your sit-ups. The device will recognize the movement and will start counting your series, providing a beep for every sit-up.
The app provides great reports and is visually appealing. And since it’a free (for a limited time), why not give it a try?
runtastic Heart Rate PRO
Two weeks ago, we covered the great runtastic PRO, by Runtastic. As you must remember, it was free and you installed it. Right? Good.
Now we have another free app from Runtastic, and you will install it too.
I’m talking about runtastic Heart Rate PRO, an amazing heart rate monitor right on your pocket.
When you start up the app, you’ll notice the flash of your iPhone will lit up. If your iPhone doesn’t have flash, it doesn’t matter. Just be sure you are in a place with enough light.
Put your finger (I use the index finger) in front of the camera, and make sure you cover the flash with it also. The camera will analyze the variations in the color of your finger (caused by the blood flow), and will measure your heart rate from it. Try to avoid doing it with cold fingers, as it could lead to misleading results.
After it is measured, you get to tell the app how are you feeling and what is your condition (are you resting? Did you just wake up? Before exercise? After?) and even write a custom note. It could be something like “Just ate a KFC bucket on my own”, so there is an explanation for that 120bpm in resting state. Shame on you. Shame!
This measurement will immediately provide you with a bar graphic stating if your rate is within the human average. You can also share it via Facebook, Twitter or email.
If you want to check your progression through time, there is a “History” section that allows you to do just that. You can also filter your history results, so you can have more detailed information and control over your blood pumper. If you’re doing it right, you should see your rate decrease in resting state after some time.
As this is the PRO version, you get the full package. Unlimited measurements, ad-free, and reminders. These alerts will remind you to check your heart rate whenever you set it to do so.
As I stated before, this app is FREE for 24 hours only, so why don’t you just go ahead and install it? Thank me later.
