JEFIT Workout—Free personal exercise trainer & gym log

JEFIT Workout is a comprehensive app designed to support users as they work toward their fitness goals. After registering with the app, users are encouraged to enter their basic body information. Next, there are three main sections of this app, which include Home, Community, and Workout Plans. The “Home” section allows users to customize this app by recording their workouts, setting goals for their body stats, creating custom exercises, and taking progress pictures. The “Community” section allows users to post comments and their workout progress to this app’s forum. The “Workout Plans” section records workout regimens that users have downloaded from the Workout Plans listed in this app. (To access the Workout Plans from the home page, users must tap the “Lined” button on the top left of the screen, and then tap the “Workout Plans” button. From there, users can browse plans that are featured, shared by users, or ones they have created. Once users find a plan that interests them, they can tap it to view it ,and then tap the download button to save it to their Workout Plans section.) Additional options in this app include an “Exercise” feature that shows users muscle groups, and users can tap a muscle group to access different exercises for that region listed in the “Exercise Library.” The “Logs” option allows users to record exercises that they have completed, and the “Progress” feature tracks the headway that users have made toward achieving their workout goals.

Instructional Ideas

1. Teachers can have students first select a workout from this app’s library. Next, students can complete their daily workout during class for a period of time (e.g., a month, two months, or a semester) and record their efforts in the app’s “Logs” feature. This way, users will be able to see the “Progress” they made toward achieving their workout goals over time.
2. As an individual assignment, teachers can have students select an exercise to demonstrate from the “Exercise Library” in this app. When ready, students can call their teacher over to show him or her the exercise they selected.
3. Teachers can have students view the different workout plans listed in this app and select one. Before beginning the workout, teachers can require students to write a short justification that explains why they selected that workout plan and their expectations for it. That way, as students complete the different workouts required by this app, they can monitor if the workout plan is or is not meeting their expectations.
4. From the home page, students can use the “Set Goal for Body Stats” option to select benchmarks for their workout and see if they reach them. Teachers can require students to write weekly journal entries to evaluate their progress toward the benchmarks that they set for themselves.
