Weight Lifting Videos contains a library of top lifting workout, technique, nutrition, and exercise videos, which support users in the gym. The Weight Lifting Videos app is broken down into four main options: (1) Trending, (2) Browse, (3) Favorites, and (4) Journal. In the “Browse” option, videos are categorized by muscle group and sorted by quality. Under the “Favorites” option, videos that users have marked as “favorites” are saved for later viewing, and popular videos are added to the “Trending” option each week. Also, each video has a thumbnail that shows a screen shot of the video and a title describing it. When users select a video, they are taken to a new screen to view it. (The videos are posted as embedded YouTube videos.) When viewing a video, users can share it via AirDrop or email, favorite it, or move forward or backward in the playlist queue. Finally, users can keep track of their workout reps and progress with the “Journal” option, which allows users to add text and images to document their progress.

Instructional Ideas

  1. Teachers can instruct students to watch the lifting videos for guidance and support before actually completing the different workouts. As students complete the workouts they view, they can record their reps and weights progress using the “Journal” option.
  2. Teachers can instruct pairs of students to select one of the Trending playlist videos and analyze the muscle groups and technique of the lift or exercise. Pairs of students can then demonstrate the lift or exercise to the class, and they can give an oral report on the muscle groups, important safety tips, and science behind the demonstration. Students can create a presentation using Quick Office, so they have a visual aide while making the presentation.
  3. Once comfortable with both the app and the gym, students can write a report using Pages, Google Docs, or Swiftkey about a comprehensive workout design for legs, upper body, core, or another muscle group. Next, students can create their own workout video using iMovie, Touchcast, or Videolicious that models the videos included in this app. The videos can then be uploaded to a class website.
  4. After becoming familiar with the videos in this app, students can make a rubric to evaluate the quality of the videos. Some ideas to consider including in the rubric are safety instruction, form and technique tips, and long-term effects of the exercise.
