Anyone have any good apps they use? I was using the MTF training app. It was pretty good. A little wonky. But gave me programs to follow, which I like. If I have to figure out my own programs I end up going down the rabbit hole trying to research and waste time. In the end I don't train as much.
Complete Racing Solutions
I've been using the LesMills+ app the last few months.
I use both Garmin connect and Strava as fitness trackers. If anything Strava is my basic, easy reliable go-to.
As long as I hit my hours per week and put the relative effort in the top half of the suggested range each week, then it’s working. It’s basic, but reliable.
Nike
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Something that gives me programs and exercises to follow. Because I waste time and I'm never sure what to do.
FitBod is really good. Not only does it give you a plan, but automatically adjusts reps/weights to keep you progressing. In the beginning certain exercises may be way too easy or too hard, but do the best you can and log it accurately. You’ll have to give it a couple weeks for the algorithm to really hone in on your actual strength/fitness level, but once it does the app works really good and keeps challenging you.
Just sign up for the Troll Training. John and Alex give you programs to do every week for cardio and gym.
Do you need much or any equipment for their plans outside of maybe just a bike and a few free weights?

You will need a form of cardio (running, cycling, rower) and a good range of weights (dumbbells and barbell work)
Another vote for Troll Training.
Nice structure workouts with minimal equipment.
I have a spin bike, C2 rower, set of adjustable Dumbells and and pull up bar.
Buy 3 kettlebells of different weights.
Write 15 KB exercises on a pieces of paper and dump them in a jar.
Draw 4 out and do the exercises, dump paper back into jar.
Run 3-5 miles, no longer than 45 mins.
Repeat daily.
Grindr is a good one, especially if you're based near a major city.
Heard it will make you sore in ways you've never felt before.
This one. Its built in and its cheap. I cant imagine spending $400 dollars to take my temperature and heart rate. hahaha. But Hey... you guys do you. 🤣
why not get a gym membership and commit to going a few times per week? Forget the apps and leave the phone in the car or at home.
The single biggest increase you will ever see is going from nothing to something.
Ask ChatGPT to write you a beginner workout plan. You can even add in the qualifiers for a motocross athlete, that is a beginner, and you only have access to whatever equipment you have.
you can use any AI (gpt, gemini, deepseek) to use as a personal trainer with daily feedback. Tell who you are, your equipment, your availability or limitations, and what do you want / need. If you have a garmin or similar, give it your metrics... It will create a program, you can give your daily feedback and your metrics and it will take action if needed, give advice and so on.... just treat it like if it is your real trainer... tell it he will become your trainer. It is amazing... I have tested gpt, gemini (I have paid version), perplexity (I have paid version), and deepseek.... My choice is to use gemini as the trainer and use Deepseek as a consultant.
It is much better than any of the existing apps
Pit Row
P-90X and some mountain biking covers a lot. Easy button (for planning).
I'll have to play with AI and see what it comes up with.
The amount of info on chat gpt is amazing
