Upbeat Workouts for Runners by Upbeat Workouts

Description

Match your walking or running steps to your music - automatically. Music from your playlist synchs with your steps, hands-free. Upbeat was created by triathlon Hall of Famer Sally Edwards, author of the just-released book Be a Better Runner. The Upbeat app motivates you to run/walk longer and faster. Upbeat Workouts is like having a personal DJ who spins your favorite tunes in time with your steps in perfect cadence. Make your run/walk even dance workout more enjoyable and the time just flies by.

Choose between two types of Upbeat Workouts, "Just Go" or "Coached Workouts". For "Just Go" you start running or walking and within a few steps your songs from your playlist will be matched to your stride automatically. Or, you can select "Hold At" and set a fixed cadence and the app chooses the music that matches the strides-per-minute that you select. Or, you can choose "Coached Workouts" and enjoy the guidance of your own personal coach motivating and leading you through workouts like Coach Sally's "Tempo Time" or Coach Bob's "LSD Surprise". Got to "Buy Workouts" and there are more free workouts for you to try. Or, you can purchase additional "Coached Workouts" as an in-app purchase for only 99 cents.

How does the app work? Our server has 10 million songs with BPM data and we provide you with BPM for all of your songs. Then, the app calculates your current steps-per-minute and matches the two. Pick up your running tempo and a faster song will begin to play, slow down and the song tempo changes. The workout is so much easier with synchronization of BPM (beats per minute) with SPM (strides per minute) allowing you to get fitter a whole lot faster and attain your personal goals.

Become a better runner or walker withbUpbeat Workouts right now and snag a couple of extra "Coached Workouts" at the same time. If you want motivation and a great run/walk experience like most of us do, then buy this app.

* Product support is available on our website (www.UpbeatWorkouts.com) and by phone at 916.481.7283 ext 112.

* You must have a 3G or wifi connection when you first use Upbeat to load the beats per minute data into your iPhone or iPod touch - this is required for your first time run.

* We highly recommend an armband, even on a treadmill, for the most accurate strides-per-minute detection from the device's accelerometer.

* Additional coached workouts are available as an in-app purchase for 99 cents each, just like a song. Most workouts are a fund raiser for charities like Positive Coaching Alliance and Fit for Girls.

Great support (5 stars)
Had a number questions to ask and heard from Sally almost immediately. Great customer support from the start!

Was able to use for the first time yesterday (3/6/12) and it worked exactly as advertised in the 'Just Go' mode for a short 3-4 mile run.

I had waited until the latest release based on Sally's emails to me. Glad I waited. I'm looking forward to trying the accompanying coached modes and to see how the product matu
