"When the palms of my two hands hold each other, that feels different from when you're hands are in mine..." -Beyonce

That quote has absolutely NOTHING to do with the PumpUp app but I had to throw a little Beyonce in there. The thing that you CAN actually have in the palms of your two hands is your phone with the PumpUp app on it. What? What is the PumpUp app?
The PumpUp app is a personal trainer that turns your ordinary workout into a calorie burning, muscle making machine. I have always wanted to have someone in my ear at the gym telling me which moves to hit next, how long to hold them, how many reps to do, and most importantly GIVES ME BREAK TIMES. The PumpUp app is this all in one.
You can personalize your workout the way a personal trainer would by first choosing a training goal, fitness level, duration of your workout, location, and then your equipment, target muscles, and any add-ons. My personal favorite place to use this app is at home where I have limited workout equipment and the app even lets me workout with no equipment, still allowing me to get fit! And don't think that just because your new personal trainer is only an app that you can skip several workout activities. It will know and you will look like a failure when it says that you only completed 45% of your workout. Stick it out and make it happen!
The app is also social media! Upload photos along with your workouts, mark your progress and follow friends to see how they're doing. PumpUp retweets its Twitter followers when you mention them. It's perfect for encouraging others, asking for advice, and just getting motivated through others.
