Burpee Buddy - Home Workouts | Challenges

What is this for?

Burpee Buddy is primarily used to track your body weight and calisthenics exercises and helps you create a habit of exercising daily.

You can create challenges, for example 100 reps x 30 days and get a daily reminder to work out.

It especially makes burpees and push-ups more fun because of the audio feedback when completing each repetition.

The app currently supports:

• repetition based exercises which can be automatically counted with the phone's proximity sensor like burpees or push-ups

• repetition based exercises which cannot be counted automatically like pull-ups, dips etc

• time based exercises like plank, hold etc

What this is not

The app is expert friendly and will not educate you on the proper form of exercises which is your responsibility.

You will not find animations or demonstration videos here.

• Burpees or push-ups can be counted automatically using the proximity sensor

• Lightweight: ~2 MB download size

• Battery friendly

• AMOLED-friendly user interface

• Keep the screen on during workouts

For exercises that use the proximity sensor, you'll have to lock your phone to avoid accidental clicks and place the phone on the ground where your chest will land.

It is recommended that you gently touch the phone with your chest for the repetitions to be registered.

Some phone models have the proximity sensor disabled when the screen is on.

You can easily disable the proximity sensor from the main screen(top right button) if you prefer to manually enter the number of reps or manually signal that a set was finished.
