When I
trained for the Nike Women's Marathon last fall, I used the
NTC app for my cross training. After I used it for the first time,
I posted a review. Since then, I haven't touched the app - so I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it to find a whole slew of updates!
They
completely changed the app, and I like it
so much better now! In my opinion, their biggest improvement is the 10 second mini-break between exercises so you can catch your breath and prepare for what the next move is. Genius!
I completed the Beginner Get Lean Hurricane, and compared to my old
post about the same exercise, even the moves are different! I'm thinking that most, if not all, of the exercises on the NTC app have been updated as well.

The workout had me sweating within 10 minutes! It was great - not too hard but it definitely challenged me. I could feel my back really overworking itself from this + yoga, so the only thing I omitted were the Broad Jumps. Plus, since the only equipment was the jump rope, I was able to do everything in my apartment!
You can even customize your workout- if I didn't feel like doing modified burpees, I could do froggers instead.
Love this feature.
Overall, I would definitely recommend the app to those who had maybe previously tried it and were dismayed by it. It's so much better now! Give it a shot!
