Abtastic ($1.99)
Version 1.1
Review – A good start to a video collection of ab exercises
Looking to break up the monotony in your ab workout? If so you may be interested in what Abtastic has to offer. This app is developed by 2Dogs.com and is a video collection of ab exercises. It is off to a pretty good start and contains 15 videos showing different ab exercises.
When you open the app it default, after the splash screen, to the list of available exercises. From there you’ll pick which exercise you are interested in and it will open a page with a brief summary and video link.
The summary page gives you more information on what part of your abs you’ll be working. In addition it advises you on how many reps and sets you should try to complete.
From here you can either go back to the menu or you can click on the video link. The app does not need an internet connection as all of the videos are downloaded during installation. While watching the video, the commentator describes the form, technique, and a few pointers for each exercise while someone else is performing them. They show various angles and really spend time on the details aspect of the exercise.
In a gist that is what Abtastic offers you.
I think that this app is off to a decent start as a gym assistant to your ab workout. I think however they could add more features to make this a multi purpose app .. such as the ability to log your workouts, more exercises, customizes ab workouts that you can add on your own, workout goals, and so on.
Right now for 15 exercises and an app that offers little more than video descriptions I would suggest waiting until it is listed at a cheaper price. It’s definitely off to a great start so it would be worth keeping an eye on this app for future updates and improvements.
If you’re interested in grabbing this app head over to the app store today!
