+1 for gmb.io - it's the only program(s) that i ever paid for - they are that clever. (i am athletic, walk my dog daily, have access to crossfit gyms etc). gmb.io "fills the gaps" of daily movement deficits and is for everyone.

I appreciate the suggestion of gmb.io from you and the parent. I had something more traditional in mind when I asked for suggestions (pushups, situps, squats, etc.) - but the intro on their website is intriguing enough that I think I will at least give the free session a try.

How do you track your reps and weight per exercise? My trainer wants me to use paper. There are too many apps for this, and most of them are adware or junk. A glorified spreadsheet is what I’m looking for (mobile).

An app called Fitnotes, which I've used for years, is a glorified spreadsheet in my opinion.

Also contrary to another poster who insists on not tracking your lifts, I find it essential both for making progress and maintaining interest, its somewhat comparable to levelling an RPG character. At the very least its useful for remembering what you've done recently so you know what to do next.

if you start tracking reps and weight, i guarantee you will loose interest fast. while tracking might certainly be useful for muscle building, gmb.io has a different approach and focuses on movements that are safe and help you in real life (mobilise wrist / shoulders, prevent back pain improve posture etc). A lot can be done without fancy equipment.

I use Stacked. But only because I enjoyed books & content written by the creator. It's not as easy to adjust as other apps, but it's totally free and I think it's visually pleasing.
