Body map allows you to target and call up exercises for specific muscle groups and/or parts of the body, and see how many days where you worked those areas. Go deep (if you want): Log specific single exercises, or pre-programmed and custom workouts; track measurements for, uh, specific body parts (No, not that! Think: waist, bicep). Cloud patrol: Data can be backed-up on external server. Solid muscle-building, fat-cutting tips with easy-to-grok animated demos and text.
TIRED
Exercises and workouts are timed automatically (cool, provided you want to spend your gym-time on your phone; or ignore the timed field). Pre-set whole-body and full-body workouts don't specify rest time or expected duration. Get-to-the-point: Tips on "breathing" are actually, well, pretty long-winded. Only $4!
