Our Analysis:

• Do we recommend using the application?

• Experts recommend monitoring by professionals. Why? Because this method it is not for everyone and it can cause injuries.
• We agree with them, but we think that the application can be really beneficial if it is done with care and security, taking our ergonomics, performance, ability and fitness.
• If you follow the guidelines that the application itself gives you, mainly it doesn't have to have problems. On the other hand, it is probably beneficial to you and motivating.

• For who?

• Obviously, if you are a professional athlete it is not your application. But in case you want to improve your fitness, starting from a very low level: it is a good way to improve your fitness. Complete quests and interact with the application and soon you will get results.

• At first, 7 minutes could be enough, but not for all. It always depends on your performance. 
• For the general population, we think 20 minutes may be sufficient, but it is very important to combine with aerobic exercise over 20 minutes at least two days a week.

• Conclusion

• For us, we think it is a good application for a healthy physical condition and be able to feel good.
