Hello Product Hunters!
A couple years ago, I was preparing to climb Matterhorn. Training involved varying his daily workout duration, muscle groups, and heart rate zones, while also ensuring he had adequate time to recover. This type of fitness training is called periodization and involves figuring out the following:
• How long should my workouts be?
• What muscle groups should I focus on?
• What heart rate zones should I train in?
• When should I rest?
• How do I adjust my routine if I’m sick or busy?
The periodization process is scientifically proven and has been used by professionals and Olympic athletes since the 1950s. Although effective, I found that planning out his periodization plan was extremely time consuming. Everyday, I would need to calculate the exact number of minutes to exercise, which heart zone to be in, as well as which muscle groups to workout. If I got sick or busy, I would need to recalculate everything. From this experience, the idea for Pedestal was born. Together as a two person team, my wife Sara took on the design, while he tackled the programming.
Pedestal is currently only available for iOS and works with Apple Watch. Here is a 2 months free promo link: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ct...
Would love to hear what you all think.
I like the concept of this app. If you have a timeline that you need to follow and a goal to meet in the future, this app helps you stay on track so you peak at the right time! For me it's going to help prepare for future adventure race activities that I intend to try!
