Faster Workouts app for iPhone and iPad

You can get A LOT stronger - even if youre a beginner - with just a 5 minute workout at home.



Dr. Chris here – I know, I know – there are LOTS of fitness apps out there.



As a primary care doctor and exercise researcher at Penn State, I wanted an app to help my patients (and friends) over 50 get A LOT stronger, but in the simplest way possible.



Though the research was clear that shorter workouts are really effective, they were always buried deep in other apps. I wanted to focus on them – to help people in their 50’s get stronger very simply and quickly.



Our reason for being is to answer this one question: “If we made getting stronger much easier and faster, would more people do it?”



HOW IS IT SO SHORT?


We use 3 research-based hacks to get you stronger much faster.


Hack 1. Keep intensity high.


You have to try very hard. Faster Workouts is hard but short. We will keep increasing the weight every single day, so long as you can do 10 repetitions. If you wait until 15 repetitions, it will take you MUCH longer to get stronger.


Hack 2. Use only multi-joint exercises.


You can do 15 exercises that work 1 muscle or 3 exercises that each work 5 - like we do in Faster Workouts. Both methods are equally effective but one – obviously – takes 5 times as long.


Hack 3. Do only ONE set of each exercise.


Dozens of studies have proven that almost all (80%) of the strength gain comes from the first few sets of an exercise each week. The first set of each exercise gets you 80% of the strength gain and the next two get you only 20% more.


WHAT MAKES FASTER WORKOUTS DIFFERENT?


SAVE TIME.


Rather than dozens of workouts, the Faster Workouts app has ONE full-body strength workout. Each week we post a new video with different information and coaching hints, but the same exercises. We selected each exercise very carefully, so they could become part of a lifelong habit.


SIMPLIFY STRENGTH TRAINING


Faster Workouts simplifies strength training by guiding you through the key decisions. Strength training has lots of decisions – How much weight? How many repetitions? When to increase? How hard to work? Faster Workouts simplifies the process and tells you exactly when to increase and by how much, based on your performance.


SAVE MONEY


It’s free and we don’t sell or share your data. And you can use the app to get really inexpensive coaching – 3 sessions for $49, less than you’d pay for one session. It’s less expensive because your coach has access to your data – so it’s easier to see what changes make sense and the workouts are short. Learn more here.

I’m Dr. Chris Sciamanna, a primary care doctor and exercise researcher at Penn State.


I started Faster Workouts to make it simpler for my patients in their 50s to get stronger – even if they never tried to get stronger before.


I’m 55 and this workout is all I do to stay strong. I just love how short it is – it gives me no excuses.


And it really works – the evidence is clear: it’s amazing how strong you can get in just a few minutes.
