#workout cards

This one was tough but fun! First time i reached level 2 😁

Keep warm with this wintery workout! 🙂 Enjoy!

This past weekend, the Body Boss team attended the Glazier Football Clinic in Atlanta, GA. Last year, this was our coming out party having launched Jan 1 of last year. We learned a lot from that first clinic, and then the many subsequent clinics thereafter.

This year, we also took a slightly different approach. Over the past year, we learned a lot about not just from coaching philosophies, but we also fine-tuned our value to coaches and players. Aside from the benefits of Body Boss to motivate players, this past year, we wanted to target specifically the “old-school” way of tracking athletic performance – spreadsheets. Heck, ever seen one of these eye charts?

Spreadsheets in workout programs has always been “it’s always been like that”. However, with the advent and proliferation of technology, it’s high time a new technology stepped in that offered greater convenience. So with that, we wanted to hear more from Coaches about what each Coach at the Clinic hated spreadsheets, or what’s the pain of the “old-school always done it this way” method. We started with a blank whiteboard, and kicked off the fun with one of the most common pain points…

Yes, you read that right. We wanted to find out why spreadsheets sucked for working out. At the end of it, this is what we had on the board…

Some of the most popular responses were:

Time consuming

Workout cards were always strewn everywhere

Too much work to always update spreadsheets and print out new cards

Unsure what to do with the workout data from collection

Using spreadsheets can be confusing

With Body Boss, workouts can be tracked on-the-fly with the latest and greatest technology with smartphones or tablets, especially with the release of the new Body Boss iOS and Android apps with the Pods feature. This was apparent to coaches who quickly understood the value we could offer.
