8 Minute Workout for iOS can keep you on track with exercising every single day

by Allyson Kazmucha

8 Minute Workout for both iPhone and iPad can help you try and get into a routine of exercising everyday, even if it's just for a few minutes. Based on HICT (high intensity circuit training), all the exercises used in 8 minute workout are things that you can do without anything more than a chair nearby.

If you're out of the routine of going to the gym or are just looking for a way to be somewhat more active each day, 8 Minute Workout can be a good start to getting there. There are 12 exercises inside of 8 Minute Workout that you will do in intervals of 30 seconds. From jumping jacks to planks to pushups, you cycle through many different exercises quickly so you're working out as many areas of your body as you can. Above the timer you can also see clear illustrations of how to perform each exercise.

In between each set of exercises you are given a 10 second rest break. If you need a few more seconds, you can take them as you'll need to tap on start each time to begin the next set of exercises. 8 Minute Workout also tracks stamina levels and how often you're performing the routine. It's also safe to repeat the exercise routine if you want.

For people who are trying to start exercising regularly or for someone who wants a filler routine for the days they can't make it to the gym, 8 Minute Workout is a great option that can get you on your feet in only a matter of seconds. If you happen to try it out, let us know what you think in the comments.

8 Minute Workout is currently on sale to celebrate the launch. Regular price will be $1.99.

Waze Joins Google!

by Noam

Dear Wazers,

I am excited to announce today that we have accepted an offer to join Google. I’d like to share some information about what this means for Waze.

Larry Page, Brian McClendon and the Google Maps teams have been following our progress closely and are excited about what we’ve accomplished. They share our vision of a global mapping service, updated in real time by local communities, and wish to help us accelerate. We are excited about the prospect of working with the Google Maps team to enhance our search capabilities and to join them in their ongoing efforts to build the best map of the world.

Nothing practical will change here at Waze. We will maintain our community, brand, service and organization – the community hierarchy, responsibilities and processes will remain the same. The same Waze people will continue to collaborate with you, and we will continue to innovate our product and services, making them more social, functional and helpful for everyday drivers. Our employees, managers, founders and I are all committed to our vision for many years to come.

Why not stay completely independent? We asked ourselves: “Will Waze still be a fun project to participate in, and a fun place to work, as a stand-alone public company?” Choosing the path of an IPO often shifts attention to bankers, lawyers and the happiness of Wall Street, and we decided we’d rather spend our time with you, the Waze community. Google is committed to help us achieve our common goal and provide us with the independence and resources we need to succeed. We evaluated many options and believe Google is the best partner for Waze, our map editors, area managers, champs and nearly 50 million Wazers globally.

Together, we can accelerate our mission to outsmart traffic. We will continue to make a real impact on drivers globally, helping them save time and money while making everyone’s daily commute a bit more efficient and fun.

So, it’s back to work for us with some great new colleagues and resources to enhance our project. Thank you for your participation in shaping Waze to what it is today, and we look forward to continuing to build out Waze together with you.

See you on the road,

Noam
