This innovative app,
made by Chicago-based Barracuda Partners, turns anywhere with a floor into an
obstacle course, no equipment necessary. There are three levels of intensity:
beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
If you want to up the ante, Obstacles XRT also
allows you to compete with friends on the same courses.
"The idea is that we would like users to
wear a heart-rate monitor or check their pulse to get a general idea of what
their heart rate is, and no matter what difficulty, the challenge is to see who
has the lower heart rate," Brian Atz,
Barracuda's chief marketing officer, told Business Insider.
Atz says he uses
Obstacles XRT whenever he has the time and the notion. He's always on the road
and was sick of doing jumping jacks and sit-ups in his hotel room.
The beginner courses are only 20 minutes
including a cool-down and warm-up.
We tested the app ourselves and were thoroughly
impressed.
Obstacles XRT is available for the iPhone in
Apple's App Store . It's on sale for $1.99 for the rest of January 2013.
Barracuda's considering an Android version.
