this is so awesome, you have no idea how happy it makes me to hear someone is actually using this to get healthier! i would love to hear from you and how you are doing in half a year or so: if you want drop me a short line at [email protected]

I promise I will fix the scrolling issue in the meantime.

The reason why I decided against running the exercises one after the other is because it makes it possible to chose the length of the break yourself. When I do the 20 minute version for example, I almost skip the breaks altogether in the beginning, but in the end I am so exhausted that I almost need a whole minute to recover between exercises. But I guess I could make it an option.

Do you remember which exercises are lacking explanations? I really want to avoid videos, that would make the app size enormous.

Strange - I was under the impression that GIF was larger than mp4: http://blog.embed.ly/post/89265229166/what-twitter-isnt-tell...

I don't remember what exercises were hard right now sorry. But yeah, I think video is lighter than gifs in most cases. See gfycat.com for proof. :P

I will definitely ping you in 6 months, already set up the google calendar reminder with progress pics. Thanks a bunch, really. This rocks.

oh wow, you're right! i just tried it with one of my gifs [0], and it reduced the size from 537k to 147k. that is amazing. I will definitely look into this. Apparently on some android phones the gifs are not playing correctly anyways, so I need to find a solution...this might be it! thanks!

You could make the videos click to play and just have image-clicks open a few Youtube videos.

Then creating a "skip break" button would probably be a better option.
