different levels generated, not just one over all one? ie easy medium and badass [is now planned]

2012-03-01T16:48:02-08:00

just so people who are new to randomabs can ease in and people who have core strength and experiance are still challenged

This is currently in the works! Thanks for showing your interest in making RA better.

Provide a list of available equipment [is now under review]

2012-03-01T16:45:49-08:00

So users can check off what is available to them, and generated workouts can include exercises featuring the equipment.

We are hoping to incorporate this as well into the next update of our website. Our hope to make things very customizable for each individual.

Would LOVE a community feature on RA! Although this may take additional time, we would like to add this feature sometime after the next upgrade of the site. Our user base it becoming substantial enough to make this viable, so it will happen sooner if not a little later.

add excercise routines for other parts of the body too like waist, chest, arms, glutes, lhighs, back [updated]

Eric Olson said:

@Kane, thank you for the suggestion. When this feature is included, we will have options available to choose which muscle groups to integrate or just to focus on a single muscle group. How's that sound?

Include an estimate of calories burned doing the exercises! [updated]

2012-02-29T03:31:31-08:00

I use a calorie-count website (myfitnesspal.com) to help me lose weight, and it factors in how many calories you burn in exercise. How much do you burn doing RandomAbs?

PK said:

Definitely a good idea...while oen is focusing on abs building, one would be able to replenish the body for lost calories.

I'm not sure where you are in the world, but I don't get this email until around 9ish. I would just be nice yo have early so I can wake right up and do them before work instead of having to hold off. Love the site. It's forced me into doing ab exercises.

Self-explanatory; it would be great if you could consider the many android users who love random abs, in addition to the iPhone users!

Many of us fall into one of these three categories, and it would be great to have options for those of us who are looking for more/less challenging workouts!

Eric Olson (admin) responded:

With the current, simplistic approach we have taken with RA there is no 'good' way for us to alter email delivery at this time. However, we hope to allow people to choose their own delivery schedule as opposed to our own set schedule in the not to distant future.

Completion Button [is now planned]

2011-11-14T07:22:11-08:00

I suggest you have a button you can click when you've completed a workout. That way you can go back and see a calendar or a visual representation of the days you've completed the random abs workout.

Add more ab exercises that burn muffin top fat! [updated]

2011-10-26T16:18:56-07:00

Jackie Fullerton said:

I think that for the majority of people this is where our problem area is located and also the hardest ab muscles to find work outs for. I think that it would be great to see more ab exercises that incorporate some sort of cardio aspect to burn fat AND build muscle.

I also love this site, a great way to easily incorporate quick workouts into your routine! Also, the site is simple, clutter-free, and well managed :)

Seems like a very good idea, but I would say that it would be best to have separate areas for each muscle group, and not have an integrated 'random exercise'

Adding an Speaker who lead the exercice [updated]

2011-09-03T02:36:04-07:00

who counts: now side jackknife 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 and now the other side ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... now do a break ... ... ok go on! .......... so you don´t need to count by yourself, and get a constant speed (maybe justable) Sorry about my bad english

Myself said:

Doesn't need to be a ''speaker'' but just a check list or any countdown system to remmeber where we are in the routine and how many times we did. That way we can just concentrade on the job to do.

simple as it sounds. I currently have this booked marked on my homescreen. with the app you can have hundreds of random routines where ever you are.

@Kellyg Thank you. We agree with you that the app itself could be very simple and beneficial at the same time. Hopefully we can get a simple version out there in the near future.

Loving all your ideas! Rest assured, we will be breaking into other areas of the body in the future and are currently laying down plans to accomplish this.

Thank you for the great idea! The next upgrade of RA is already planning to have something along these lines as an optional way to be led through the routine.

Our plans do not include every rep being counted out (it would be more simple guidance), but we like the thought an will consider it as another option for customization.

The length of time it takes to do a RandomAbs workout is extremely small. Knowing I've already gotten myself on the floor to do these things, it would feel even more rewarding if I had another muscle group I could work on. Each "Random___" workout could be listed as a dropdown (like you have the Ab Tips), and I could choose to do chest/legs with my abs one day, or a full-body workout another day.
