Next, grant the app the permissions it needs to work properly and then authorize the connection with Google Fit, on Android, or with the app Health, on iOS / iPadOS.

As you can see, the application is divided into various screens, accessible by tapping on the icons in the bar at the bottom.

Come funziona Adidas Training by Runtastic
Among the most prominent applications developed by Runtastic is Adidas Training for Android and iOS / iPadOS: a solution dedicated to training that integrates numerous video lessons for those who want to train from home or in the gym without the aid of a personal trainer and doing everything at their own pace. As its name indicates, it was made in collaboration with Adidas.
The application is presented with the typical style of the other apps developed by Runtastic, thus offering a long series of video lessons completely free, but leaving the possibility of subscribing to a subscription, which starts at 9,99 euros / month, to have access to unlimited features and tons of other exercise videos.
After installing and starting Adidas Training, you will be asked to register or log in with your account dedicated to Runtastic services and fill in the initial form of your profile (if you have not done so previously).
Adidas Training, as you can see, is divided into various sections: the most significant one is accessible by tapping on the menu item Workouts. You will then be presented with the ability to view videos dedicated to independent workouts or exercises. Pressing on the section Workout creator, for example, you can choose which part of the body to train (keep in mind that not all the exercises prepared by Runtastic are available in the free version).
Once you have chosen the exercise or the part of the body you want to train, press the button Continue and follow the instructions that are given to you on the screen (as well as those that are given to you by the voice guide), so as to complete the training.

The user interface is practically identical to the other applications I told you about in the course of my guide: you will then find the sections again News, Progress, Activities, Piani e Profile.

The main social features of Runtastic will be visible in this application: you can in fact activate the Live Tracking and publish the conduct of your business on Facebook, receiving messages of encouragement from your friends. At the end of the workout, swipe from left to right on the button Scroll for the break and then presses the button end, so as to end the session.
Remember, then, to also press the button Save, to save data regarding your activity. At the end of this operation, you will see a report on your training containing all the statistics regarding the activity performed.
