One of the nicest surprises in the Nike Training Club app is just how visual (and stunning) it is.

Let me explain.

If you've ever picked up a fitness magazine, you've surely seen those essays that try to explain to you how to do a particular exercise. You know the ones I mean? The ones with the numbered steps that describe how to do a squat?

Those are boring after a while.

But I really hate it when they expect you to know what a squat means, exactly, without seeing it. My yoga practice has taught me that positioning matters, and that exercise is more effective when done correctly, so I really am a stickler for details.

The NTC app doesn't take anything for granted. For instance, if I told you to do a squat jump, would you know what to do?

Sure, you know your have to jump and squat, but wouldn't it be nice to see what it looks like?

Here is what it looks like on your phone, in three easy steps:
