Beep Test

Description

Ever wondered how fit you are (but were afraid to ask)?

This app can help you. (It also doubles as a great alternative to beer pong!)

All you need is
– a pair of running shoes
– a flat 20 meter running pitch
– a modicum of enthusiasm
– this app

The app is a simple, meat’n’potatoes, program that will assist you in a private execution of the beep test. It will
– prompt you with a double-beep (see, it’s an enhanced version!)
– display seconds to beep
– display seconds to next level
– display distance covered so far (incl. shuttles) and time elapsed

When you are done, the app will provide you with
– an estimated VO2_MAX
– an estimated calorie consumption

… that will
– give you bragging rights (hopefully)
– allow you to compare your fitness to that of the general population
– allow you to chart your progress

Caution : Some side effects have been noticed
– Runner’s high. You will find yourself smiling far too much
– Fitter. Regularly done, you will be able to ‘run up those stairs’
– Leaner. Darn, gotta buy smaller jeans!

p.s. Most developers love feedback. Me, too. Please provide feedback … particularly if something about the program bugs you. Enjoy.
