# High Intensity Workout Apps Quick 4 is a Highly Condensed Four Minute Workout App By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-04-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-minute-workout References: [swiss-miss](http://www.swiss-miss.com/2014/04/4-minute-workout.html) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quick-4-minute-workout-tabata/id803491681?ls=1&mt=8) The Quick Four Minute Workout is being introduced by the same makers as the Quick Fit Workout app, which promised to help even the busiest people stay in shape in just seven minutes. If you thought seven minutes was still too much of a time commitment to make every day, it's now even harder to come up with an excuse not to take four minutes out of your day to do what's being called "The World's Fastest Workout." The highly condensed [four minute workout](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-bear) is based on the Tabata Protocol, which is used by Japanese Olympic athletes, proving that high intensity training is just as effective as a prolonged workout. 'Quick 4' offers videos, [sounds and voice cues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strength-plus) to guide you through the workout activities, so it's like having a personal trainer right at your fingertips. The app is free to download from the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obe) iTunes store, if you're up for the challenge and prepared to sweat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **High Intensity Training:** Opportunity for developing innovative workout apps that offer high intensity training programs in short durations. - **Condensed Workout:** Opportunity for creating workout apps that provide efficient and condensed workout routines for time-conscious individuals. - **Tabata Protocol:** Opportunity for incorporating the Tabata Protocol into fitness apps to offer effective and time-efficient workout programs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fitness Apps:** Opportunity for fitness app developers to create and provide high-intensity training programs for time-constrained users. - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for health and wellness businesses to integrate high intensity training and quick workout programs into their offerings. - **Digital Personal Training:** Opportunity for digital personal training platforms to leverage high intensity and condensed workouts to attract time-conscious individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Entertaining Micro Workout Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-workout-game.md) - [Extreme No-Excuse Fitness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workout-nightmare.md) - [Simple Fitness Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearystronk.md) - [Exercise-Focused Gaming Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-5min-x-suika-game.md) - [Pro-Level Workout Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropset-app.md) - [Kettlebell Workout Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellbeast.md) - [Simple Workout Tracking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sets-workout-app.md) - [Hyper-Personalized Workout Training Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shred-app.md) - [Motivational Push-Up Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pushup-quest.md)
