- Science is the rationale for the effectiveness of the complex, based on the physical, emotional, and intellectual biorhythms of a person.
The disadvantages of the utility are pop-up advertisements and the lack of Russian voice acting for some video exercises. Advantages: automatic workout reminder, gradual increase in intensity, tips for correct execution.
