Want to get cage-fighter ripped? Reigning UFC champ Georges St-Pierre has an app for that…

As routes to well-being go, being fit enough to defend yourself from  facial pounding whilst locked  in a cage isn’t bad. So it follows a bloke  who’s won multiple cage fights is a good  fitness role model. Canadian beefcake Georges St-Pierre is the mixed martial-arts welterweight world champ, and this  smart app channels his plyometric- and  gymnastics-fuelled success into a rounded  workout for you, sir.

It does a pretty good job, too, with 500  video exercises, plus input from trainer Patrick Beauchamp and nutrition coach Dr John Berardi, covering everything from  supplements to stock up on to recovery routines, with the app responding to   real-time user feedback and “tailoring each  individual workout to your current level   of fitness,” as St-Pierre explains it.

While this will reap major rewards for  serious gym bunnies with an unwavering  focus on rock-hard legs and core, there’s also plenty here for the casual user. For one, the  exercises mostly require minimal equipment, so you won’t need to buy an entire home  gym to feel the burn. We suggest you leave  actual cage fighting to the pros, though.
