Getting in shape ought to be your prerogative — so shouldn’t the nature of your workout be fully in your control as well? Now it can be thanks to Sworkit, the fitness app boasting millions of users around the world. Thanks to the new Sworkit Workout Builder, users can now build, import, and customize a workout to be fully their own.

As it stands, Sworkit already gives you access to personalized video workouts that you can follow along with at any time or place without equipment. But now, those workouts can get even more unique, and Sworkit promises the closest thing you can get to a personal trainer on your phone. “Other apps let you favorite your workouts into a list, but we’ve taken it a step further,” said Sworkit CEO Ben Young. “With our Workout Builder and Custom List, you can build new workouts, customize existing workouts, or even import workouts made on other programs.”

Sworkit’s latest feature allows you to filter a workout by difficulty, category, stance, impact level, and focus area, and also allows you to share your favorite routines with your friends and family. “We had users coming to our trainers asking for easier exercises, harder exercises, exercises to reduce the impact on their knees, and much more,” said Young. “Launching this feature was the next logical step to addressing their needs.”

Since 2014, Sworkit has been delivering on-demand video exercise programs to its global user base, with exercises developed by an ACSM-certified personal trainer and a U.S. Army Reserves captain. The free version of Sworkit allows users to design and save one custom workout with the new feature, while Premium subscribers will have unlimited access to this customization.

So if you’re looking to get fit your way, Sworkit may be the tool you’ve been looking for.

If you're looking for affordable tablet deals, it's highly recommended that you check out Amazon's Fire tablets. The latest releases of the brand's largest models are still relatively cheap, and limited-time discounts have further lowered their prices on Amazon right now. The 32GB version of the Amazon Fire HD 10 is down to $95 from $140 for savings of $45, and the 64GB version of the Amazon Fire Max 11 is down to $180 from $230 for savings of $50. You're going to have to be fast with your purchase once you've chosen which one to buy though, because these tablets may be back to their regular prices as soon as tomorrow.

The 2023 release of the Amazon Fire HD 10 retains the tablet's budget-friendly price despite several improvements compared to its predecessor, including 25% faster performance, slightly less weight by 30 grams, and an upgraded front-facing camera from 2MP to 5MP for clearer selfies and video calls. The Amazon Fire HD 10 features a 10.1-inch Full HD touchscreen that's durable enough to withstand daily wear and tear, compatibility with Amazon's Alexa for voice commands, and decent performance for your daily tasks with its octa-core processor and 3GB of RAM. The tablet comes with 32GB of internal storage, but if you need additional space for your apps and files, you can get up to 1TB more through its microSD card slot.

The camera on this Android phone is confusing, but I love it

The back of the Tecno Camon 30 Premier.

I’m all for a lot of detail, and love to hear about the new technology that’s inside a smartphone I’m about to test, but when I have to search for an explanation of what something means, it’s not a good start. The Tecno Camon 30 Premier suffers from this problem, as it has a lot of cool camera tech that is explained in a mystifying way.

So, I thought the best thing to do was to just ignore the tech speak and find out if it takes great photos the old-fashioned way.
What's the problem?

The 5 best phones with IR blasters in 2024

The OnePlus 12's camera module.

IR blasters used to be a common component in smartphones, with big products from Samsung, OnePlus, and TCL giving users access to the cool gadget. Phones equipped with IR blasters could be used as a universal remote for your other electronics, making it easy to control your gear without the need for their default controller (which might be clunky and unintuitive to use).

Fast forward today, and attempting to find a smartphone with an IR blaster is shockingly difficult. What was once common technology is now relegated to just a handful of smartphones. You won't find any iPhones or Galaxy phones with IR blasters, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for a poorly reviewed smartphone if you're interested in the tech. You will, however, probably need to settle for either OnePlus or Xiaomi, as they're the two key players still churning out powerful smartphones equipped with IR blasters.
