However, the impact of their work extends far beyond the realm of professional sports. By leveraging their profound knowledge and experience, they've created Myworkout - an app designed to bring the benefits of their research to everyone.
Myworkout's aim is simple but powerful: to make high-quality, research-based training instructions accessible to all, regardless of age or fitness level. Through the app, Hoff and Helgerud hope to inspire and guide individuals towards a healthier and more active lifestyle.
