Reviews

Clinical review

Reviewer: Dietitian App Review Working Group, Auckland DHB
Date of review: July 2015
Comments: There is no nutrition element to this app. The exercise videos do not have instructions. Would be most effective for people who have some knowledge of different exercises and how to complete them safely.
New Zealand relevance: Acceptable for a New Zealand audience.
