Context-Aware Experience Sampling. Overview Context-Aware Experience Sampling (CAES) is the term we use for a type of data collection method based on the experience sampling method (ESM).

ESM [1] and EMA [3] use monitoring devices to assess phenomena at at the time that they occur as the people being observed are in natural settings.

Requires iOS 5.1 or later. Power 20 includes three 20 minute workouts with a variety of body weight exercises such as pushups, burpees, squats, triceps pushups, single leg squats, tuck jumps, planks and more. The app is about as simple as you can get. You launch it, start with 'the Gym' workout (which means the background scene is at a gym), choose your level - 1, 2 or 3 - and go.

The app uses an animated character to demonstrate each exercise and then you start, completing a circuit of exercises for a certain number of reps or a certain length of time for a total of 20 minutes. You can unlock other workouts, one at the beach and the other on an imaginary yacht which, I suppose, is the closest most of us will ever come to seeing one of those.

The workouts change each time and, a nice plus, you can listen to your music while you use the app.
