There are hundreds of thousands of apps out there vying
for space on your mobile device and it is nearly impossible to keep up with
all of them. Checkout some best fitness apps for you
1) MyFitnessPal
MyFitnessPal is the easiest way to track eating habits. You can scan a
barcode or choose from company's database of over 5 million foods to
easily track nutrition and caloric intake. MyFitnessPal can also sync
with a variety of fitness trackers (Fitbit, Jawbone, Garmin, Polar,
Under Armour, Misfit and Withings) and popular apps, such as RunKeeper,
Strava and MapMyRun.
Available on:Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
While you will be required to purchase a Jawbone fitness tracker for
sleep tracking, the company's Up app can track activities like steps,
distance and calories burned using your iPhone or a compatible Android
device. The shining feature is the smart coaching and personalized
feedback you receive that help motivate you to reach your fitness goals.
Aside from activity tracking, there's food, drink and mood tracking,
and you can create teams to compete with others. The software can also
connect with a huge selection of third-party apps, such as MyFitnessPal,
RunKeeper, Strava, IFTTT, Nest and others.
Like the Jawbone Up app, the Fitbit app provides an easy way to track
daily activities with your smartphone. The app can also be used to log
food intake, water consumption and daily weight, but that's not even the
best part. Fitness tracking is more fun when you're competing with
friends. Fitbit is the name-brand when it comes to fitness tracking, and
you likely know someone who either uses the app or owns a device.
Competing with friends, family members and colleagues will help keep you
motivated to walk that extra mile.
Strava
is a running/cycling log, a tracking app and a fitness community all in
one. There's also a "Segments" feature shows how you compare to others
on certain stretches of road. The key to Strava's success is how many
devices and services it is compatible with. Strava can sync with devices
from Garmin, TomTom, Polar, the Microsoft Band, Fitbit, Timex, Suunto
and more.
Others running apps to consider: Runkeeper, Runtastic, Endomondo, MayMyRun and Nike+ Running. Available on: Android and iOS.
The Nike Training Club offers more than 100 free guided workout videos
for beginners all the way up to seasoned vets. The app also offers
four-week training programs for getting lean, toned or stronger which
are available for all fitness levels.
Fitocracy makes fitness fun. The app offers a variety of free workouts
to help get you in shape. You can also create your own workout plan
using the company's extensive workout database. Fitocracy was inspired
by MMORPG games like World of Warcraft. You gain experience points for
each successful workout just like you would in a game. You can then work
to unlock different achievements, raise your level and even complete
workout quests (challenges).
The Under Armour Record lets you log information on workouts and view all of your daily activity stats. The best part is the software works with nearly every popular fitness tracker. The Record app supports the Apple Watch, Fitbit, Withings, Jawbone, Misfit, Polar and Garmin, along with Under Armour's new Health Box.
Available on:Android and iOS.
8) Argus
Argus is a one-stop shop for tracking activities, workouts, weight and
sleep. You can also adds goals for caloric intake, water consumption,
sleep, walking and weight. There's no need for a fitness tracker, all of
this is done on your iPhone or Android device. It can even measure your
heart rate using the flash on your camera.
Spotify is a great app for listening to music during your workout. Many
people aren't aware of a a built-in feature called Spotify Running that
can automatically detect your tempo and play songs to match your pace.
It will make your runs more enjoyable. You can find the running feature
in the Browse section of the Spotify app.
