As the tech savvy community that we are, we spend most of our time working in front of our computers and mobile devices. As a result, we often let our health take the back seat, never really finding the time to go to the gym or a fitness class and more often than not choosing fast food over much healthier options.
This is especially true for workaholic freelancers who sometimes work longer hours than their office-bound counterparts. So here we're going to share some apps which will help you to make you healthy and fit.
MyFitnessPal
This
is my favorite weight loss and diet smart app. You just have to input
your height, weight, age, sex and other specs and the app will recommend
you how many calories you must take, how many miles your should
walk/run to lose the weight you want in the specified time. MyFitnessPal
draws aesthetically pleasing and usable graphs to let you know your
progress each week. You can mesh a social touch by adding friends,
competing with them in weight loss race thus making things more fun and
pushy.
Lose It!
This
is a great nifty little app which lets you count the calorie of each
food product just by its packet barcode. For example if you in a grocery
store and solving the riddles of calorie counts of the products you
want to eat, just use this app, swipe it in front of the barcode of the
product packet using your phone and the calories of it will be shown on
your phone. Lose It also tells you how many weeks you should persist on
your workout to lose the weight you want.
RunKeeper
RunKeeper
is best for all those who have taken the exercise, workouts and jogging
as their primary motive and measure to lose weight (its the best). Just
turn on RunKeepr in your smart phone, start jogging, running cycling or
walking, the app will keep you pushing just like a coach to keep up a
specific pace in your movements. At the end of your workout, it will
break down the complete stats to show you your progress and how much
calories you burnt.
Fitness Buddy
For
all the beginners who are confused about doing exercise the right way,
Fitness Buddy is for you. There are both free and paid version. The paid
version has 1,400 exercises, HD videos, body metrics tracking and more
whereas the free version also assist you about thousands of famous
useful exercises.
Gympact
Gympact
is a free app to keep your health resolutions. With this app you can
set your exercises and track your goals. It uses your phone GPS and
accelerometer to keep track of your workouts at park or at Gym.
Take
photos of your meals or vote for your friends photos. With this app you
can connect with other fitness apps like MyFitnessPal. You can even
earn money for doing exercises, get notified of your earnings each week.
Mobile
apps are the 21st century’s addition to the endless array of tools
designed to help you meet your health and fitness goals. With any tool,
you must remember that they are designed to help you achieve a goal.
They don’t do it for you. So if you think these 5 fitness apps are
going to solve all of your problems where others have failed before,
they won’t. You are the only thing that’s going to help you to “be 1%
better every day”.
