Getting the Most Out Of Your iPhone Exercise Apps

With dozens of iPhone exercise apps available, you will be tempted to download as many as you can find – and you have probably done so, too.But even with several exercise apps on your smartphone, you will still not be fit and fab if and when you fail to maximize them. Here are a few things that you should know about getting the most out of your downloaded apps.

Actually Use Them

Your zeal in downloading iPhone running apps will be in vain when you continue with your couch potato habits. You have to get up, run a few miles each day or every other day, and actually use the features on your running apps! You will be able to maximize their functions and features, such as tracking and recording your distance travelled, heartbeat rate, and speed, when you put them to their intended use.

You should ideally explore the features of each app so that you will be able to use them well. For example, you can use the heartbeat rate feature on a running app for your high-intensity interval training program (i.e., sprint, brisk walk, and sprint cycle for 30 minutes).

Keep Your Phone Safe

With the physical movements involved, you should keep your smartphone safe and secure preferably near your body. But don’t settle for the traditional armband case since it is not as safe and secure as you believe it to be, not to mention that it can get in the way of your movements. Instead, you should use a slim and stylish iPhone clip case that can be securely attached to your clothing without it adding bulk and weight.

Of course, the iPhone clip-on case can also be used in other non-exercise activities. You can, for example, use it at the office when you have your hands full with your bags and documents or at play with your buddies.

Up the Ante on Your Workout

Your body becomes complacent, so to speak, when it is subjected to the same exercises over and over again. You can increase your gains by adopting these tips:

• Limit your workouts but increase their intensity. A 30-minute workout with high intensity will likely be more effective than a 60-minute program with low intensity movements.
• Be sure to take the right nutrients and hydration in the right amounts at the right time. Protein and carbs are must in your diet before and after a workout while water should be taken at regular intervals to prevent dehydration.

Now that you know these things, you will also be able to choose the best iPhone apps that will suit your fitness goals instead of downloading every app that takes your fancy.
