Top 5 Helpful Fitness Apps

When it comes to fitness having a few good quality mobility apps around is a great way to help keep the motivation going and give a focus on training. They allow you to know at a glance your progress and where you need to do a little more work or change your exercises to properly balance out your training. If you do not have time to get to the gym or you do not have a coach or trainer you can use your apps to help with your mobility exercises and also to learn the proper form. Even if you go regularly to the gym and have coaching or belong to a group class, fitness and mobility apps are a great way to give you direction and a point to aim for when exercising either alone or in a group.

The best five fitness and mobility apps I have found are:

1. BODYSPACE

This app is very helpful for beginners and veterans alike. It allows you to follow other people’s work routines or create your own workouts. It’s very easy to change workout or routines as well as working on different body areas with a variety of equipment. Each exercise has a tutorial showing the correct way and from to do it as well as tools for keeping track of your workout history.

2. "GET RUNNING" which is a –COUCH 25K- app

This app will encourage you to start your fitness routine with running and give you all the details of your progress and the tools to improve one step at a time.
