Good fitness is important for good health physically and mentally. It can decrease
pain, when done correctly, and can even decrease anxiety, depression, and stress.
Living in the digital age has its perks: No matter what your fitness goal is, there’s an
app that can help you accomplish it. Whether you’re aiming to lose weight, gain
stamina, improve your mood or lower your blood pressure, these apps will keep you
moving in the right direction.
1. MyFitnessPal
MyFitnessPal is a fast, easy and free way to track your meals and snacks. Simply add
foods from the database to your daily log, and it tracks your calorie intake, analyzes
the balance of your diet and recommends healthy choices and goals.
2. Fooducate
We’ve all been there – fooled by that “all-natural” granola you bought that turned
out to be full of sugar! Fooducate helps you avoid this: Scan a food’s bar-code to see
its personalized ingredient nutrition grade, along with an explanation and
suggestions for healthier alternatives.
3. Sworkit
Sworkit busts the “too busy to work out” excuse with customizable guided video
workouts that can last anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes. You can build your workouts
based on your fitness goals, desired difficulty and target body area.
4. Pocket Yoga
Pocket Yoga turns your living room into your own yoga studio. For $2.99, this app
offers 27 sessions with a range of duration and difficulties – just pick one, roll out
your mat, and get started! With voice and visual instructions guiding you through
each pose, it’s the perfect way to strengthen your body and your mind.
5. Sleep Cycle
With Sleep Cycle, you’ll never miss another A.M. workout. This alarm-clock app uses
your smartphone to track your movement and wakes you in your lightest stage of
sleep, so you wake up feeling rested and ready to tackle the day!
