With spring just around the corner, you may be panicking that you didn’t have time to get into perfect shape. The excuses may have piled up: this winter was brutal, I didn’t have time to go to the gym, etc. But don’t fret, there’s still time! We have compiled some of the must-have fitness apps to get your body spring break and beach ready!
1.) MapMyRun
Available on: iOS & Android (Free)
For all the runners out there, MapMyRun allows you to record your workout details including the time span, distance, pace, speed, elevation, and calories burned. It uses the GPS in your mobile to see the exact route you’ve traveled on the map and lets you view your workout history.
2.) Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker
Available on: iOS & Android (Free)
As the weather gets hotter, our lives get busier with a flurry of outdoor activities and adventures taking over our schedule. By counting calories for you and creating a personalized diet regimen, this app saves you time and hassle, allowing you to get on a weight loss schedule in no time!
3.) Nudge
Available on: iOS & Android (Free)
This all-in-one dashboard syncs with the most popular wearables to create an overall health score, The Nudge Factor. This number not only gives you an overall snapshot of your health so you know what areas need improvement (fitness, diet, sleep, etc.) but it also allows you to compare your progress with your friends and co-workers, regardless of what wearables they use.
4.) MapMyRide
Available on: iOS & Android (Free)
For those who prefer biking, this app is similar to MapMyRun as it incorporates all its features, allowing you to track your cycles. You can also use the app to find groups, routes, and events that suit your biking needs.
5.) 7 Minute Workout
Available on: iOS ($2.99) & Android (Free)
For those of us who want maximum results but don’t have a lot of time, 7 Minute Workout will generate a workout based around the science of high intensity circuit training to help increase results and decrease time commitment. With this app anyone with 7 minutes of free time daily can get in shape.
6.) Grokker
Available on: iOS (Free)
This app brings yoga, fitness and cooking all together in tutorial videos by experts. This way, by the time summer arrives, not only will you be slimmer, but you’ll be a yoga guru and next iron chef as well.
Try out these apps, and you will be ready for spring (and summer) in no time!
