Is there an app for that? Fitness Style

There are so many apps out there how do you know what is best to do and what can help and what can hurt your fitness goals.  Below are some of the best fitness apps that I have found that help myself and my clients achieve the goals they are looking for.  All apps below are free! 

  1. My Fitness Pal- This is a great site for people who want to log their food.  You can download it to your phone and ipad.  It already has thousands of foods listed all you have to do is scan the label of the food or save your favorite meals.  My only complaint on the phone it is hard to see specifics of how many grams of carbs, sugars, proteins, etc that you have had that day. 
  2. Om Finder- If you enjoy yoga the om finder helps you find a yoga class in your area no matter where your located. 
  3. 101 Ways- If your looking for a fitness tip or motivation of the day this is a great app for you.  Each day it posts a new fact, or motivational piece to help you achieve your goals. 
  4. Daily ab workout- If your looking for a new workout each day to challenge those abs this app does just that.  It will tell you how many exercises you have left, and how long each exercise should be done for.  You also get a video showing a person doing the routine you should be doing.  You also can pick how long of a workout you would like to do.  
  5. 7 Minute workout (high intensity)- This app not only counts down and makes dings every time your doing your routine it tells you exactly what to do.  It builds in 10 second rest periods as well.  You also have the choice to stop or pause the routine if you need to. The downfall you don't have a lot of variety with this app. 
  6. Fitness Buddy- This is a great app if your looking for a workout in either beginner, intermediate or advanced.  You can share your workouts with others or read others workouts.  You also can log your workouts in the calendar that is available with the app. 
  7. Pinterest- Pinterest has some workout and fitness boards that have good ideas on how to get a great workout in or some motivational and inspirational activities.
