My Favourite Fitness Apps


 I love my phone… It’s always in my hand and I always have it near by… So when I can incorporate it with my hobbies (ie. fitness) it’s a little win for me! Over the last year and a half of having my phone I’ve found three apps that allow me to combine my phone and my fitness!


So I thought I could share them with other phone lovers who want to incorporate these two aspects of their life like I did.

  • The first of my three favourites is Yogify by EA Sports. This app is a free download but you only get a limited number of free classes – after which each class is $1.99. So, although these classes do cost money they are way cheaper then an actually yoga class would be, you can do it in the comfort of your home AND you can do the class numerous times! Definitely a great deal!




Reasons to Love It!
- It provides programs based on what you want to improve. So, you have three choices: strength, balance and flexibility
- Not only do you get to pick your focus but you also get to choose your level (1-3). So it works for everyone, from starting out or professional!
-There is a range of times in each program. So once you have selected your focus and your level you can choose between 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes and an hour!

This app is free to download so check it out and see if you like it!

  •  The second of my favourite apps is Nike Training Club. This app is 100% free! It’s incredible the workouts that can all be done at home! In addition, many programs are without equipment, meaning you can spend $0 and still burn off those calories!




Reason to Love It!
- You can select a workout right for your schedule and goals! With programs from 15 minutes to 45 minutes and ranging from beginner to pro this app is another one perfect for everyone!
- Once you know your goals (burn fat, get toned, gain strength) they have programs tailored to your every need: Get Lean, Get Toned, Get Strong, Get Focused!
- This app tracks your progress and the amount of time you’ve spent working out with it! Over time you even get rewards! Smoothie recipe, bonus workouts from Pro athletes such as Olympic Gold Medalist on the Women’s soccer team for the USA, Hope Solo! The features with this app are almost endless!

If your goal falls into any of those categories (which it will!) download this app from the iTunes store.

  • My third favourite is My Fitness Pal! I have one word for this app – WOW! This app is again 100% free and 100% worth the download!


Note: This app was recommended to me because of my dietary needs and I have found it the best way to ensure I am getting enough calcium and vitamin B along with minerals contained in gluten products. If you have any dietary needs with application is a MUST for you to download!



Reasons to Love It!
- This app tracks the calories you consumer and the calories you burn. So, whether you’re a pro athlete and need to consume 3000 calories a day or your trying to lose weight and you want to consume 1200 calories a day this app will keep you on track!
- This app doesn’t just track your calories, it tracks all the fats you consume, sodium, sugars, vitamins and so much more!
- One feature that I love about this app is it has so many foods already programed into it! You can so on and check the amount of calories in anything and everything!
- The best part about this app is that it’s all in one place! Your calorie intake, what you need to eat more of, what you need to avoid! It’s all here!

Download this free app from the iTunes store!

I hope you found this helpful and has inspired some other phone obsessed people to get their butts moving!

Love, Peace & Yoga,
Laura
