Looking to get fit this year? Here are some top fitness apps to help you
For many students, setting targets and challenges are things they do for the year. Being fit ready for the summer break is just one thing that students strive for. Fitness can sometimes be hard to fathom, but don’t worry, here are a few examples of top fitness apps to help you along the way.
MyFitnessPal is one of the biggest and best-known fitness apps out there. The app is free to download and use, and works as both a fitness tracker and calorie counting app. You enter your details, such as age, height and current weight, and set yourself targets. The app will then suggest targets as well as calorie intakes to help you reach your goal.
The app also counts your steps per day, as well as the number of calories burned to help you understand your fitness journey.
This app is great for recording your efforts for a whole host of activities, from running, swimming, and yoga. Being able to set your own goals will also help you motivate yourself and tailor your exercise regime to suit. The app is free to download and use but there is also a paid-for version that adds in extra features such as heart rate monitoring, audio progress updates and live location sharing.
Map My Fitness can also link into MyFitnessPal so that you can keep track of your progress in one place.
Running is a great way to get fit and to stay fit, plus, it means that you don’t have to fork out on a costly gym membership.
