Fitness Applications Fitness apps, can’t do the work of healthy living for you. However, early studies have found people who use these programs on their mobile devices may be more likely to stick with exercise routines. Apps that track progress and offer feedback seem to be best at helping people lose weight and keep active. Fitness apps can provide exercises tailored to your fitness level. Many can: • Measure running or walking distance • Track heart rate • Count calories • Help you plan healthy meals If this sounds rather ho-hum, consider that most apps are also designed to be fun. Many apps tally up points or give awards when fitness milestones are met. Others send you a timely pat-on-the-back text for a job well done. To find apps that are right for you, start by taking a look at your health and fitness goals. If you’ve set your sights on weight loss and improved fitness, look for apps that count calories and track activity levels. If you’re satisfied with your weight but want to improve flexibility or strength, seek out apps that focus on yoga or strength training. It’s a good idea to read the description of any app before you buy. Also, check out reviews from other users. Look for apps that have high ratings and lots of downloads (hundreds of thousands to millions). Remember that not all apps are created equal. If you can, try before you buy. Many apps offer free levels that can be upgraded for a small fee. Regards Sanjay Ayre.
