If you’re like many, January brings a renewed interest in fitness. You’re committed to working out more, eating better and losing weight. And after you accomplish all of those, you’re hoping to be happier.
And you will be. Research supports that.
Yes, getting in shape actually makes you happier. According to a study at Penn State, people who are active and in shape are actually happier. Not only are endorphins released when you’re working out, but the results from being in shape make you look and feel great.
So, we’ve picked 5 apps to help you accomplish your fitness goals and be delighted with the results.
Navy SEAL Fitness – If you’re looking for a great motivator to get back in shape, this app is the ultimate in hardcore exercise. Although it’s more like a textbook than an instructional aid, Navy SEAL Fitness covers every topic related to fitness – from cardio to stretching to nutrition. If you’re serious about changing your exercise ways, this app will definitely guide you.
Wellness Tip of the Day – This app is on another end of the spectrum when it comes to motivation. Wellness Tip of the Day provides health tips from the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic. Just as its name suggests, you’ll get one tip per day to inspire you to reach new levels of healthy living.
FitnessBuilder – If you really want a host of options to help you get back in shape, then this is the app for you. FitnessBuilder sorts workout ideas and videos by location – inside, outside, hotel room – by type – cardio, yoga, weights – and by goal – flexibility, weight loss or conditions. There is even an added feature where you can ask a personal trainer a specific question – right from the app.
Ease into 5K – Maybe you’re not into a variety of workouts – you just like to run. Plus maybe you’re working toward competing in a 5K event. Ease into 5K starts you out with the basics of how to train for the run and will have you at that goal in just 9 weeks. The app actually interrupts your musical playlist to advise you when to switch from walking to running and so on. Plus it logs your progress so you can measure how well you’re doing.
Good Food Healthy Recipes – When it comes right down to it, your health and wellness are based on what you eat. You not only need to dine right, you need to enjoy what you eat. Good Food Healthy Recipes isn’t really geared to help you lose weight fast, but it will offer you delicious options of sensible foods – that taste good too. With a suggested meal plan for just about every situation, this app will help you power up and be ready to lead an active life.
With thousands of fitness apps available, give one of these a try – or find one that fits your needs – to help you reach your fitness goals this year.
