With good health more of a concern than ever and Australia
officially the fattest country in the world (gasp!) it's time we all did
something about getting fit and improving our overall health. While
computers and mobile phones have long been touted as the reason all of
us are getting so unfit, the advent of iPhone fitness applications means
that they may soon become our saviours! Whether you're a computer
repairs technician or someone with only the most rudimentary knowledge
of how smart-phones work, there's sure to be an app that can help you
with your health goals--it's just a matter of finding one! So dust off
the jogging shoes, get out your iPhone and let's have a look at the top 4
apps for fitness!
RunMate
If, like many other Australians, you've always wanted to improve on your running, or you want to run for fitness but are a little intimidated as to where to start, this application is for you. With tailored interval training and a progress tracker, this app guides you step-by-step (no pun intended) into running your first 5 kilometres!
iPump Pilates
Pilates is one of the best ways to tone and shape lean, beautiful bodies, and this handy application is just as good as having a personal instructor in the room with you! With detailed pictures of how to perform exercises and the ability to customise pilates workouts based on the areas you want to work on this application will have you shapely, flexible and looking good for Summer!
iFitness
This app allows you to not only track your fitness but to improve on things like calorie-burning, weight-lifting techniques, progress-monitoring and loads of other areas of your workout. With iFitness you can really customise your fitness schedule so that it stays fresh and you stay motivated!
iYoga
If a more relaxed workout is your style then iYoga is the perfect app with which to blend calming stretches with health-improving muscle sculpting. iYoga has detailed pictures, calming music and a beginner's, intermediate and advanced level so that as your skill improves, so does the difficulty of your moves. A must for all yoga enthusiasts and people interested in giving it a go!
The best thing about iPhone applications is that unlike a lot of computer programs that help with fitness, you don't encounter problems and complexities that have you calling the computer support service every 5 minutes. They are not only easy to use, but portable and convenient so that you can make the most of them whenever the mood takes you. In addition to this, most apps have an integrated reminder schedule which means that you'll never forget a workout--kind of like having a mini personal trainer in your pocket spurring you on!
