My Favorite {Fit}tastic & FREE Smartphone Apps!

August 29, 2012

I got an iPhone about 3 months ago. Not sure how I managed to wait this long! It does things for me that I didn’t even know I needed done!

So I thought I’d share with you my 3 favorite fitness apps. I know there are a ton out there and there will always be more coming out, but let’s start here! (These are all available for both iphone and droid and did I mention…free?!)

1.) Songza

I love this app because it gives me a ton of music–sorted by moods, genre or anything else you can imagine—in playlists. I listen to this at home while cooking, cleaning or reading my Bible. I’ve recently started listening to it while running and it’s a nice change to my usual playlist. Here are some of my favorites. (I really like the 90’s music if you can’t tell! Haha!)

2.) Nike +Running

This should come as no surprise to you as a lot of folks seem to have this (and if you have a Facebook account, you know this is true!) I love that it tracks my distance and pace, keeps a history of runs and tells me (out loud) how far I’ve gone while running! And as an added bonus, you can turn on facebook interaction and as people “like” or comment on your Nike+ status, you get a cheer in your earbuds. Holla!

3.) Nike Training Club

So this gets the gold star of the year. As a matter of fact, if I ever created an app, it would look awfully close to this one! 

Start off by choosing which type of goal/workout you want or have.

Now you can choose from a few workout sets (and times!). Gives you great variety!

Read through each exercise (even view a video demo!), select your music and go! You can even work for rewards!

♥♥♥

So now it’s your turn! What are your favorite fitness/exercise/healthy eating apps??!?!

    I love the Nike Training Club app–have used it in hotel rooms and at home the other day when it was raining and I couldn’t go for a run. Great variety of workouts.

    Another favorite that I use daily is My Fitness Pal. I’ve used it for a couple of months now to track my food intake and it has made a huge difference.

    I have also used the Nike Training Club App and love it. Some of those work outs will really make you sweat!! I especially like the shorter targeted work outs for abs or arms or whatever I’m planning on working for the day. Definitely take advantage of some of the downloadable workouts too.

    I’ve used Loose It! for calorie tracking in the past when that was a need. I like that it links to an online account so the info can also be input from a computer and not just the app (and backed up). Big selection of foods and exercises.

    I like runtastic pro and fitness pro, similar to the above with a little more bling when you pay for them. 🙂 I like a nice variety..shakes things up and keeps the days interesting.

    Electric Miles – it’s a free app that syncs with my DailyMile account. The app isn’t great, but I like that I can quickly log a workout via my iphone, and then I often will edit or add details when I’m logged into the DailyMile website on my computer.

    TargetWeight ($1.99) – I know some people don’t like scales, but I like to weigh daily and keep track of my weight. The app puts all of the entries onto a graph, and you can see your weight increase/decrease for a selected period of time.

    I like the Seconds app (free), but I LOVE the Seconds Pro ($4.99) app. It’s a great timer app for HIITs, and I will often put an entire 50-60 minute workout in there. The pro version has some pre-programmed workouts from Bodyrock.tv and Men’s Health.

    Another (not free) app that I like is Tabata Pro ($2.99). It’s my favorite tabata timer.
