Aaptiv
Download Aaptiv, take a quick fitness quiz about your goals, and get going. The app will set you up with workouts to do on your favorite cardio(有氧的) machine, at home on a yoga mat, or outside. Where this app stands out: It pairs audio instructions from instructors and personal trainers with songs you love—not boring, canned beats—so it’s more engaging than most recorded workouts. It’s basically like your favorite cycling class in the palm of your hands.
MyFitnessPal
Another app that pairs workouts with a nutrition plan. This free app tracks your personal diet and exercise to determine the best calorie intake based on your body type and workouts. It even gives you the ability to scan food bar codes or enter them by hand to get accurate calorie and nutrient counts.
MyFitnessPal is great at helping people become more aware of their eating habits. It may not be the most accurate at times, but just by having people become more conscious of the foods and drinks they’re putting into their body is a huge win.
