So, it’s the time of year where we’ve just gotten over Thanksgiving and now the sprint towards Christmas has begun, making all the food you ate last week a reminder that you’re only going to eat more come Christmas. Well, thankfully, the Android platform we all know and love so much has a lot to offer when it comes to fitness and there are some brilliant apps out there to either keep you fit or, to get you into shape. It’s time again for another Top 10 from Android Headlines, and this time we’re here to bring you the best suggestions when it comes to fitness apps. Read on to find out our Top 10.
I know what you’re thinking, this isn’t really a fitness app, is it? Well, not really but, it all starts with good food and it’s often daunting to listen to recipes from a dieting book or a super-skinny friend. With as many recipes as this has at your fingertips you can easily choose something that you might like and isn’t high in fats or sugars. Getting a taste for cooking yourself – or with friends and family – is a good way to promote a healthier living. I could still stand to lose some weight but since I learnt to cook I’ve taken a better interest into what I’m putting into my stomach.
Keeping with the food idea here, often there’s not a lot of time to do exercise and while that sounds like an excuse some people simply cannot find the time. By watching what you eat you can control your intake without having to go on a nasty diet, of course this is a form of dieting but, if you make it work around you, you can find yourself a lot happier soon enough. Counting calories and keeping a food journal is often boring, but with a smartphone you can go into detail quickly and easily, without having to neccesarily dwell on it too much.
If you’re the type of person that does more weightlifting than anything else then you’ll know that it’s a serious workout and there are precautions to take. When lifting weights there is a definite right and wrong way to do anything, if you don’t follow the right way you could very well end up hurting yourself quite badly. Thankfully, there are professionals out there that have brought us apps like this one, to tell us the right way and the wrong way. If you have a serious set up at home, then it’s an especially good idea to make sure you know what you’re doing, you wouldn’t want to be caught injured without anyone around to help now would you?
Often when we talk about fitness and keeping healthy, it doesn’t always make for interesting conversations and is pretty boring at times. To get yourself motivated in something, the best thing is to try something different and something engaging. With Zombies, Run! you’re asked to try something new but putting your running shoes on, plugging your headphones in and then running for your life. It starts off as an eerie audio adventure but soon they catch up to you and you’ve got to keep running to keep the Zombies off of you. It might sound a little gimmicky but something like this is definitely going to get your heart rate up and get you in a sweat.
Counting your intake can be really boring but, it can be a simple and yet very effective step to getting yourself a little healthier. Understanding what you’re eating on a day-to-day basis will help to encourage a culture of healthy eating, if you stick at it. Having to count food and limit yourself is hardly anybody’s idea of fun but, you can’t keep yourself healthy through exercise alone. Watching what you eat is a big part of it all and with this app here you can keep track of the counts through a number of means and the app comes with thousand of photos to make it a little easier as well.
