Move Your Body

Staying healthy and fit can be really challenging at times. If you happen to have an iPhone, there are numerous health and fitness apps that can help keep your work out organized, fresh and fun.  It’s important to change up your routine regularly and to keep it fun and exciting so you stay engaged.

Here are some of my fave health and fitness iPhone apps:

iFitness ($1.99) – With more than 150 different exercises ranging from machines, free weights, resistance balls and more, iFitness explains each exercise with clear descriptions and provides pictures to make your workout easy to follow.  I see people using this one in the gym all the time – they mark the exercises they like and save them for a future trip to the gym.

Runkeeper (FREE) – This app uses the iPhone’s built-in GPS system to track, map and view your progress during your workout.  Despite the name, RunKeeper is not just for running.  You can use this app for hiking, biking, skiing, etc.  No matter the exercise, RunKeeper tracks speed, duration, distance, and pace.

Restaurant Nutrition (FREE) - If you don’t cook often and find that you eat out a lot, this is the app for you.  You may change your mind on that “not cooking” part!  The Restaurant Nutrition app gives you all of the nutrition facts to the most popular chain restaurants around.  Once you click on the restaurant’s name, it is broken down to Breakfast, Lunch, Appetizers, Beverages, Dinner, etc.
