In these days of smart phones and free internet, where the Mayor of London indulges us all in underground wifi and you spend all day plugged into the world wide web from one device or other, webless activities like fitness can get squeezed to the sidelines.
Fitness, you say? There’s an app for that.
Hook your love of fitness into your love of smartphones and download yourself an app to boost your workouts. Kick start with the simple and popular – Nike+ GPS. It clocks the number of miles you’ve run and tracks a map for you to look at. No need to enter directions – this app plots your progress as you run. Or there’s the ThinQ Fitness app, with dozens upon dozens of fitness videos for you to peruse, free. If you’re keeping track of your diet, Tap & Track Calorie Counter is your best bet: for £2.49 it keeps track of calories eaten, calories burned, intake levels of carb, protein, fat, fibre, sodium, sugar and more, and sets you weight goals and diet plans. What’s more, it’s easy to personalise – you can add food and recipes, and the app boasts a database of 180 exercises to help you keep your fitness level.
