Practical, they allow you to maintain your physical shape at any time without a large financial investment and without necessarily resorting to gym equipment.
But how do you choose the best app for you? Below, you can find a list of the main ones: fitness apps for cell phones.
Mobile fitness apps
Runtastic
Runtastic is a mobile app from the Adidas group designed primarily for runners, but also adapts to about fifty other sports. It is available in a free version and with a premium subscription to unlock all its features.
The simplest (and free) use of Runtastic allows you to track your sports sessions: real-time progress, tracking of the data you are interested in, performance report, etc.
Thanks to your smartphone's GPS, Runtastic calculates your speed, distance traveled, time per km, calories burned, etc. This data can be configured according to your preferences.
At the end, a summary of your training session will allow you to track your results and share them on social media.
MyFitnessPal
MyFitnessPal is a calorie counter that aims to help you lose weight. Once you have set your goals (based on your weight, height, age, etc.), the app records and indicates the number of calories you consume daily according to your target limit.
To support you in your efforts, MyFitnessPal has a large food database that lists the nutritional information for over 4 million foods.
Additionally, the app can use your smartphone's built-in step counter to calculate the number of calories burned in order to deduct them from your daily quota.
