Health and Fitness: 5 apps to help you exercise | The Road Ahead ...

Modern technology can be a replacement for your gym buddy, thanks to a number of exercise and health-focused apps downloadable to your phone.

5 apps that can help to encourage your health and fitness regime include:

1. GymPact:?To use this iPhone application, enter your credit card details and the amount of times you pledge to exercise that week. You then check into the iPhone each time you make a visit to the gym and, every time a session is missed, you incur a fine. Some of the money raised is then divided up amongst those who made it to every session.
2. My Plate:?This app focuses on encouraging knowledge about eating a healthy diet. Enter in your statistics and target weight loss and it will calculate a daily calorie goal. At the end of each day, you can enter the meals you have eaten and the exercise undertaken and it will calculate your average weight loss. This app is available on iPhones and androids.
3. FitnessBuilder: The free iPhone app will act as a personal trainer and offer you options for a successful workout. It features exercises, videos and workout instructions (step-by-step) as well as the ability to track your progress.
4. Yoga Stretch: Yoga lovers can download this app, which contains an hour-long session to follow, as well as the ability to customise your own. Positions are illustrated with instructions, and there is also the added assistance of a recorded guide.
5. iTreadmill: This app is a pedometer that cleverly calculates the length of your personal stride, and counts the steps, distance and calories burned. You can also listen to music and answer calls while you are using the workout app.

When losing weight, or trying to improve your health, it can help to keep a food diary. Find out more about this here.
