Mobile health apps are increasingly popular these days. It’s not just
the fitness enthusiasts who plan their diet and workout; the average man
is using these health apps to track his calorie count and even the
number of steps clocked each day.
Here are five easy-to-use apps that we’ve tried and liked. Best of all, they are absolutely free!
In no particular order…
1. Fitbit
What I like about the app: Fitbit takes sleep seriously. Sleep lowers
the risk of health diseases. Besides that, researchers from the
University of Chicago found that 56% of people who diet loss more fat
than those who don’t. People who sleep less are found to be hungrier as
well. Fitbit wants a weekly sleep goal, has bedtime reminders and has
waking up targets.
You may forget to hydrate yourself thoroughly after a workout. Fitbit tracks your water intake throughout the day.
You don’t need a fitbit watch to use this app. Also, you can analyse your health statistics on your computer.
Available on: Android and iOS
2. SenseMe (Pedometer & Fitness Tracker)
What I like about the app: All-in-one app. Besides the usual pedometer
(to count the number of steps taken), SenseMe tracks your sleep, calorie
count, most fitness activities, like swimming and yoga, route taken
etc. Basically, all basic health-related needs are covered here.
Interestingly, you can track your heart rate just by placing your
fingertip on the camera lens. I wonder how this technology works..
Available on: Android
3. Google Fit
What I like about the app: It’s by Google. Smart and simple.
You can capture all your fitness data from other fitness apps, such as
Runkeeper and Runtastic, here. Fret not, you may delete your data by
clicking the Menu >Settings button if you are troubled that Google
has all your data.
Find your handphone too heavy when jogging? Google Fit is preloaded on Android Wear watches.
Available on: Android
4. Runtastic
What I like about the app: If you can’t run physically with your buddy,
you can do it virtually here. Connect with your friends and other
fitness enthusiasts from the Runtastic family, challenge one another and
get to the leaderboard.
If you feel lethargic and are
procrastinating to keep to your fitness schedule, immerse yourself with
Story Running. Find yourself in wonderland (yes, there’s music playing
in the background to create such atmosphere) or motivation-land where
you hear a cheerleader repeating, "keep going".
Sadly, to enjoy
Training Plans engineered by fitness professionals, a small sum is
required. These training plans range from losing weight to preparing for
a marathon. Not sure how useful they are yet though.
Available on: Android and iOS
5. MyFitnessPal (Calorie Counter)
What I like about the app: Food tracking. MyFitnessPal has a gargantuan
food database – over six million cuisines in its database. You can also
scan barcodes to log food, log in restaurants’ menu, create your own
recipes and most importantly, learn to make healthier food choices.
