You should never even consider starting a new fitness plan or working to get more in shape without installing some essentials on all of your devices. Here are the best apps to help guide your training regimen and make sure you’re staying on track:

1. MyFitnessPal

MyFitnessPal is the king of health and fitness apps. It covers everything health related, from counting calories and nutrients, to keeping track of water intake, to having a very user-friendly calorie counter. The cool thing about MyFitnessPal is that it features an intensive database of foods so you are never hunting down the number of calories in what you’re eating. In this way, it is a great informative resource as well as being a journal of calorie intake.

2. Fooducate

Continuing the calorie counting theme, Fooducate is an app that not only allows you to track your calories and food consumed, but also helps you figure out what foods are actually good or bad for you. It has a function that allows you to actually see the ingredients in your food to make sure that nothing is sneaking into seemingly healthy options.

3. Google Fit

Google Fit is the all-encompassing health app sponsored by Google. It is able to track steps and distance covered in a day, week, or month, as well as allowing you to track other workouts or means of exercise. Google Fit also supports a number of other fitness apps to help complement their abilities.

4. MyTrainer Diet Fitness Workout

This app focuses largely on workouts and looks at your BMI to calculate workout goals that will be most effective at helping you lose weight. It functions as a personal trainer of sorts to create a plan with incremental steps to obtaining a healthy BMI and also offers a variety of different workouts for you to choose from.

5. Pocket Yoga

Pocket Yoga is perfect for anytime you feel the need to just pick up and do some yoga. It features 27 different sessions based on your level of ability and has both pictures of the different poses and videos of how to do them. It also has a log where you can keep track of your workouts, poses you have learned, and sessions you have completed. Namaste.

6. Zombies, Run!

This is a running app with a deadly twist. Perfect for nerdy runners, this app sets up a zombie story that you need to run, walk, or jog to navigate. This is the next best option (besides Pokemon Go) to get you up and moving under the pretense of a video game.

7. C25K Couch to 5K by RunDouble

The premise of this app is that it will get you out of couch potato mode and running (at least) a 5k. It allows you to create music playlists for your runs and lays out different training plans for 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons for you to reference. It also features the normal tracking applications so you can keep track of distance and speed on your runs.

If you’re curious about other kinds of apps that are maybe less fitness related, make sure to check out some of PSafe’s other blog posts, like this one about the best apps for beer drinkers.
