Do you make the same fitness resolutions every single year? A lot of us actively exercise in the beginning of the year and then gradually taper out due to the laziness. We also lose motivation because we feel that it is not making any difference to our body. Always remember that getting in shape is a very slow and gradual process. It takes months of hard work and perseverance to see a considerable change in the way you look.
Technology has taken the lead in various walks of life in different forms. A lot of people these days are keen on tracking their fitness regime in their fingertips. Fitness is not just about your muscles being healthy but also about your skin and other vital organs related to it. A lot of companies are coming up with interesting applications to assist people with their fitness plans. Here are a few applications available in the market for free to give you the boost that’s required to be consistent.

1. Pact: This is quite an interesting app that lets you earn and lose money based on the targets you set up for yourself. This app requires you to set your own daily targets ranging from the distance you run, calories you consume, number of times you climb stairs, etc. Every time you achieve your target for the day, the app rewards you but every time you miss out, you will be charged heavily on your pocket.

2. Fooducate: This is a health app that helps you record and track your calories as and when you eat and also gives you the nutrition grade of food packets when you scan the barcode that’s available on the packet. If the food item gets a negative grade, this app gives you better alternatives.

3. First Run: If you are just planning to run a 5K or a 10K, this is the best app available in the market that will give you the motivation required to do it. It gives you fitness instructions and goal guides to help you get fit for the run in just a few weeks.

4. Mindshift: This app comes in handy for those people finding it difficult to deal with stress and anxiety. It helps you set up a personalized plan once you let the app know how you feel about a particular situation. The tools include inspirational quotes, stories and will give you instructions like take 10 deep breaths, shake your hands and legs, splash water on your face, etc.

5. iDance: This app lets you mix and match from amongst 225 different dance moves based on your interests and lets you create your own personal dance routine. This app comes pre-loaded with interesting instructional videos and step-by-step tutorials which you can also share with friends and do it along with them.

6. FitBit: All of us are quite familiar about Fitbit watches available in the market. They do quite a good job in tracking one’s daily movements including the workout sessions. Usually the app is used along with the wrist watch but it can also be used independently. You can thus watch your calories burn their way out as you are on the move.
