IPhone: The Best Personal Trainer Money Can Buy
As the days of extended sunlight are just around the corner what better time to take a few minutes to devise a plan to shed that extra little bit of belly that appeared over the winter. Ah, but you have been down this road before, right? And weight loss hasn't been successful in the past, so what makes this year any different? This year you have a secret weapon. This year, the power of Steve Jobs will be in your pocket motivating you via your iPhone 4 as you stick to those fitness resolutions. Apps for the iPhone have come an incredibly long way from those released just a few years ago. They now tap into the power of GPS, Youtube, Quicktime, and harness the full capacity of what the Apple handset has to offer. Four fitness apps in particular seem to come out on top more often than not when it comes helpfulness and consistency, according to user reviews. Ranging from cross-country running to bench press heroes, these are some of the best apps that help you stick to your fitness regime. Go Swim - Free
Besides giving you updates on news in the world of swimming, and allowing you to interact with fellow swimmers worldwide, the Go Swim app provides easy to follow tutorials on how to get the most out of your swim, complete with videos and pictures. Not really sure how to do that butterfly stroke properly? Fear not, Go Swim is there for you. It also has tried and true training routines that you can experiment with to see what works best for you. The best part of this app is encouragement and teaching the technical aspects, letting you improve all of those little things that you normally need a coach for. The help from dozens of gold medallist swimmers only adds more to the power of the Go Swim app.
iMapMyRun Free
It is so refreshing to have an iPhone app that does exactly as advertised. Motivation for those who hate running, and reassurance for those who love it, this app gives you real time updates as you go through your routine. Using it is easy: Throw on your music, open the app, adjust your settings (voice cues, etc.), and hit start. When you are done just hit the stop button and observe all that you have conquered. It tracks your route with decent accuracy, your pace, your elevation change, and even your heart rate when used in conjunction with most monitors. You can share your route and workout with others through Twitter, Facebook, or email all at the touch of a button. And free? What more could you want? Gym Buddy - 1.79
Gymbuddy is for those who are less inclined for the cardio workout, those who are looking to bulk up and get that nice bulgy neck line. This is not a beginners app. It won't teach you how to do a curl or a rep on the incline, but it does provide an incredibly simple platform to record your sets, their weights, time they took, breaks in between, and anything else you could want to remember for later. It provides real time graphs compared against your history and allows you to export all of your data to excel so you can work with it any way your heart desires. All in Yoga: 200 Poses and Yoga Classes - 1.19
Ah yoga. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. It is incredibly challenging and rewarding, from the most petite woman to the largest muscle laden meat head. It has the capability to increase your quality of life from the very first adventure with it. The All in Yoga app breaks down positions, breathing techniques, and even meditation advice. But don't worry, the meat is in the exercise. There is a very rewarding training mode that walks you through routines with both text and videos, and offers soothing music in the background to help you focus. A calendar helps you think long term, a timer helps you think short term, scientific explanations of what is happening helps you to understand your body better, and live support is there to help when you get lost. All in all, a very solid app that will only get better on the iPhone 5 platform.
So make the most of the nice UK weather while it lasts, although the sun has just appeared for seemingly the first time in months, it is only a blink of an eye and winter is back. There are too many things that smartphones can do and they are being underutilised, so exercise that phone you have by having it help you stay in shape.
