I'm a 36 year old woman with 50-70lbs to lose. My car recently broke down and I can't get to the gym. What fitness apps do you find give you a good workout? What makes it a good app?

    This. It really depends on what you like to do for a workout. There's thousands of apps catered to different styles of exercise, so the more detailed you can be the better fit of an app you'll find!

    As you stated the goal of losing 70 lbs I would gently remind that weight loss is 20% your activity ovel and 80% what goes in your mouth.

    Absolutely work out (for other reasons) ... but if the overall goal is weight loss, be strict about your food consumption.

    I am aware of the eating part. I guess I wasnt clear. I lost over 120lbs thus far, so the type of fitness I'm looking for is toning and overall full body workouts. There are tons of apps, so I struggle to choose one.

    Congrats on your loss so far! I would encourage you to do some strength training. I lost 150 and did strength training from day 1. It really helped me be in a better place when I got to goal and I've continued 2+ years of maintenance. Here's a link to a thread with resources. Some of them have apps, but personally I don't find an app necessary.

    Stronglifts has an app you could use. Muscleandstrength.com has a ton of workout plans, I don't think there is an app.

    My bad for missunderstanding.

    I was using stronglifts, but have switched to jetfit as I added a couple of exercises and plan to add some more. But I used the stronglifts apps for ~ a year.
