in Fitness and Exercise
Hi, I am loving the C25K and enjoyed the free trial of pocket trainer (doesn't play music easily on the app) . I am wondering if any of you knows of any other great exercise apps. I'd like a great kettlebell app and a great personal trainer type app, but any suggestions of your favorites and I'll check them out. I would reallllllly like to be able to play music through the apps.

    I use the free pedometer when I go for outside walks because it tracks the miles I walk by GPS, the pedometer itself isn't too reliable I think. I think theres other GPS tracker that do the same but I hvan't tried them.

    Now that I'm finished with c25k but still running, I use Runkeeper to track my route, pace & distance, and it plays music through the app.

    i use mapmyfitness.com
    it calculates distance, avg speed, cals burnt and much more. its easy to use and to set up. It works on gps/phone signal and also you can play your itunes through it. plus factor its FREE! i love it and cant stop using it even if its just walking to post a letter or go to the shop down the road.
    it also includes running, walking, dog walking, cycling, bmx, mountain bikes etc etc.
    Awesome app

    Endomondo : to keep track of your calories burnt. works using GPS signal. (calculates using distance traveled/ your body weight and time).

    Monitor my weight: for weight logging, see the trends etc.

    Both are free apps :)

    I have the following which I quite like:

    "Leg Workouts" (icon is a little orange square with a white leg doing a lunge)
    "Arm Workouts" (red square with a white arm lifting a weight)
    "Push ups" (blue square with a white figure of a man doing a push up)
    "Butt Workouts" (pink square with a white torso doing a leg extension)

    They were all free apps! Each one has exercise routines which you can choose by level of difficulty and which you can edit to include your favourite exercises. The routines change every time you do them as well so you don't get fed up of doing the same thing over and over again.

    Once you've chosen a routine you press 'play' and a voice talks you through the exercise by telling you which one your on and counting you through the reps. You can change the speed etc to suit yourself as well. :)

    British Millitary Fitness is great for the personal trainer - excercises to be done outside though....

    and also there is a free app, from BUPA but I havent used this yet so unable to pass comment.

    Thanks

    hi!

    i am kinda addicted to the lolo apps.

    i have the lolofit abs, arms, legs, yoga, and boot camp apps and they work really well for me. i love love them.

    because i have so much room for improvement i find it hard to stay motivated throughout a routine, so being able to just press play and follow the instructions for 10 mins is really helpful. it tends to remove the need for will power and the seemingly continuous battle i might do with my mind when it wants me to take "breaks".

    i also have the running, cycling, and elliptical lolo apps, but i don't use them very much because i usually spend my cardio time doing a marathon training routine.

    oh! and i also use the 100 pushups app. but i only do half pushups so far. hopefully i'll get through 100 half pushups and be able to do a few regular ones like a grow up. hah ....................and then start the program again.
