5 Best Free Workout Apps

-



Sworkit: With a motto, “No Gym, No Excuse” you know you’re in for a good workout.  With Sworkit you can easily fit in 5 minutes (or more) of exercise.  Choose from strength training, cardio, yoga or stretching routines. This app is like having your own personal trainer in your living room, it uses audio so you can hear when it is time to change to the next exercise and also shows you the countdown on your screen. You can also choose from multiple pre-set workouts are create your own.

7 Minute Workout: If you are limited on time you need to try the 7 Minute Workout.  This workout is backed by peer-reviewed scientific research.  The researchers put together twelve of the best exercises to help you get into shape.  If you keep up with your daily routine you can unlock more exercise packages.  Some of the exercises include; jumping jacks, wall sit and crunches.

MapMyWalk/Run:  I really enjoy this app because it not only tracks your time and mileage, but also tracks your route.  I love seeing the actual map of my workout when I’m finished, and can visually see where and how for I went.  It’s a good tool to help challenge yourself.

Jetfit: If you are looking for more strength training and bodybuilding this app is for you.  It is loaded with thousands or routines sorted out by body parts.  This app offers detailed instructions, a planner, exercise log, and a timer.  I love that you are able to easily track your progress.


C25K: Interested in running a 5K, but still sitting on the couch?  Check out Couch to 5K, it has been designed to get just about anyone from their couch to running a 5K or 30 minutes in just 9 weeks.  The app starts you off slow with short intervals of walking and jogging and gradually increases the duration of intervals. 

What apps do you use that are must haves?

    1. Hi Rose,

      I use the MapMyRun app. We use it in our running club so it helps to see updates from friends that even if we don't really meet like we used to, we get encouraged to see how everyone is doing their daily runs. I am doing a 500 mile challenge http://homemadejoys.com/500-mile-challenge/ this year and mapmyrun has been extremely helpful. The 7 minute workout sounds good. Might try it one day since I am not into long workouts since I am a busy mom, hehe.
      Nice blog.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of New Disk Drill 3 for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you ever had that moment when you felt like you’ve lost all of your data, especially on your iPhone or iPad? We have had a few family members and friends lose their data due to various different reasons. They were all so upset thinking about all of the data they had lost and tried to figure out the best way to retrieve it. Calling customer service never seemed to worked and the options seemed limited. Disk Drill 3is a powerful data recovery app designed for both Mac and Windows platforms. Disk Drill is very easy to use, is chock full of new features and can help you retrieve your deleted data. Some new features include; bootable disk creation for data recovery, Android data recovery, file signatures for Deep Scan, faster byte-to-byte disk backups, and much more. Disk Drill can now speak Korean, Turkish, Arabic, Malaysian, Taiwanese.


I love that Disk Drill 3 is free for Windows…
