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.

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

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?
Has anyone tried these apps?
ReplyDeleteHi Rose,
DeleteI 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.
Thanks Bee! The running club sounds like a great idea I will have to check that out... any extra motivation is very helpful. Totally with you on the long workouts!!
