Best Health Apps To Get Fit


There does come a time when we look down at our own flabby self and give ourselves a break from all the Angry Bird craziness ensuing on our smartphone screen and go for a jog. We decided to give you the much-needed motivational nudge and combine the mundane exercise routine with some gizmo and gadgetry!
Here are a bunch of health and fitness apps that you can download for your smartphone that will help you get back in shape, or keep yourself fit the right way!

1. WebMD

We tend to get worried about frivolous things regarding our health and well-being time and again and since we’re too embarrassed to visit the doctor for everything, a sudden urge to google the symptoms swells up. In such a case, WebMD offers the perfect solution in which all you need to do is add some personal detail and narrow down our symptoms and the app does the rest. It gives you a rough diagnosis of what might be wrong with you and even offers treatment for the same. Oh, and it can be highly resourceful during a First-Aid emergency.

2. Sleep Cycle

Getting rudely awakened from our deep sleepby an annoying alarm clock is the worst way to kickstart a morning. And the only cure to all of that is the Sleep Cycle. This app smartly clubs itself to your phone’s accelerometer and tracks your movement in your sleep. And whenever it senses that you’re sleep is the lightest, it’ll ring the bell! Don’t worry though, it’ll wake you up around a 30-minute window frame of your set time so that your schedule doesn’t get messy.

3. Fitness Buddy

Fitness Buddy is a fitness buddy in the truest sense, and a smart one at that. Usually we get confused about which workout to execute to flex our muscles the right way and Fitness Buddy does just that!

Today’s calorie conscious beings create a huge fuss regarding the amount of calorie that goes into their tummy, and the amount they burn. But that would seem like a worry of yesterday, all thanks to MyFitnessPal Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker. This app keeps a track on the amount of calories that you have consumed and the amount that you have burned through exercising or your daily routine. Perfect for fitness freaks.
