Rise of the Smartphone Industry & the Best Fitness Apps
How do you keep track of your workouts? Do you count your reps, sets, exercises and overall progress?
One of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to training is that they don’t keep a track record of their workouts. Why is this a problem? Well, if you don’t keep track of your workout sessions, how are you to know what works and what doesn’t work. You have no way of gauging whether the effort you are putting in is actually paying off.
A great way of keeping track of your workout sessions is by using what we call a workout journal. It’s a simple notebook where you can write down the dates of your workouts, the exercises you’re performing, the weights you are using and the set-rep combos you’re performing. After some time, you’ll have yourself a powerful resource that will help you fully optimize your workouts.
I used to use workout journals, but ever since I got my new smartphone, I’ve discovered the incredible world of fitness applications. Some of the best fitness apps out there are free and incredibly powerful.
One of the apps I have effectively used to replace my workout journal is of particular interest and I want to share my experiences with you here.
The name of the fitness app is Fitness Pro and its incredibly useful. The Fitness Pro app is essentially a large database of exercises and workouts. You can quickly search for new exercises to target specific muscle groups. You can customize your workouts or choose one of their preset routines. There are so many powerful features.
You can see how powerful this technology can be. There are so many fitness apps out there that allow you to track your training progress.
Whether you choose to go old-fashion with the workout journal or you decide to step it up to the smartphone applications, always keep track of your progress. It’s the only way you’ll continue seeing results.
I’ll be honest, it’s not easy to scoop out the top health and fitness applications on the market. I want to help you out a bit by giving you a heads-up on some the best fitness apps you can get for free.
