5 Great Apps To Bring In A Healthy New Year


Hooked on technology?  Here are 5 great health app's to ring in a healthier New Year!

1) iFitness- Have you ever started at a new gym and felt self-conscious about how to properly do an exercise?  You see all the weathered gym veterans using extra care in not what they do, but how they do it?  This is a great app to show you how to do the exercise correctly, without having to drag along a book. There are over 300 exercises to choose from, and each one is explained with pictures and some video. If you want to target one part of your body, you can pick exercises targeted exclusively for that area. You can also keep track of your BMI, weight, and food on iFitness.

2) Pocket Yoga- This app offers three different types of yoga at three different levels for three varying durations, which means you'll have the choice to pick between 27 different routines. The app provides excellent depictions of the poses in case you need to check yourself. Another great feature is that it allows you to play your own music from your iPod if you want to.

3) Get Running- If you have trouble staying motivated while your out on a run, this app may be perfect for you. "Get Running" says encouraging and motivating things into your headphones while you run, which helps you keep going.

4) iHormones- 
Did you know you cannot work out as efficiently, lose weight and build muscle if your hormones are not in check.  This problem is, many people don’t know the facts and fall into ‘mis guided’ information because most schools of medicine don’t teach it optimally.  And it’s not just hormones!  You get references, resources, nutrition, food charts and more.

5) My Fitness Pal
This app is the closest thing to a personal trainer you can get on a phone. It has tons of recipes and workouts and it helps you figure out how many calories you’re burning so you can make sure you stay on track.
