5 Free Smartphone Apps That Help You Lose Weight
If you use your Smartphone to manage everything from your schedule to your Twitter feeds, why not let it help you reach your weight loss goals? Here are five fitness apps that offer personal training-type help for free!
1. Nike Training Club
This app is like having a personal trainer in your phone. The wide selection of workout routines help you battle common weight-loss pitfalls, such as lack of fitness variety, while the video demos help you make sure you’re performing each rep effectively and safely. The app walks you through each exercise and times them, alerting you when you can move on and rest, much like a live trainer would prevent any cheating or slacking.
2. Lose It!
This fitness plan app for the iPhone boasts that the average user loses 12.3 pounds and that 96% of users that use it for just four weeks saw results. But Lose It isn’t just a quick diet fix. It’s a tool to help you change your lifestyle for lasting results. The comprehensive nature of Lose It allows you to create a personalized dieting and exercise plan that works for your lifestyle. Input your meals and exercises to track your progress so you stay motivated as you see the weight fall off. Genius!

3. My-Calorie-Counter
If you don’t want your fitness plan interfering with your bustling social life but still want to make healthy choices when you’re on the go, this handheld nutritional database might be your solution! Find nutritional information for your favorite foods whether you’re at a restaurant, grocery store, or surveying the contents of your refrigerator by searching the stats on your food at www.my-calorie-counter.com/mobile.
4. StepTrackLite
A great way to make a lasting lifestyle change is to learn how to integrate your fitness plan into your everyday reality. And tracking your steps and the level of exercise you perform both shows you how easy it is to make working out as integral as daily meals and keeps you motivated to push it a little harder each day. This iPhone app acts as a simple pedometer to measure and track your physical activity whether you’re running on a treadmill or simply going about your day.
