Best Health and Fitness Apps

1.) Map my run (free)- I use this daily. It tracks different workouts through GPS, or you can manually log exercise by the distance and duration. My favorite part is the challenges. I'm a competitive person, so it really pushes me.

2.) Lose it (free)- Tracks meals, exercise, and nutrition. It also has social features to keep you motivated.

3.) Calorie Counter Diet Tracker by My Fitness Pal (free)- It is what it says: a calorie counter. I don't count my calories anymore, but I do use it for motivation. You can now post progress pictures.

4.) Sleep Cycle Alarm (free)- Determines your sleep pattern, and wakes you up during the lightest sleep phase.

5.) Body Space (free)- A social fitness app that gives you different workouts to try.

6.) Steps Pedometer and Step Counter (free)-  Set goals and track how far you've walked along with how many steps you've took.

7.) Calm (free)- Mindfulness meditation app with breathing techniques and calming sound effects.

8.) My Diet Coach (free)- Counts calories and keeps you motivated with tips and quotes.

9.) Sworkit (free)- You can choose a workout or personalize your own.

10.) Daily Workouts (free)- Customize your own workouts.

11.) Lifesum (free)- Helps you make healthier food choices, and also helps with exercise.

12.) Zipongo (free) - Provides healthy recipes as well as coupons.

13.) Simple Yoga (free)- Definitely not as good as the next app listed, but I wanted to provide a free alternative. You can not customize, but you do have your own "personal trainer."

14.) Yoga Studio ($3.99)- Use already created classes or customize your own.
