Health And Fitness Apps For Your iPhone

By Thom Yarbrough

Technology might have made us lazier than we ought to be,
but there are some ways in which we can actually reverse the
process and make technology work for us so we can become
healthier. Some people might be aware of the various apps on
iTunes which help you regain your health and fitness
patterns as before, but there are so many of them out there
that we often don't know which ones would be most helpful
for us. Here's a look at some of these apps for your iPhone
which will help you regain a measure of fitness at least.

Yoga Tutorial

It's clear that yoga helps not just in physical fitness but
also mental, it helps let go of feelings of stress toward
life. While all of us have a keen interest in learning yoga
to better our lives and bodies, we often don't know where to
begin. The Yoga Tutorial in iTunes is all you need to know
about yoga app that will help you be more aware before you
begin your tryst with the magic of yoga. With this app, you
will be connected to various videos that demonstrate how
yoga needs to be performed accurately, and also give you
numerous yoga related songs that are sure to give you a
sense of relaxation.

Eight Glasses a Day

We've heard it a million times, we've tried to practice it,
but it just gets so hard to remember to drink eight glasses
of water every day for a healthy body. Our forgetfulness
usually leads us to drink about four or five glasses a day
and that's about it. What if you could keep track of the
number of glasses of water you've had in a day? Wouldn't
that be so convenient? Now that is possible with the Eight
Glasses a Day app that will do the job of reminding you!
Once you get this app for your iPhone, you'll see eight full
glasses of water on your screen, and as you drink a glass of
water all you need to do is tap tone glass, which will then
show as empty! If you do finish all eight glasses in a day,
you'll get the benefit of some cool facts as to why drinking
water helps us. Just what the doctor ordered!

Six Pack App

If you've always craved to have the body of a model,
especially the rock hard six pack abs, then this app might
put you on a path towards realizing that dream. Download the
Six Pack App from iTunes and check out the different
exercises, more than 400 pictures and detailed descriptions
on how to target your chest, shoulders, back, legs, biceps
and triceps. Surely a valuable app for the fitness fanatic,
and what's more, it's completely free!

Meal Diary

Often we tend to put on weight because of binging on food
and eating more than we should. How does one keep track of
all that one eats during a day? Earlier on, experts
suggested using a diary to keep track of intake of meals,
but in the new iPhone age, that seems redundant, because you
can achieve better results with the Meal Diary app on your
phone. With two taps you can make sure that you know just
how much your intake is and how many calories you have
burnt. You can also classify meals on the basis of whether
they are small, medium or large and it's very easy to make
this a part of your regular routine.
