It’s nearly one month into the new year, which means that sticking to our 2021 fitness routines may be getting a little tough! Whether you’re brand new to working out or are getting back into the swing of things, finding a routine that works for you can be an intimidating process. But, it doesn’t have to be!
Many people are still working from home and looking for ways to stay active inside the house. Most of us are interested in finding ways to incorporate more healthful routines physical, mental, and emotional into our daily lives.
While there are plenty of great resources out there, fitness apps provide great instruction on different exercises and can make working out an engaging, rewarding experience. Here are some of the best fitness apps available to help you stick to your workout plan in 2021 and get in a daily workout from home!
Imagine having hundreds of active at-home fitness routines in the palm of your hand. I love coming up with workout routines, but sometimes my brain is so fried after a long workday, I want someone else to tell me what to do. These top fitness apps are the perfect solution to finding plenty of at-home workout routines.
Nike Training Club
Nike’s official fitness app is a great choice for workout novices and experts alike. It’s a highly personalized app that recommends workouts of different intensities and times based on user preferences. Workouts are even based around different equipment availabilities, so even if you’re starting to get a home gym put together, they have workouts for you. Nike Training Club is free to download and use, but premium features are available for an additional cost.
Wakeout
We spent a lot of time at home in 2020, and that might continue for some time even in this new year. Thankfully, Wakeout is here to turn your home into a gym. This unique fitness app features more than 1,000 exercises that can be done around the house. Unlike some of the other apps, Wakeout is not intended to be an intense workout app. Rather, Wakeout encourages users to take time throughout the day to be active.
Workout Trainer
Created by Skimable, Workout Trainer is designed to make easy-to-follow workout routines for all fitness levels. This free app uses an intuitive questionnaire to understand your fitness goals and experience to create a plan that works for you. Workout Trainer also sends notifications and uses stats to show how you’re progressing in your workouts.
Seven
It can be difficult to fit an entire workout routine into a day, but Seven has a solution. This app asks for only seven minutes a day to focus on fitness. During a workout, the app guides you through the seven-minute workouts with animations demonstrating the exercises you are to perform. It also tracks your progress to encourage you to fit in one of their quick workouts every day.
Yoga Studio
If traditional workouts are not your speed, you may be interested in Yoga Studio, which offers resources to incorporate yoga into your daily routine. This app does require a monthly fee, but their library of yoga routines is extensive and built to build physical strength and encourage mindfulness. Those completely new to yoga will find thorough tutorials, and yoga veterans can enjoy routines built for them as well.
Apple Fitness+
Apple Fitness+ is a new fitness experience for everyone, powered by Apple Watch. World-class workouts by the world’s best trainers. There are new workouts added every week.
Fitness apps are a great way to help start your 2021 workout routine. Whether you want a full gym experience or a daily reminder to stretch, these apps have something for everyone.
