Sworkit App.

This week I was able to experiment with the fitness application called Sworkit.  This health and fitness aid is rated five stars on the AppStore and rightly so. This app allows you to workout in any environment, and at any level. When you first open this app., it will ask you what your overall goals are. This is so Sworkit can target your workouts with your preferences. There are four categories that you can choose from: Strength, Cardio, Yoga, and Stretching. This allows you to choose any variety of activities. The workouts are all targeted at 5 minutes of activity.



When I was using this app. this week, I worked with the strength, cardio, and stretching sections of the app. I got halfway through the yoga category, when I couldn’t continue, or didn’t want to. I had to try each category, but the beauty of this application is that it allows you to choose a workout that is customizable to your likes/dislikes. Overall, this app is a handy fitness aid, and I will keep it on my phone for future workouts!

IPhone "Health" Application

Health App.

After purchasing that shiny new IPhone, turn it on, and start your downloading of applications and music, it is already working for you. Without your initiation, the Health app is already counting your steps, miles walked, run, etc. What is amazing about this application, is that it allows you to track for years! If I wanted to see my action during February 17th, I can find it in just a touch of two buttons! 

Other Options

I have the ability to see where I have made progress, or not, in staying active. You can see by the picture below that after January, I started working out more and more. You can also sync this application with an Apple Watch and that tracks your activity as you run! You have the ability to watch yourself and accurately trace your workout.

If you have yet to experiment with this application yet, I suggest you take a look! It will at least be interesting to see how active you have been since the start of the year!
