Posted by JB Smith, Co-Owner on
If you are trying to start a walking routine or start back after a hiatus, you might have a great tool already in your hand. The smartphone you use to make phone calls or listen to music can provide countless mobile apps making exercise goals more fun and achievable.
Daily Motivation
For many, getting out the door is the hardest part of starting or maintain a walking program. iMotivator provides hundreds of quotes and readings that can inspire you to keep exercising.
Another proven motivational tool is to share with others who have similar goals. Nexercise and Tribesports are both great apps that allow you to engage with an online community, much like a support group.
Create a long-term goal to keep you moving. Fit Friendzy can provide a daily or weekly program where you can track your progress.
Find a New Path
The American Heart Association has created Walking Paths AHA, a great tool for finding new routes near you. If you’d rather find a trail, MotionX is a good tool that allows you to download and store maps, as well view your position and get live tracking so you wont get lost.
