If you are beginner who is just starting out with exercise, this post is for you. Especially if you don't want to get locked in a gym membership you think you might not end up using. Now, I am not really a fitness expert or anything, I am not even an apprentice, but these are my favourite fitness apps that have really helped me be on track and I can use them at my convenience any time I want.
1. Yoga Studio : $4.99
This is best yoga app I have come across so far. The interface is so simple and neat. The voice is very calming. You can schedule and build classes and there are also pre-built classes for all levels.
Pros:
- Clean interface
- Easy to use
- For all levels
- Pre-created classes at all level
- Ability to build your own class
Cons:
- Not free
2. Argus : Free
This app basically counts your daily steps and keeps motivating you to walk more. It sounds simple but it really helps. This app is the reason I would want to walk to the bus stop further down the road. You can set goals for yourself. For example, my daily goal is 10,000 steps so I try my best to walk that much.

4. 5K Runner : 3.79$
I have never really been someone who enjoys to run but I am starting to like it lately. 5k runner has really helped. I really want to be able to run 5 kilometers without feeling like I am going to pass out. This app trains you and helps you achieve this goal in 8 weeks. It is built for three 30 mins runs per week, which is not that difficult to accomplish.

5. Headspace : Free
So, this not a conventional fitness app. But it is amazing for mental health and peace which is often not given as much importance.Life gets so overwhelming at times and a mental break becomes essential. This app gives you just that. A 10 min mental break. I really underestimated how this would work but trust me, this is fantastic. It takes you through 10 mins of guided meditation and it should ideally be done 10 days in a row. All you need is a peaceful spot and 10 minutes. I don't think I will be able to explain it too well here, but download the app and you will know.
