Over the last few years, working out at home has become the norm for people. Developing a solid workout routine from a home space can be tough at the best of times, though, which is why an increasing amount of people in Ireland are turning to fitness apps to get the most out of their workouts.
From weight training specific apps to apps focussed on all things yoga, the options in this space are extensive and can give an individual the tools needed to not only establish an exercise routine but also exhibit excellent results along the way. These types of apps can be integrated with ease into a daily routine, and it works for people. Whether it’s before showering for work in the morning or before bed in the evening, the Irish public is finding the time to exercise indoors.
The fact these types of apps can be housed on the powerful and sophisticated smartphone devices we all have access to today is remarkable too. Innovation in this space has reached new heights, with augmented reality games like Pokemon Go and popular no deposit casinos in Ireland rising to prominence in the gaming arena, alongside the wealth of food ordering, dating, banking and recipe apps which are already thriving. The same applies to the fitness industry, with apps becoming the go-to choice for people who are keen to get better results.
With that in mind, here is a look at some of the best and most popular fitness apps people are favouring at the moment.
FitOn
Some people might purchase a Peloton bike and join its growing community of users, while others opt for apps like FitOn, which not only produces superb exercise routines but it doesn’t take up the space or cost anywhere near as much. In fact, FitOn is totally free. With a range of routines from industry experts such as Jeanette Jenkins and Cassey Ho, the app is the ideal training companion. Once you have filled in your details, such as your height and weight and any fitness goals you have, the app then creates a 12-week plan specifically for you. There are also helpful videos to watch, live community classes, and a whole lot more.
7 Minute Workout
Extremely popular with busy parents, in particular, the 7 Minute Workout app is ideal for people who perhaps don’t have the time on their hands to carry out an hour’s extensive exercise routine, instead opting for short and effective exercises. The 7 Minute Workout app specialises in exactly that, giving fitness enthusiasts quick routines designed without equipment in mind. There is a range of workouts to access at varying levels of ability, they’re all completely free, and they will certainly help you feel the burn in no time.
