F I T N E S S : The App that Works as Your Personal Traine

We all know how important a healthy body and a healthy mind is to the well-being of an individual and to society. Fitness is key to maintaining proper functioning of our biological systems. Regular exercise helps strengthens bones, improves functioning of the heart and vascular system, and prevents the development of chronic diseases. Fitness affects both mind and body as it improves our memory, prevents back pain, helps with posture and lowers risks of disease. Fitness benefits your state of mind, your emotional levels, enhances sexual function, and overall energy. This is due to the release of endorphins (a chemical responsible for the good mood you’re in) as you exercise. As you find yourself getting the physique you want, your confidence, self-esteem will be better.

We could go on for days talking about the benefits of exercise, but this isn’t going to be a lesson about health, we just want to remind you how fitness works out in your favor (no pun intended). We all want a strong immune system through fitness, but unfortunately, not everyone can afford a trainer. And hey, not everyone can find the motivation to move their butts to the gym when there is obviously food, Netflix and bed waiting for them at home.

So here’s what I propose: an app that gives you all the instructions a personal trainer would, but tailored to your own time, privacy and preferences. You choose every day what type of exercise you want to do, how long you want to do them for and track how you are doing in progress. It tracks down how many calories you burn and it works on any mobile device so you could be working out in your room, outside, or at home (who needs a gym membership anyway?). I use it on a daily basis and it saves me money, time and effort. The app’s name is Sworkit Lite, available on the iPhone, iPad and Android.

With the app, you ensure regular exercise and maintain healthy eating habits to avoid extreme diets or desperate purchases of advertised ‘instant’ weight loss solutions. All you really need to get yourself going is having a stable paced workout, especially effective with aerobic exercise, which will allow you to achieve everything—from burning the calories, toning the body, developing more muscles and flexibility to general strengthening of the core and becoming more in control of yourself. All this without pulling out a fat checkbook.
