Today I thought I'd go over some apps that I use everyday. In this technological world we live in, you gotta take full advantage of everything you can!
My Best App would be JEFIT. If you are serious about lifting weights, you must try Jefit. There is the free online version and free apps on Apple and Android. I personally purchased the Pro Versions for my Ipad and Phone, and for only $5 for the Pro Version, it is worth it. You can go in, create a free online account, create custom workouts or select workouts created by other Jefit users, and watch your progress. It actually graphs your lifts and shows you your strength increases. It even has a countdown timer that lets you know when your rest period is up and its time to hit the weights. There is so much variety to it, it is a must have. If you end up getting Jefit, add me as a friend on it. My User Name is superpaliza.

Calorie Counter from Fatsecret is my next favorite app. It helps me keep track of my daily calories and Protein/Carbohydrate/Fat intake. An awesome feature of the app is its ability to scanthe barcode of a certain food you want to eat, log, or want info on, and it will tell you the serving size, the calories, and the Protein/Carbohydrate/Fat levels in it. If you log it, it will keep it as part of your daily total. There are also recipes, and it also covers food from your favorite places you like to eat as well! It is an amazing app. Counting calories is so important each day! Often people think, "I'm below my daily calories. I know how much I have eaten." I will admit I was one of those. I was blown away when one day I tracked it. So COUNT YOUR CALORIES PEOPLE! It is important!

The Pro Series is next up. 4 Distinct apps to help you acheive goals of doing over 100 pushups, 200 Squats and Crunches, and 40 Pullups. You set your own pace, it just shows you what to do for the day. It say to do them daily, however I like to just use them on the days that I work that specific group (Pushups = Chest, Pullups = Back, Squats = Legs). I do the Sit Ups each day after my morning run. They are great apps and really have helped me progress my overall strength and fitness levels.
Noom is the last app I want to go over today. Had I put this blog on a few months ago, this app would probably be up there in my top 2. The just made a change that makes you have less access and makes you want to buy the Pro Version. It is a monthly payment of $10. The Free regular version has some great options however. It has by far the most accurate calorie counter of any of the apps that I have ever used. You can log your workout time and intensity, and depending on your weight, it then calculates the number of calories you burned depending on the time, distance, or intensity you exercised. It also is GPS enabled, soyou can run and it will track the distance you run outside with it. You can also put a widget on your screen that shows your total calorie burn in the last 7 days. It will also give you a summary of the last 30 days, and an all time summary.

Those are the apps I use. If any of you have an app you have heard of that you would like me to try, or an app that you use and like, let me know! Im always up for trying something new to improve myself!
