Three Apps that Pump You Up and Motivate You to Workout

Three Apps that Pump You Up and Motivate You to Workout 

A study published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine found that people who exercise in their home gym are 12 percent more likely to quit their workout regimen than those with corporate gym memberships. Although you are more likely to start working out when you have your own gym, your motivation to exercise drastically decreases.

This is because accountability is a strong factor for motivation and when your gym is in your own basement you have absolutely no one to be accountable to.

Stay Fit Socially with BodySpace

Researchers found that people were more likely to stick with a fitness plan if they have a workout buddy. Having a friend workout with you gives you a sense of accountability to someone other than yourself. However, when you workout at home, you may not have a buddy to hit the gym with. Therefore, BodySpace has created a group of virtual buddies for you to workout with. Once you’re in the app, you can create a profile, add your friends, set your goals, and upload your progress reports. These are shared with your community and will help you comment, like, and support your friends’ workouts.

Keep Track of Your Calorie Intake with MyFitnessApp

With MyFitnessApp, you can input your weight and your fitness goals. Then the app determines how many calories you need to take in so that you can achieve the body of your dreams. Throughout the day, you will enter how many calories you digested for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This gives you a sense of accountability to the app so that you are more motivated to reach your goal. It will also help you maintain the most appropriate diet by giving you advice on what you should eat and giving you notifications when you’re not sticking to your fitness plans.

Workout to Your Music with RockMyRun

Science has proven that the type of music you listen to can motivate you to do certain activities. It can distract you from discomfort and change your mindset to continue a tough workout. Therefore, RockMyRun has incorporated science with exercise to provide you with the perfect fitness motivation app. RockMyRun’s DJs mix tempos to help maintain your endurance. It can match your music to your movement to provide the perfect workout soundtrack. The app also pays attention to your movement and stride and then uses this information to play the perfect song to motivate you when you’re slowing down. If you’re not accountable to anyone in your home gym, why not be accountable to your music?

It can be hard to stay motivated when your gym is literally down a flight of stairs. However, with these apps, you can add some accountability to your workout and stick to your fitness goals.
