3 Fitness Apps to Change Your Mind About Working Out

NIKE TRAINING CLUB 

Cost: Free

The greatest thing about Nike Training Club is its versatility. The app offers personalized one-off workouts or multiweek programs for all fitness levels. Whether you have 10 minutes or an hour, there’s a step-by-step workout plan for you—and the options cover strength, endurance, and mobility. The app also offers push notifications that encourage you to get moving!

Couch to 5K

Cost: $2.99

Couch to 5K is the running app for people who hate running. As several of us can personally attest to, this app gently guides you from “I could never run more than a minute,” to “Wow, I just ran a few miles,” with increment-based cardio that increases in difficulty each week. You can also keep a log of your progress, which is a great way to push yourself just a little harder each time.
