Apps are little pieces of specialized software that can be downloaded and installed on a smartphone. Exercise, various forms of physical training, food, and other aspects of health and fitness fitness are the primary focus of health & fitness apps. The reason is that health apps, of which fitness apps are a subset, can be used right in the comfort of one’s own home.

There are a lot of free apps available online for download. Not all fitness trackers are created equal; some are used solely for weight control, while others also record the number of times you’ve exercised or the distance you’ve traveled.

Some fitness apps connect users with experts in the fields of nutrition and training, who can provide guidance on specifics of an individual’s fitness regimen or their overall approach to wellness. Some fitness apps include a running playlist or a playlist of songs to help you stay on time with your workout.
