We all had to have those new iPhones and Galaxys (even our kids!) and the advertisements were true—they revolutionized our lives. They also made it a lot easier to sit and entertain ourselves with tiny screens and Angry Birds, meaning considerably less physical activity for many of us! Lo and behold, there are some apps out there aimed at getting you and your family off the bum and fighting fit—so, healthy family? There’s an app for that!
This app helps you and your peeps maintain a fitness and nutritional diary that will help keep you accountable in your workouts, and work together towards your fitness goals. Friend your family members and pals to get the whole gang working together. You can send messages of encouragement and track workout progress all in the same place!
This super simple app has a couple of static exercises that you and your family can use to build muscle stability and increase your balance. Turn it into a family challenge and see who can hold each position for a set amount of time.
This app allows you to create a workout plan using their extensive database of moves with or without gym machinery. Conjure up your own routine, or try out one of their pre-set workouts and share your success and strategies with your family.
Gamify your fitness routine with an app that will put you inside an obstacle course that your squirrely character is trying to pass through.
Your task (should you choose to accept it) is to make the motions of your avatar to get through the course. The device senses when you jog in place, jump, or duck, and the whole family will love trying to see how far you can go!
