Let’s face it: finding the motivation to train and practice fitness with closed gyms is not easy. Worse than going out at night when the weather doesn’t help and the parks are off-limits. But the solution is at hand: fitness app that show us all the exercises and different workouts we can do at home. Just like a personal trainer (in this virtual case). We have selected and tested 7, almost completely free, for iPhone and Android, suitable for beginners and experts.

iMuscle2

(IPhone for free from the android)

Each muscle has its own exercise. The principle behind this app is simple: just click on any muscle of the virtual anatomical model to find out which are the main exercises to train it, secondary ones and even stretching ones, all explained through small video tutorials. There is a wide choice, which includes exercises to be done in the gym with strength machines and others that can be practiced at home, even without tools. The only flaw: the explanation of the exercises is in English (but nothing impossible, ed).

Sweatcoin
—
(IPhone for free from the android)
–
If you are one of those who always need a little incentive, this is the fitness app for you: every 1,000 steps, counted using the GPS of the mobile phone, you get a sweatcoin, a virtual currency that can be spent in the online store of the app, where you can find a bit of everything: gadgets, clothing, air miles, even some latest generation hi-tech products. It goes without saying that the most precious prizes cost thousands of Sweatcoins, but a few are enough to earn upgrades of the same app, which – money aside – basically by pushing us to take 4 steps does us a big favor: when we walk, blood flow increases, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the leg muscles and also to the brain. Result: we feel more energetic and with a more reactive mind.
