FoodPrint Diet by Nutrino
If you’re a sucker for a minimalist UI like I am, Nutrino is the food app for you. I wouldn’t classify Nutrino as a diet app because it’s more than just that. This is a health app, taking you through the food choices good for you and your current health condition. It’s also very educational as you can clearly see how different foods are affecting your body and glucose levels. But that’s not all. Nutrino also lets you track your daily exercises and helps you build your menu with their Personalized Meal Planner feature.

Build the perfect exercise plan for you through Sworkit. This app abides by the popular saying “no excuses” because you can definitely find a workout plan for your current environment. No gym? No problem. Sworkit’s exercise routines can be as simple as a 7-minute HIIT workout to get your day started, or if you’re feeling a little adventurous you can opt for the advanced total body sets.

Zombies, Run!
What the holy macaroni is an “exergame”? Short answer: games where you exercise to win. Nothing screams motivation to run than, um, screaming for your life against the undead. Zombies, Run! is an audio-based app that will send you into the post-apocalypse scene. As you run anywhere in the world, whether it be at the park or on the treadmill, this app will give you missions as to how far you can find supplies and when you should start speeding up before zombies eat you alive. It’s a great alternative to your usual cardio music and can get you running longer without it feeling repetitive and boring.

Spotify Running
Match your running pace with the best beats today through Spotify. Spotify Running intelligently pairs your own running speed with a song with the same BPM. And for people who do HIIT, Spotify also changes songs as you speed up or slow down. Based from experience, listening to music perfectly in time with my running lengthens my time on the treadmill, gets me burning more calories, and all with a smile on my face.
