WSVN — Everybody wants to be in shape, and whether you live and breathe fitness or just need some helpful motivation, Craig Stevens has what you need in today’s Appsolute Must-have downloads
If your busy schedule keeps you from getting in a good workout, The Seven Minute Workout: by Wahoo Fitness gives you a full-body exercise routine in — you guessed it — seven minutes.
The app gives you 12 high-intensity exercises that each take 30 seconds to complete with 10 seconds of rest in between. Each exercise gives you a description and video so you can follow along.
For those looking for that extra push, Couch to 5K can turn even the biggest couch potato into a 5K runner.
Select one of four virtual coaches to guide you and train you through intervals of walking and jogging. The app senses your movement using your GPS and lets you know when it’s time to switch up the pace. At just 30 minutes a day for three days a week, the app will have you ready to run that race in nine weeks.
Are you already an avid runner or do you love cycling? Strava tracks your runs or rides and lets you see how you compare to others.
The app maps your route and gives you key stats like distance, speed and calories burned. Share your workout and see how you stack up against friends or people who live in your area because who doesn’t love a little competition?
