We hear it all the time, “there’s an app for that.” It wouldn’t be such a common phrase if it weren’t actually true. There are apps to help you with everything like dating, cooking, writing, traveling, scrapbooking, studying, I can go on and on. It isn’t easy to sift through every single app to find the right one that you need. It is helpful, however, to find the apps that are best to help with your well-being. Believe it or not, there’s plenty of those. Here are the ten best wellness apps you can download now.
You couldn’t have all the wellness apps without a helpful one providing the best workout tips. The Nike Training Club app comes with over 100 workouts to help you target with area you want to work out the most. You can create personalized plans and track your progress with this new “personal trainer.”
For the avid yoga participators, it would be crazy not to have an app to help you with one of your favorite workout activities. This app is created to help you to have a more serene morning with mediation sounds, and start the day with relaxing morning stretches.
Meditation is praised as one of the best ways to calm your mind which in turn leads to an overall healthy lifestyle. The Headspace app knows that meditation helps to reduce stress, helps with sleep and concentration and teaches you how to properly meditate for those who don’t really know where to begin.
A list of the best wellness apps would not be complete if we didn’t include sleep. Having a full night’s sleep is just as important and vital to overall wellness. For those who struggle with their sleeping patters, the Sleep Cycle app helps to track sleep patterns and what contributes to these patterns like work, television and stress.
Determining when you begin your period (and various parts of your cycle) starts is very important to know. We should all be aware what our body is going through, when, and why. The Cycles Period and PMS Tracker not only tracks your cycle, but has you mark down daily how you are felling (stressed, happy, irritated, etc.) And the app will help you to determine where you are in your cycle, like fertility and the premenstrual stages, and figure out the monthly pattern contributing to your daily life.
Have you ever entered a diet and weren’t entirely sure if you were calculating workouts and calories correctly? Well this app is designed to help those who need a little help figuring the intricacies out. My Fitness Pal will have you plug in the foods and quantities you had, and what workouts you did that day and for how long. The app calculates how many of those calories you have burned and if you have gotten the proper amount of nutrients for your diet. It is the perfect app to make sure you lose weight the healthy way.
Much like My Fitness Pal, this app helps those who need a little help tracking food specifics. It will track calories, nutritional values and dietary needs according to your workouts and other specifics. It catalogs your sleep and helps to motivate you to keep going. We all need an app like that in our phone, don’t we?
A huge part of wellness is finding a way to relax your mind and forget the stressors in your everyday life. Whether it’s for a moment or maybe 10 minutes. Meditating for 5 to 10 minutes a day will give much needed clarity. You can get a surge of inspiration and energy to last hours. This app comes with a meditation timer to ensure and remind the user to take mere moments of their day for silence and reflection.
Just because you don’t have a gym membership, it doesn’t mean you can’t workout properly like everyone else. This Fitplan app is perfect for those who work out at home with routines created according to your own goal, daily feedback and great tips to keep you motivated.
Mental clarity and finding a way to release stress and create a calmer atmosphere are key. Journaling is one way to try this. It helps you to write down what angers you, stresses you out and even something that excites you. Putting your daily thoughts down is like freeing yourself from a ball and chain and releasing negative energy. Keep your journal in your pocket with one of the best wellness apps for this, the Day One Journal App.
