The smart-phone and tablet penetration has gone ahead in leaps and bounds over the past couple of years, and the statistics tell us that that includes all age ranges and groups.
There are a huge number of fantastic ?apps? for these devices out there, and that includes some to help your health and fitness. I wanted to share some of my favourites with you today.
My Fitness Pal (Apple, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile): this great app sets you a ?target? of calories that you should be consuming over a day, depending on whether you are trying to maintain or put on weight, and also dependent on age/height/weight etc. Whenever you eat or are active, put it in the app and see how your target is going. Great for smackers like me!
Instant Heart Rate (Apple, Android, Windows Mobile): use the flash on your phones camera on the skin of our finger, to measure and record your current heart rate
MapMyRun, MapMyWalk,MapMyRide (Apple, Android):?says it all really?where have you been, how far, what speed, what elevation?it?s all here!
Geocaching (Apple, Android, Blackberry): want some motivation to go walking, tramping or running? Why not discover these worldwide little hidden treasure caches while out and about!
Recognise Hands/Recognise Feet (Apple/Android): had a hand or foot/ankle injury? There?s evidence that your brain may alter your perception of your body, which can slow its ability to heal. This flash-card based app will aid in re-training your brain in its perception of the body.
iTriage (Apple, Android): informations on all sorts of conditions, medications and symptoms (but note NOT a substitute for your health professional!)
WebMD/MedScape (Apple,Android, Windows Mobile): great for health professionals, as they have a full list of medical terms and conditions explained, plus a drugs reference. Not for the un-trained though.
BMI ? Body Mass Index Calculator (Apple, Android): yes I know, not the greatest and most relevant tool, but still a good one for anyone wanting to know their BMI
Zombies, Run! (Apple, Android): sick of your music or audio book while exercising? Why not try an interactive zombie apocalypse story while you are doing it then? Lots of fun, and a few scary moments!
Active Physio Albany (Apple, Android): info on our clinic and services, plus you can have your Pilates concession card on the phone, to save you carrying around a cardboard one in your purse or wallet!
