[sc name=”numlist” number=”1″ title=”Sworkit – Custom Workouts for Exercise & Fitness”]
In this day and age, we spend so much time working, commuting to work and back home, attending to daily chores, sitting in front of our laptops, and staring at our phones scrolling away at social media timelines that we barely have any time left for ourselves and for the things that truly make our lives better – which includes working out. With Sworkit, you can find workouts that fit into any schedule or lifestyle, so even if you’re as busy as Kobe Bryant was during his farewell tour last season, you’ll be able to put in a few minutes of work every single day thanks to an immense selection of video workouts with their lengths ranging from as little as 5 minutes up to as much as 60 minutes. Sworkit delivers varied workout plans for three fitness goals – getting leaner, getting fitter, and getting stronger –, and comes equipped with a Schwarzenegger-in-his-prime-sized exercise database bursting with exercises targeting specific body parts in case you’d like to put extra effort into getting a six pack.
[sc name=”numlist” number=”2″ title=”My Swim Pro – Personal Swim Trainer”]
The most impressive item on My Swim Pro’s not-at-all-mile-long resume is that the app is used and recommended by several Olympic swimmers and professional athletes – though if you have that on your resume, it doesn’t have to be mile-long. Regarding what My Swim Pro brings to the sweat-covered workout table (Kind of yuck. Sorry!), it packs hundreds of training programs you can select from based on your preferred workout type, current skill level, and the length of the pool course you’re swimming in. There are video tutorials and set descriptions for each workout, and you can track your performance with a workout log and in-depth analytics. My Swim Pro has a premium subscription for $14.99 per month or $99.99 per year that scores you instructional video content, additional workout categories, and advanced analytic graphs. Sounds cool and oh-so-pro, but if you’re only swimming to stay in shape or to get in shape (or, God forbid, for fun), you’ll be more than satisfied with the app’s free features.

If you’re often overcome by an out-of-the-blue urge to hop on your bike and ride it until your feet can no longer take it, you not only have something in common with the legendary Freddy Mercury, but you’re also probably in pretty good shape, and you’re getting in your daily dose of workout without you even realizing it.
