Your New Year’s resolutions likely will include weight loss. Given the year we’ve had, it’s understandable weight loss will be an even more common goal than usual.

We’ve compiled a list of our top fun free fitness apps that might even make you forget you’re working out. You can track your progress and explore new routines for free with these apps.

Free Fitness Apps To Work out At home

1. Get rewarded for exercising: Better Points

The Better Points app rewards you for exercising with points you can then spend on the high street in shops, such as John Lewis, Starbucks, and Hotel Chocolat; or online at sites like Amazon. You can use it for walking, cycling and running. Better Points uses your phone’s GPS to track your movements, so there’s no cheating. Use it on a regular route like a walk to work or school, and you might be surprised how quickly the rewards stack up.

 

2. A personal trainer in your phone: Fitnet

Personal trainers are expensive, you know – but what if you could get feedback on your exercise moves for free? Fitnet may have the answer. Designed to be used in tandem with an iPad, the app contains over 200 free workout videos, and provides real-time feedback via Fitnet’s biometric camera. There’s a point system that tells you how fast you’re moving and how much energy you’re putting into it. It’s a clever concept, and a novel way of monitoring your fitness.

 

3. Best for HIIT: Keelo

With free coaching, personalized programs, and over 180 movements specifically designed for strength and conditioning, Keelo is a great option for those looking to do HIIT workouts at home. It provides daily workouts with recommendations regarding the amount of weight you should use and simple, step-by-step video demonstrations. It also allows you to track your activity and helps estimate your daily calorie and macronutrient needs.

Keelo is free to download and use. However, Keelo Premium, which includes access to all workouts and allows you to chat directly with your coach on the app, costs $12.99 per month or $93.99 per year.

 

4. Personalising your workout: Adidas Training by Runtastic

More than an application, this is the name of a series of programs. Runtastic was born as a race tracker, and that’s where much of its popularity comes from. But the app company has already expanded its horizons and has other apps dedicated to other specific exercises, such as: sit-ups, push-ups and squats. It also has integration with MyFitnessPal and Google Fit.

There’s also a place on the app for you to upload your progress pictures for extra motivation.

 

5. One minute desk workout

A number of studies have shown that sitting for eight hours or more a day increases your risk of early death. It’s important to get up, move around and stretch your legs on a regular basis. This app offers you 45 types of exercises that release tension when you’re at your desk, in a meeting or waiting by the coffee machine. It also gives you handy reminders during office hours so you won’t forget, and thankfully it skips during your lunch break.

 

6. Yoga for beginners

When you open this app, you’ll immediately be greeted with a selection of yoga routines including bedtime yoga, beginner yoga, energy booster, fat burner, inner peace, yoga for abs and more. The classes range from 7-14 minutes, which makes it great for a quick workout for those new to yoga practice.

 

7. It’s may be Fun!: Dance Fitness Lite

There are loads of great dance apps, so you can find one that suits your level of fitness and dancing preferences. We’ve chosen the Dance Fitness Lite app because it has a vast range of different dance types, including salsa, cheerleading, Bollywood, street and Zumba. And, it doesn’t matter if you’re two steps behind the beat or resemble a daddy-long-legs trying to waltz – no one’s watching, so you can just enjoy yourself, while getting into shape.
