Free mobile app makes fitness fun
Want to get your body beach-ready? Working out with friends is a terrific way to stay motivated. The Fit Friendzy-Exercise Challenge App makes fitness fun, by challenging you to get in the best shape ever. Invite friends to do an exercise challenge with you, join in one with other Fit Friendzy users, or try one on your own. The free mobile app offers more than 50 challenges for every fitness level.
With a wide range of invigorating workouts, it’s easy to stay enthusiastic as you strive to achieve your fitness goals.
Fit Friendzy, released by GE healthymagination and MedHelp, the world’s largest health social network, lets users turn their iPhone into their personal trainer. The app tracks workouts, including minutes of exercise, distance, speed and total calories burned. To get started, users select an avatar from more a dozen sporty options, then set their first exercise challenge. Friends can comment on each other’s activities, cheer each other on and celebrate together as challenges are completed.
The app’s goal to take the “work” out of working out. Among its features are:
*Exercise challenges that include swimming one mile, doing 50 one-arm pushups, playing basketball every week, running a marathon or half-marathon, a superman challenge and walking 30 minutes a day for a month.
*If you already have a favorite sport or just prefer to do your own workout routine, the app tracks any form of exercise.
*Whether your aim is to boost your endurance, reps, speed, distance, strength or flexibility, you can create daily schedules of fitness activities that help you reach the goal. As each task is completed, enjoy a sense of accomplishment by checking it off your to-do list.
*To help you track your progress, the app shows you how much and how often you’ve worked out in a calendar view. To keep you motivated—and honest–a progress bar displays how much of each challenge you’ve finished. You can also see exactly how much you’ve exercised on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis.
