YOUTUBE
Free Made for iPhone, iPad,
iPod touch

The YouTube community is full of great
fitness video creators who can guide you
through just about anything. Some run
entire courses, while others will suggest
exercises you can perform at home with
no equipment. The great thing about the
videos is you can follow along as they
perform them, and get a good look at the
form you need to follow.

YOGA STUDIO
Free (IAPs) Made for iPhone,
iPad, iPod touch

Yoga is brilliant for growing core strength
and keeping your joints moving smoothly
when time tries to start gumming them
up (it worked for Shaq and LeBron...).
This app has Yoga courses for specific
needs (back pain, weight management,
running flexibility, and more), and you
follow with the HD videos. It syncs with
the Health app, and tracks your progress.

WAKEOUT!
Free (IAPs) Made for iPhone,
iPad, iPod touch

Worried you don’t have time or space for
exercise? This app shows you simple
workouts you can do anywhere. Kitchen
exercises have you using skillets as
weights, car exercises get you working
your thighs, desk punches move your
torso, the “cushion tower” tones your
arms on the sofa. So there’s no excuse
not to make some time for your health!

The big stretch of holiday indulgence
runs from Thanksgiving through to
new year, with barely a let up, and it
can leave you feeling a little heavier
than maybe you’d like. We’re not
here to recommend intense gym
sessions or anything like that — we
know the motivation just isn’t there

for most people to dive into CrossFit
or worry about “summer–ready
bodies”. Some easy at–home
exercises that don’t require
equipment will help you feel a bit
healthier and more active when
spring arrives. These apps will help
you spend time getting healthier.
