Apps!
We know how much you love using your phones, tablets and laptops for leisure-based activities. Did
you know there are SO many apps to give you inspiration to keep active and healthy at home? Here is a
short list and a brief breakdown of some great apps!
Nike Training Club – With over 185 free workouts, one of the leading sports brands in the world
offers a fantastic app that can pair with your Apple Watch as well as working for Android
owners as well!
‘Map My’ Series – Under Armour offer a range of free apps, under the ‘Map My’ name, from
everything to Map My Walk, Run Cycle and Fitness Workout – these apps are great for
recording your personal info as well.
Peloton – The good news is you do not need to own one of the brands bikes to have the app,
they have guided exercises across multiple fitness categories, and they are currently offering a
free 90-day trial!
FitOn – A very popular app that offers free workouts for HIIT, Pilates, Yoga and Strength
Training to name a few! Lots of workouts have challenges and you can tailor them to your own
needs!
7 Minute Workout – An app we are sure you have heard of before, that does what it says on the
tin! 7MW is based on High Intensity Circuit Training and is certainly a very efficient way to
improve your fitness!
Freeletics – This app offers personal training, virtually! Again, HIIT workouts are extremely
popular within this app as well as letting you set goals and track your progress from day to day!
SoSweat – The great thing about this app is you can do live workouts with your friends! If you
both have the app you can connect and workout together, if you’re in need of some inspiration
and conversation in between your efforts!
Yoga Studio – Why not try and improve your flexibility while tapping into your mental health.
Yoga Studio offers over 190 free videos for you to follow along to and will help your body prior
to playing team sport again!
On You Couch to 5K – This app is tailored around the fact we are all at home. You can follow a
. programme, while listening to your own music at the same time! A great, fun app.
Strava – One that lots of you probably already have, but a great app that has local leader boards
where you can compare yourself against others or track alone if you have access to the great
outdoors, either on your bike, or on foot!
Gymshark Workout Planner – Gymshark have made their home workouts free and accessible
for you to complete in your own home with their trainers!
Homecourt – This app started out as a basketball specific app, however, the app is now multi-
sport related. It is probably the most enjoyable app on the list, with lots of different challenges
and games you can do, using your phone as the ‘game screen’ while you use the camera to
complete the challenges you are set!
Movies, Documentaries & Podcasts!
During your down time, after a day of remote learning, you may want to put on a film, or a documentary based
around sport or pop your headphones in and listen to a podcast. There are so many fantastic media sources, all
based around sport, out there on multiple platforms that we think you need to see/hear if you haven’t already! P.S
