7 Fitness Apps To Help You Exercise at Home Like Kayla Itsines

June 15, 2020 · Fitness, Workouts




Fitness is not just exercise, it’s a de-stressor and a form of therapy. With advisories for physical distancing, the 1 in 5 Americans that belong to gyms and other health clubs are facing accessibility challenges that may cause them to fear falling out of their gym schedule and sacrificing recent fitness accomplishments.

Many are taking the government’s requests to practice physical distancing very seriously. While the unknown and a drastic change in lifestyle can be quite stressful, continue to be vigilant to not spread this disease further, use this time at home for more self-care and adopt a fitness routine.

Fitness Apps

Gyms and workout studios may have reopened but not everyone is not comfortable with going. The gym is a populated place where germs can be easily spread to free weights, cable machines, treadmills and floor mats, for up to 3 days! Your sweat towel is not going to do the job. That doesn’t mean it’s over for working out ever.

We’re in a world that’s increasingly connected and have access to fitness apps to get us through these times. There is also the growing popularity of small workout equipment such as pull-up bars, handle bands, foam rollers, resistance bands and mini loop bands. People using these types of equipment has increased since March 8, with mini loop bands showing the biggest jump. They are a great addition to your workout but you can still get your heart pumping with this list of fitness apps.


Sirius XM

SoulCycle Radio is an instructor-guided virtual workouts available on Sirius XM. It helps listeners workout with inspiration and music-motivation at home.

You can find favourite instructors sharing their own music playlists and workout tips to take you through a one-hour workout at home. No equipment or level of expertise is needed.

The instructor-guided workouts are available weekdays with 3 new sessions a day; 9 am, 3 pm, and 9 pm. Listeners are treated to an hour of uplifting music plus exercise tips and motivational messages. Every weekday, instructors share new playlists of inspiring songs to help lift spirits and get you moving wherever you are. The curated music will follow the arc of a typical workout class:

  • taking you from warm up
  • to high intensity
  • to cool down
  • and a relaxing stretch

SoulCycle Radio will also feature “marathon weekends” where there will be virtual workout sessions every 3 hours. SoulCycle Radio music and instructor playlists are available on demand anytime.

Fit Radio

There’s no lack of online fitness apps right now, but everyone knows music is everything when it comes to genuinely enjoying your workout and staying motivated.
Fit Radio provides an unparalleled workout experience created by real DJs from Vegas, Miami, and around the globe. It’s a real human creating the mix. Sometimes they’ll even throw in a movie quote or something else fun and interesting. Through audio-guided workouts coaches will push you further and cheer you on, while DJs continuously surprise you with kick-ass playlists. There’s even one called  “Quarantine Mix.” Scroll through more than:
  • 40 music genres
  • workouts like cycling, cross-train, Zumba, running
  • search by track or artist

When it comes to running, Fit Radio features pace matching technology so that each song matches your stride. The music is separate from the audio coach, so if you like country music you can listen to that genre with the coach you want. Fit Radio lowers the music to the right level whenever the coach speaks so you can hear them.

Weight Loss Supplements

This may not be a fitness app, it can provide some help to your weight loss journey. Dietary supplements will aid you when adopting a healthy diet and a fitness routine. Doctor’s Select Nutraceuticals Weight Loss 4 is a great product that can provide you with weight loss support. I’ve personally enjoyed this one too, Hydroxy Cut. Remember, these products should not be consumed for more than 12 weeks at a time.

Another one I really like is the Fat Burning Lemonade. This supplement is a high performance fitness, weight loss and recovery product. It accelerates your metabolic rate using fat for fuel. It will also get you into ketosis faster by accessing your stored carbohydrates, meaning that you burn up all the carb stored in your body faster. You’ll notice a difference in your endurance when you consume it before a work out. It’ll keep you energized, focused, healthy and on point nutritionally.

Drink on an empty stomach before meals and before, during or after workout. Keep it simple and mix 1 scoop with 8 oz of water, tea, sparkling water or your favourite beverage. Try the Fat Burning Lemonade and use code Rania.

Fitbod

Fitbod has analyzed its workout trends and found that since the COVID-19 outbreak, its bodyweight-only workouts routines, designed for working out at home, have become increasingly popular. Bodyweight-only workouts can be very effective and use only the user’s body weight for resistance. The beauty with fitness apps is that no special equipment is needed.

Bodyweight-only routines are growing in popularity, especially among intermediate and advanced level users who are most likely to want to keep in shape during this shelter-in-place period. Users who consider themselves at the advanced fitness level are increasing their use of bodyweight-only workouts more than beginners are, although beginners aged 24 and under seem to take to interest in bodyweight-only training. Based on fitness science, Fitbod’s bodyweight-only routines are challenging yet appropriate to each user’s fitness level.

Mental Health

We may be limited in movement and in some cases still quarantined at home while looking to start a new exercise routine. Physical activity can reduce stress, strengthen your heart and lungs, increase energy levels and help you achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. Being active helps us to feel good about ourselves, our body image and our self-esteem. Most health advice can be boiled down to simple behaviours, like eating a balanced diet, exercising, getting good sleep and ensuring your mental health is well. It’s important to stay mentally healthy during this time. While the above advice is great, sometimes we need something extra to direct us, listen to us and ensure we stay the healthy course. Online therapy is a great way to do that from the comfort of your own home, you can find out more about it at ReGain.

The Gist of it

With most now working from home and adjusting their lifestyle habits and routines, it is now more important than ever to try to retain your normal habits and staying active, even if the options look different. Fitness apps are great and as you can see above, there are countless options. They can help you through with motivation and getting started. If you need an extra push with small equipment, like yoga blocks, a mat, pull up bars or others, there are many affordable choices.

What fitness apps do you like?
