Do you need help picking a fitness app? What are the top fitness and workout apps for beginners? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many fitness and workout apps out there, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with choices. The best app for your needs is not necessarily the one that has the most features (unless that’s what you want!), but one that offers the functionality that is most relevant to your goals. As a beginner, you’ll want exercise break-downs, simple routines, and an interface to track your progress<\/a>, at the very least. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we’ve compiled a list of top fitness and workout apps for beginners, detailing their features so you can pick one that best meets your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Fitness and Workout Apps for Beginners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By no means you don’t need a fancy app to keep up with a regular workout routine<\/a>, but apps can be useful, especially if you are a beginner. A good workout app is like having a personal trainer in your pocket\u2014it can provide structure, instructions, and a boost of motivation<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s our roundup of the top fitness and workout apps for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nike Training Club<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nike Training Club<\/em> is an all-around fitness app: it offers both workouts and guidance for all fitness levels, goals (flexibility, strength, mobility, etc.), and types of training (yoga, calisthenics, weight training, etc.). If you have an iPhone, you can sync your exercise and heart information with Apple Health. You can also play Apple Music within the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alo Moves<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer yoga to any other type of exercise, check out Alo Moves<\/em>. The app delivers thousands of classes taught by the world’s best instructors. With Alo Moves<\/em> in your pocket, you\u2019ll never get bored of doing the same workout over and over again. Their classes span all styles of yoga you can think of, from vinyasa to kundalini. And if you want to take a moment of mindfulness<\/a>, there are also guided meditations, breathwork, and even sound baths on offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sworkit<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We like Sworkit<\/em> because it offers something for everyone. Whether you only have five minutes to workout, you prefer working out with or without equipment, or even if you\u2019re currently working with a physical therapist, there\u2019s a workout on the app suited to your needs. On top of that, Sworkit<\/em> offers 6-week progression programs in HIIT, Tabata, yoga, Pilates, and more.

If you get bored easily, try their exclusive multi-week challenges to keep your mind guessing and your body progressing. Each workout is shown with modifications so you can follow along no matter your fitness level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaptiv<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, working out to videos can be inconvenient and cumbersome. Plus, do you really need a video of someone telling you to push hard or go faster? Aaptiv <\/em>provides audio-based fitness classes for workouts that just don\u2019t make sense for videos, including running, elliptical, stretching, yoga, HIIT, and more. All classes are led by certified trainers to the popular music you already love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jillian Michaels<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jillian Michaels is a celebrity fitness trainer who\u2019s worked with high-profile celebrities the likes of Pink, Julia Roberts, and Amanda Peet.

Couch to 5K <\/em>provides you with a training plan that gets you from the couch to running a 5K in just 9 weeks. You can select between four coaches (Johnny Dead, Constance, Billie, or Sergeant Block) who will guide you through each training session via audio feedback. The app allows you to calculate distance, track your performance, and map your routes with GPS. There\u2019s also an in-app music player to keep you motivated and pumped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Workouts<\/em><\/strong><\/a> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like a structured and straightforward approach to exercise, you should try Daily Workouts<\/em>. The app delivers both full-body as well as targeted workouts for each muscle group with or without equipment. All exercises are demonstrated by a certified personal trainer. There is also a timer and on-screen instructions breaking down the mechanics of each exercise so you can learn them with proper form<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga for Beginners<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga for Beginners<\/em> is a basic app that provides quick and simple yoga workouts. If you\u2019ve always wanted to start practicing yoga but felt intimidated by the complexity and the sheer amount of poses, this is the perfect workout app for you. There is only a small amount of simple sequences that include all the basic, foundational yoga poses. You can adjust the number of times you do each sequence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 Minute Workouts by J&J<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fit On App<\/em> is another app that lets you work out with celebrity trainers. They offer a gamut of workout styles including HIIT, cardio, yoga, strength training, barre, pilates, dance, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you are looking for targeted workouts for specific muscle groups, definitely check this app out. You can choose the target area (booty, abs, arms, back, legs), time, and intensity, and the app will generate a workout based on these parameters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alive<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
