These apps can help you start doing cardio, get into yoga, count your calories, or turn yourself into a Thor-lookalike.
Changing your habits can be tedious work, but fitness apps are here to make the task a little less herculean. Google Play has a good selection of such apps, both free and paid, and they cover a wide range of health-related topics. These apps can help you start doing cardio, get into yoga, count your calories, or turn yourself into a Thor-lookalike with Chris Hemsworth’s help.
Working out and getting in shape have always been hot topics, long before the introduction of smartphones. These days, you don’t need to buy yourself an expensive workout bike or a cheaper alternative; you don’t need a gym membership; you don’t even need an appointment with a nutritionist. That is not to say that those things are not helpful — they are, but there are cheaper ways to get started and break into some new healthy habits.
Of course, not all of the best Android apps are free, and some can be pretty pricey (but the expense can be worth it). We’ll show you a selection that covers a good range of budgets and uses. Let’s dig in and pick the five apps that will help you make a lifestyle change.Centr
If you’ve ever seen „The Avengers“ or another recent Marvel production, you may have been impressed by Thor’s physique in most of the movies. Chris Hemsworth, the actor portraying the god of thunder, certainly knows how to stay fit. No one can promise to turn you into Thor without any effort, but Hemsworth has his own app that can guide you on your path toward getting in perfect shape — it’s called Centr.
Getting fit like Thor might sound intimidating, but Centr has something in it for everyone, regardless of your fitness level, age, and goals. The app is said to feature guidance from Hemsworth’s fitness team, and it gives you access to various workouts, from strength training to pilates and yoga. One of the key programs on the app is called Centr Unleashed, which is a bodyweight plan that doesn’t require any additional equipment.
Centr gives you a weekly planner, complete with workouts and meals. You can swap the workouts as you see fit, get new recipes prepared by Hemsworth’s chefs, and follow any program that you want. There are also calming mindfulness exercises to help you tend to your mental health. Centr connects to WatchOS, so if you have an Apple Watch, you can use it to track your heart rate and energy expenditure.
Given that Hemsworth itself markets it, it’s no wonder that Centr is fairly expensive. Following a 7-day trial, you’ll need to start paying. The yearly plan costs $119.99, the quarterly plan costs $59.99, but the monthly plan costs a whopping $29.99.MyFitnessPal
