This COVID-19 crisis is bringing many consequences, one of them is that with voluntary confinement in our homes we tend to break our routine of healthy habits and sport is precisely the first thing we abandon. Teleworking does not mean that we stop the rest of our daily activities. It is true that many people live in relatively small apartments or houses where playing sports can become a real obstacle, which is why in Actualidad iPhone we want to give you a hand. We bring you four applications with which you will be able to do sports to comply with the # StayAtHome and stop the Coronavirus.
Exercise at home
As its name indicates, the intention of this application is that you can exercise at home without the need for any additional equipment. It has very extensive routines for the whole body, abs, chest and arms among others. It also has a virtual monitor that will guide you step by step and a counter of the exercises we do. Obviously it is prepared for both beginner users and those looking for something more specific. It has a calorie calculator, integrates with the iPhone Health application and keeps track of the results.
As with most applications nowadays it has an integrated payment system, but you can test a large part of its functionalities without having to pay absolutely anything, so you can make the decision freely. It has good reviews in the iOS App Store that give it no less than 4,9 / 5 stars with more than 2.000 evaluations. It is compatible with any device running iOS 9 or higher and is only 250 MB, so it doesn't take up too much space. This is undoubtedly a great alternative when it comes to doing sports at home without any specific equipment.
8fit: Training and recipes
This is one of the oldest and most popular applications internationally. With it we focus not only on exercising at home, but it will also focus on our diet. Good nutrition is essential in order to maintain the results obtained with exercise and above all to maintain a healthy physical state. This application has different objectives that will help us lose weight, get in shape or gain muscle mass depending on our interests and especially our needs.
The application makes a calculation of our physical state and will provide us with a meal and training plan that adapts to our needs. Remember that it is compatible with the iPad and Apple TV, so it is quite versatile and it allows us to take advantage of almost any space in our home. As expected, it has integrated payments, something that happens with most applications lately. It weighs exceptionally little, just over 120 MB of space, and will be compatible with devices that are running a version equal to or greater than iOS 11, which is not bad either. To move boys and girls.
Seven - 7 minutes of exercise
Time is short, and the fact that we are teleworking or that we have to take care of the most needy of the family can mean that we hardly have time to dedicate to the cult of the body. Thus Seven is such a popular app, it promises results with just 7 minutes of exercise a day and that has made it one of the most downloaded and valued applications in the sector. You will be able to train without the need for any type of material and create an exercise habit thanks to its short periods of time. Due to its typology, it is sometimes the most difficult to adopt if you do not have a previous physical form.
You can set goals such as losing weight or gaining muscle mass, You simply have to take into account what your physical capacities are, since Seven is designed to put you to the limit without using any type of material. Sevens exercises are fast, so you should be prepared in advance to keep up with the rhythm. As expected, it has a series of integrated payments if we want to use all its functionalities and in this case it weighs 300 MB, being compatible with any device that is running iOS 12 but without its version for Apple TV.
5 minutes of Home Fitness
Another application focused on exercising at home for short periods of time and that will help us maintain physical shape thanks to HIT exercises. This application will allow us to take advantage of up to six groups of sessions: Abs, fat loss, chest and arms, buttocks and legs, yoga and Pilates. It is a fairly complete application and it also has its own version for iPad, which is something to take into account. The advantage is that it promises that it will keep us in shape by dedicating only five minutes a day to the sport, will they be very daring?
Don't have the time or willpower to get in shape? Try this app. All sessions have timed work and rest periods to ensure that the exercises do not last more than 5 minutes. Even the busiest person in the world should have 5 minutes to exercise!
In principle, as with the rest, this is a free application but it offers a "premium" version that will allow us to unlock different configurations that are not in the free version. All the exercises have detailed instructions and 3D animations that show us how to do them correctly. The application also takes into account your progression so it will adapt to your needs based on the time you have been using it and the objectives achieved. It weighs only 160 MB and can be run on devices that have iOS 11 or a later version of the operating system.
We hope that thanks to this compilation you can do some exercise at home and stay in shape despite the quarantine. Remember, you should not leave the house except for reasons of extreme necessity, it is important that we all collaborate in the fight against COVID-19.
