Let’s face it. We all struggle with motivation and consistently working on our fitness goals. It’s hard to eat healthy all the time, and sometimes we’re surprised by how many extra calories those couple glasses of white wine at happy hour added to our calorie count for the day. Fitness apps are an excellent way to set personal fitness goals, track your progress, and gain access to a wide variety of workouts and healthy lifestyle information.
