What apps do you use during your workout?

[Casval]

I am interested to see how other people use their phones to maximize workout routines or weight loss goals. What apps do you use? Do you use it to listen to music? Watch TV? Or do you use it to keep track of your routine?

I'll start..

I use the C25K app for all of my jogging. I was (still am) in poor shape when I began to exercise again. This one helped me ease into the idea of running and has been a huge help in increasing my stamina. It's a cool app that tells you when to start running and walking and gradually increases in intensity and duration over time. Here is the description of the program from the C25K website if you're not aware of the program: "C25K has been designed to get just about anyone from the couch to running 5 kilometers or 30 minutes in just 9 weeks."

I also use my phone's stopwatch to time my laps as time myself during various exercises.

Sometimes when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to work out, I play an episode of Star Trek off of my phone to watch while I exercise. Then I can still feel like I'm watching TV while tricking my body into doing something productive and the time flies by.

I use CardioTrainer to keep track of my exercise routine and how many calories I've burned during workouts. I use Lose It to keep track of calorie, etc., count as well as the foods I eat. (Helps me to maintain my weight.)

Normally, I'm listening to Pandora during workouts. When I run on the treadmill, I watch Netflix.

I just use Google Play Music. I may bring my tablet to the gym and read a magazine on the Play Newsstand while I'm on the elliptical.
