Hey Everyone!
I hope you all are getting “app-crazy” just like me! I definitely have those moments where I go on
app-downloading frenzies and try out a whole slew of new things all at
once. Hopefully this series is giving
you new ideas!
Folder Health
Daily Workout:
Daily workout is yup, you guessed it, an app that gives you workouts. When you open the app, you can choose between
a full body workout, or workouts that target either your abs, arms, butt,
cardio, or legs. From there you can
choose length of time, which variation of the workout you would prefer to
complete and whether you would like to pick and choose exercises, or start a
workout cycle. This app is great for
getting in small doses of powerful workouts into your day.
Relax Melodies:
This app is filled with different sounds such as “river,” “flute,” or
“campfire,” that you can mix and match together to create your own unique blend
of a sleep machine. I used to have major
issues falling asleep and staying asleep and sleep apps like this helped
tremendously. Thankfully, I don’t need
to use them on a regular basis anymore, but I do tend to keep on or two handy
for when I do need them.
Nature Sounds: Another sleep sound app, this app is more
basic that Relax Melodies, and only has five sounds to choose from. However, if you’re looking for a quick fix to
sleep problems, this works just as well and for me, sometimes it was the better
option. Overall, if you have sleep
issues or are looking for a white noise type machine for sleeping, I highly
recommend checking out some of the sleep apps out there. Both of the apps I have were free, and there
are tons out there.
My Fitness Pal: I
have a love/hate relationship with this app and program. This program can be great when used to it’s
full ability, but to do that you almost have to micromanage your food intake to
the point where it’s unhealthy and you obsess over every single calorie. However, it does make you more aware of just
how many calories you consume each day.
For instance, after learning just how many calories was in my daily
white mocha at Starbucks in college, I definitely learned I was going to have
to cut back.
Folder: Other
Mint: Mint, the
app for the financial website mint.com, is a great tool for tracking your daily
spending and saving. Mint has the
capabilities that the online site does, but it’s all done from your phone
(duh!). I’ve been using the website for about
a year now, and absolutely love it. I
can create financial goals for myself (like save up for a trip to Europe,
etc.), track my spending each month, create budgets – pretty much anything
financial that you can think of, mint can do.
If you’re looking for a good financial planning method, or are not so
money-minded like me, then I highly recommend checking out Mint.
Quote of the Day:
I really enjoy reading quotes and getting a bit of inspiration or wisdom each
day, and this app is great for me. I’ve
even begun tweeting out some of my favorites (#quoteoftheday). There are many great quote apps out there,
but I found this to be the most streamlined for my taste.
Flipboard: Flipboard is an app that I don’t use enough
of. It’s a great concept, and I feel as
if I were to take the time to set it up properly and customize it to my taste,
then it would be amazing. The idea
behind this app is that you create your own personalized ‘magazine’ or
‘flipboard’ based on topics that interest you.
Once created you flip through and can save/favorite items for later if
desired. Again, the concept is great
here, and the app design is really amazing, but personally, mine just isn’t
really functional for me because I haven’t taken the time to set it up for my
tastes. However, I recommend trying it
out. I love the idea, and really need to
get on it and use it!
So there you have it!
Those are all of the apps in my Health and Other folders! I hope this gave you some ideas on new apps
to get, or at least gave you some new insights into apps you already have or
maybe even apps to avoid.
As always, feel free to leave
comments/suggestions/recommendations in the comments down below, and don’t
forget about the new blog email address – constantcomments1@gmail.com !!!!
Happy Reading!
