In earlier times, after-work training was a must. When the pandemic closed my gym and my local yoga studio, I started using apps to regain my routine. So. Many. Apps.
There are three basic categories of digital exercises:
• Gifts include free YouTube apps and exercises. They’re great for getting your feet wet – maybe you’re starting to work out again after a long time. YouTube is where you can try almost any type of workout. The downside is that you have to spend time looking for one, and even a little friction can prevent you from exercising if you are feeling slow.
• Premium programs are like Netflixes for fitness. You typically pay between $ 5 and $ 25 a month to access a large library of on-demand exercises of various types. The fee is probably cheaper than your gym membership. These apps aim to be a one stop shop for exercise. There is usually cardio, strength and yoga offered in the same application. Some include classes broadcast live.
• Zoom studios are the virtual version of state-of-the-art brick and mortar fitness offerings. They are expensive, but working with others in real time and getting personalized webcam instructions can be worth it.
