Finding your favorite exercise app may require a little trial and error because you want to see if you are looking for a personal experience or comfortable with a cookie cutter plan.
Where do you use the app? Think about where you mainly use the app. Do you work at home, at the gym, outside or a mix of all three? If you want to run outside, for example, you probably want an app that offers location monitoring. Similarly, when looking at a specific app, find out if its classes require you to have some handy equipment, such as dumbbells or a yoga mat.
Your goals: You should also think about your goals for app use. You just want to move more often, or have specific fitness goals (such as running a certain speed or lifting a certain weight) you want to achieve? Some apps allow you to personalize your goals or even connect with a personal trainer to help you meet them.
Budget: Finally, find out that there are exercise apps for each budget – including free. Some need a monthly subscription to access, so take advantage of free trials to determine if it costs you to cost.
