RunKeeper
If you love to run, jog or hike RunKeeper is the application for you. Although this app has been around for a while, it is still considered to be one of the greatest fitness apps on the market. RunKeeper is a simple and free feature-rich application for iPhone and Android users. It uses your phone’s GPS to track your run in real time and provide you with audio alerts throughout to keep you on track and motivated. The app then allows you to track your progress, set goals and plan a training regime that can also track bike rides.
Zombies, Run!
If you’re a fan of the popular television show ‘The Walking Dead’ you will appreciate this next fitness app. The zombie craze has officially reached the fitness arena with this fun and highly motivating application.

Missions to help motivate you include gathering supplies, saving a fellow human and of course out-running a zombie. This app is sure to amp up your normal running routine with imagination and competition. Zombies, Run! is iPhone and Android compatible and costs $3.99. Alexander Park is a three-minute walk from Hazelview’s 3445 Riverside Drive East and is a great place for your zombie run.
MyFitnessPal
If weight loss is your main goal, MyFitnessPal is a fantastic option for tracking your daily activity and caloric intake. This application is Android, iPhone and BlackBerry compatible and free to download. Users create a profile based on age, gender and current weight. Once this information has been input, the application calculates a proposed daily calorie consumption personalized just for you. Users can then log their daily food intake manually or by scanning barcodes. MyFitnessPal also tracks your progress by providing detailed graphs and statistics so users can easily visualize their progress.
