It is a new year and it’s that time of the year we hear all kind of resolutions from our friends and family. The most common resolution of the season is focus towards fitness and workouts. Though it is quite a task to stick to this resolution for more than a week, it is of course in our power to strive towards it in whatever way possible. So, worry not about the hurdles, start working towards it.
Be it a gentle jog in the morning or a heavy cardio session in the gym, every activity counts to your health. So, what could possibly motivate you every day if not for the progress? That’s why there are various apps to help you track all your activities on a daily basis and help you monitor your progress with the aid of metrics and stats of your activities.
While any leading app in the industry can help you with adequate data, you can enjoy the benefits of Apple Health and Strava, two of the most effective apps available, provided if you are an iPhone user. You can either manually key in your activities to these apps to manage your data or configure to synchronize the activities between them automatically. To do so, you’ll have to first establish connection between Strava and Apple Health app and then import the activities to Strava.
