If you’re anything like me, you struggle with staying active and healthy during the year. I get tired and don’t want to go workout, but I’ve scoured the internet and found apps which make staying active easy and fun! That’s why I’ve put together 5 Empowering Apps That Will Motivate You to Stay Healthy!

1.  Tracking Steps – Fitbit App Mobile Tracker

The best thing about the Fitbit App’s Mobile Tracker is that you don’t need a Fitbit to use the feature! Instead you can just pair the app with your phone, so it syncs with all of your phone’s steps. Before using this feature, I never felt motivated to get steps in. I didn’t really care about working out. But when I downloaded it and first reached 10,000 steps, I knew I had to make exercise a priority.

Available for Free: iOS, Android

2. Doing Good While Exercising – Charity Miles

I know I have always had a hard time getting myself to be active. Charity Miles has helped me fix this! Charity Miles is an incredible app that will donate money to foundations whenever you run, walk, or bike. The app lets you choose to donate to over 40 different charitable causes, and has already raised over $2,500,000 for incredible causes!
