3 must-have Apple Watch apps to keep you fit and healthy

Staying on top of your exercise routine, tracking your calorie and water intake and staying motivated during exercise has never been easier. Apple Watch has a wide selection of fitness apps, but here are our three favorites that will allow you to stay fit and healthy directly from your wrist.

Nike+ Running

 

The Nike+ Running app is now conveniently available on Apple Watch. Directly from your wrist you will be able to access distance, duration and pace. You will also be able to receive motivation from your friends and instantly see when they send you a cheer. Through Glances on Apple Watch, you will be able to see how you are tracking on the Nike+ leaderboard and how much harder you have to push. And with Bluetooth-enabled headphones, you can listen to music wirelessly during your run.

MyPlate Calorie Tracker by LIVESTRONG.COM

 

Staying on top of the amount of calories you are consuming daily has never been easier. With the MyPlate Calorie Tracker on your Apple Watch, you can quickly get a snapshot of your calorie count for the day. You can then make a call whether you have that slice of cake or go for a run instead. Tap a meal and select the relevant food in order to track the item you are eating; alternatively use the voice recognition feature and simply track your calorie intake by saying the name of the food. The app also allows you to track exercise, water intake and your weight.

CARROT Fit

 

If you battle to stay motivated and struggle to stick to your fitness goals, then the CARROT Fit app may be the best solution for you. From threats to inspiration, this app will encourage you to keep exercising, and it is now conveniently available on Apple Watch, ensuring you receive judgements and motivation straight to your wrist. The Apple Watch will feature the CARROT Fit 7 Minutes From Hell workout at a glance. During the 10-second break, you can easily look at your Apple Watch to prepare for the next exercise.
