Here are the best fitness tracking apps for your new Apple Watch

So you’ve got yourself an Apple Watch or maybe you’ve been looking at our refurbished Apple Watch collection and thinking of taking the plunge and upgrading your wearable tech. What’s next? Well, you’ll want to get the best out of your watch with these fitness trackers! Here are our top picks of free and paid apps that every Apple Watch user should take a look at.

Heart Analyzer

You probably already know that your Apple Watch can monitor your heart rate but with the FREE Heart Analyzer app, you can get more out of this data. The data you are shown on the watch face can be customised to ensure you can see the information most useful. So next time you’re heading out for a cardio workout you can make sure your heart rate is in range for the duration of your exercise. Not only does this allow you to monitor your heart rate but also maximise your capabilities when working out, after all, it’s about working smarter not harder.

Watch To 5K

Whether you are just starting out with running or looking to better yourself you can use the Watch to 5K: Running Program app to help you lose weight and feel great. Whilst other guides online are free this nine-week couch to 5K plan does have a cost of £2. But we think this is worth it because you’ll be guided through weekly runs with clear on-screen instructions and haptic feedback to help you stay on track with walking and running intervals. The best part is the app works independently from your phone so if you want to minimise how much you are taking out with you this is a great option.

Seven – 7 Minute Workout

Another free one for anyone who wants to start or build their fitness journey. With Seven Minute Workout you can use your Apple watch to get into shape with no membership fee or equipment required. The app works on your iPhone simultaneously to show you how to correctly perform each exercise to maximise the workout.

 

Hole19

This is one specifically for the golfers out there but because this app has so many features we felt it deserved a spot on this list. Hole19 allows you to keep track of your score and provides distance to the front, middle and back of the green throughout each hole you play. Your fairway skills will have never been so accurate – and there’s no disputing the winner. Hole19 knows 42,000 courses in 201 countries so wherever you are playing you can use the app to help. The app is free to download and definitely worth giving a try.

Peloton

Whilst you might be thinking this brand is all about exercise bikes and pricey subscriptions the Peloton app can be used for free on your Apple Watch to help you stay motivated. Track progress and achieve your fitness goals. The app allows you to stream videos on your device which can now use the Chromecast feature to get your video on the big screen, whilst the watch face provides information on Pace, Distance and Heart Rate.

 

MyFitnessPal

Getting fit isn’t all about the workouts you do, it’s important that you have good nutrition too. With the MyFitnessPal app, you can track your diet and get information on your calorie intake. The app shows you a breakdown of what you’ve eaten with consideration of protein, carbs and fats. It aligns your calories burned with the steps you’ve taken so you can see just how much impact walking is having.

Strava

An oldie but a goodie, Strava couldn’t be left off our list. This is the most popular exercise tracking app. From running, cycling and swimming the Apple Watch version gives you details on eight different types of activities with the opportunity to show which data is given. The watch app syncs to your Strava account allowing you to monitor your progress across multiple devices. Whilst the app is free to use you can opt to become a premium member for as little as £5.99 a month.
