As a busy mom, you’ll appreciate this app because it lets you organize your day in 30-minute intervals. The default time is 30 minutes, but you can easily customize your time intervals. Schedule 15-minute breaks during your day just for yourself so that you can regroup mentally. Set up your daily tasks and reorganize them at any time. Daily tasks are color-coded for better visuals, so you can have a clear outline of what you need to do.
 

Couch to 5K

Ever thought about running a race but just can’t find the time? You’ll love this app. This app is a beginner 5K training plan. With little or no running background, this app will get you off that couch. Each session is about 30 minutes, and just three days a week. For even more motivation, track your time and distance. Challenge yourself each time to go further or run longer.
 

Fitnet

Have you ever tried getting to the gym after a long day with the kiddos?  Well, Fitnet is an app designed for people who just can’t get to the gym. Be warned — you have to give this app permission to use your camera. The camera will measure how closely you follow the workout routine. You can do five- and seven-minute target workouts.
 

Lifesum

The Lifesum app is not just a weight loss app, but one that focuses on creating a realistic approach to maintaining and sustaining a healthy lifestyle.  It can be used to improve your exercise habits and make more nutritional, healthy food choices.

Adequate sleep is also a part of a healthy lifestyle. In fact, adults 18 to 64 years old need at least seven to nine hours of sleep each day. Constantly tired in the morning, but can’t figure out why? This app could help you. Sleep Talk monitors your sleep and tracks any noise you make. Find out if you snore or talk in your sleep. Knowing your sleep quality also can help your doctor determine if you have health concerns such as sleep apnea.
The road to a healthy lifestyle is right at your fingertips. Just remember, whatever fitness app you choose, make sure it fits with your long-term health goals.
