Since the creation of the smart phone, applications have helped us in all facets of our lives. From helping us more easily connect with our friends, to keeping us entertained with our lives, to aiding us in getting directions to any destination, mobile applications have turned cell phones into virtual personal assistants. One area in which mobile applications can be especially helpful is in the arena of health and personal wellness. Here are a few apps if you want to improve your physical well-being.

3. Ian Gaine’s Bootcamp Workout

Working out, for most of us, is never completely fun, although we know it is an essential part of leading a well-balanced life. The best part about Ian Gaine’s Bootcamp Workout is that it motivates you to exercise regularly because it breaks up the workout into very short-term, discrete goals, so you don’t feel overwhelmed by the idea getting in shape.

4. Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock

Aside from eating well and exercising, the most important factor in attaining a well-balanced, healthy life is establishing a consistent quality sleep pattern. Since we are constantly bombarded by the stresses of modern life, it can be very difficult to be aware of your individual sleep cycle to achieve the best possible rest. The Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock is the perfect mobile app to address this problem. The way it works is that you set your phone underneath your pillow. The app has several metrics with which to monitor your sleep pattern, and your alarm will then go off at the most opportune time within a thirty minutes based on your movements while you sleep.

Maintaining a healthy life is the most basic foundation for success, and too few people make it a priority, especially since being healthy is difficult. With the help of these apps and multiple others, you won’t have to try so hard.
