The 10 Best Workout and Exercise Apps for Lazy Girls

AKA easy fitness plans you can follow without even hitting the gym.

Nothing kills your exercise motivation faster than a roomful of witnesses at the scene of your Not Nailing That Yoga Pose. But that's where workout apps for your smart phone (that you can use in the privacy of your home) come in. Got a large sweat stain on your workout top? Great. Taking 10 breaks in between your cardio? No one will know. Below, 10 must-have fitness apps that will help you tone up and earn some much needed endorphins—on your own terms.



Sworkit

Fitness app Sworkit (catchy!) lets you pick your poison through either yoga, cardio, strength training, or stretching. The app comes with a timer from 5 to 60 minutes (lest you *still* haven't purchased a fitness-friendly smartwatch) and demonstrates how to do all exercises for the truest beginners. Plus, the healthy mixture of "Okay, I've got this" and "Is this almost over??" intensity sets is a serious plus for those of us who haven't really worked out since gym class.

Keelo

For whenever you graduate to that "all-over hurt" Crossfit-level workout (a 2017 resolution?), you can plug-in with Keelo, a high-intensity workout that's got all the goods to help you workout out beyond the gym. The app even gives you access to a virtual coach who responds to questions and gives feedback on your workouts, so you can feel like a celebrity with a personal trainer.

Charity Miles

Kill two birds this new year with an app called Charity Miles that allows you to donate to charity while you burn calories. Sponsors like Johnson & Johnson, Chobani, and Humani donate a few cents to charities per mile you move via biking, running, or even walking which is even more incentive to lace up your sneakers and get to stepping.

Daily Ab Workout

If you're focusing on your core, the free app Daily Ab Workout is one of the best ways to tone and strengthen abdominals as if there were a trainer next to you helping you count reps. Prop your phone up to watch the fitness model and get to crunching.

Daily Butt Workout

Hate doing butt exercises for a gym full of people to see? We hear you. Daily Butt Workout has you covered with targeted methods for following exercises like squats and donkey kicks at home, all in the pursuit of a firmer Kardashian-esque bottom.

Daily Yoga

For all of those that want to be a little bit more zen on a daily basis— you won't have to worry about falling over in yoga class while doing a warrior pose anymore. Daily Yoga offers a personalized coach and plenty of poses to choose from, plus meditation classes for people who want to de-stress and feel more focused.

Nike + Training Club

Nike + Training Club is the ultimate app for fitness enthusiasts who want to experience an intense sweat session with a variety of options for their workout. Choose from drills and audio guides from a professional Nike trainer, athletes like Serena Williams, or even stars like Ellie Goulding. Plus, track your progress and unlock reward content

Most people don't exactly have the time and energy to devote to a sweaty morning run before work, so this 7-minute workout app from Johnson & Johnson devises bite-sized cardio workouts you can finish on a time crunch before hitting the shower. The app also ranges in difficulty level, from beginners to fitness junkies.

Fitstar Personal Trainer

If customization is your biggest goal, here's your one-stop app for a fitness plan that's catered to your body type and workout capacity. It won't push you beyond your limits, but also helps your build up your strength to take on more challenging routines over time.

Relax Melodies

So you've done the cardio, the crunches, the planks, and even the Downward-Facing Dog. What's next? Stretching and a good night's sleep for your body to recover. Relax Melodies allows you to cool down to a range of calming sounds including rain, wind, and white noise (read: not the sound of email alerts).
