Buying a smartphone is truly an investment. With the help of these eight apps, you can say goodbye to that monthly gym membership fee and train yourself to your desired body and weight with little to no cost at all (of course, after the data plan you need to download all of these). If you?ve got the motivation, the following apps will get you working out and eating well just in time to finally crack into that New Year Resolution.
Runkeeper (Free)
To lose overall body fat and maintain a steady cardiovascular exercise, running is your best and cheapest option. Runkeeper will keep track of your running speed, distance, calories lost, heart rate, and running time just like you would find on a treadmill. Updates to the app also include an Autopause function that recognizes when you stop moving (in case you come across a traffic light). If you recently bought the Pebble off Kickstarter, the app is also integrated directly with the smartwatch.

Fooducate (Free)
Like the barcode scanner in Calorie Counter, Fooducate focuses primarily on scanning product barcodes for calorie information. Fooducate also takes things a step further by showing you the good and bad of a certain food item, and recommendations for substitutes if you choose to not buy that particular product. Each food item also has a rating as well as a calories per serving comparison to the average product in its category to help you make the healthiest food choices.

Instant Heart Rate (Free?| Pro: $1)
You can run for a mile then stop to manually measure your heart rate by placing your fingers on your neck or wrist and count the pulses, or let your smartphone do the work. Instant Heart Rate measures your pulses by allowing you to place your finger in front of your phone?s camera and track the color changes on your fingertip to determine heart rate. Sounds crazy, but it sure beats counting your own numbers and doing the math after a big workout.

Daily Yoga (Free: Abs, Back, Chest, Hips and Butt)
If you?re more of a relaxed, yoga type of exerciser, Daily Yoga will allow you to look up poses to match the body areas you wish to target. The app is best for those who have specific muscles they prefer working out as the apps for each section come separately, but each app comes with instructional photos and timer to keep track of your exercise. A voice narration also speaks aloud to let you focus on working out rather than staring at the phone.
