- Get the workout routine
If you’re looking for an exercise program that goes beyond step counting, there are thousands of apps available for both Android and iOS. Especially with the pandemic period, doing sports at home has become more efficient and easier. Workout programs include “Nike Training”, “Sworkit”, “30-Day Fitness Challenge”, “FitOn” and “Home Workouts”.

Among the apps in this category, FatSecret focuses on counting calories and losing weight. It also shares this app data with Apple Health, Google Fit and other apps. Mealdoc: The Healthy Eating application prepares the most suitable nutrition list for you.
