Lack of time, motivation or means, there is always a good reason to flee the gym. Fortunately, there are many sports apps, ideal for training in your living room between two episodes of your Netflix series. So we draw our phone and we download these 5 apps to do sport at home.
Nike Training Club: for complete exercises
It is THE benchmark for sports applications. Here, we first choose our goal: to refine, tone up, build muscle or get back in shape, and we receive appropriate training. No question of getting bored, the application offers more than 185 free and varied workouts and personalized advice. Exercises can range from strengthening certain targeted parts of the body (arms, abs, etc.) to cardio training focused on boxing or endurance, and even yoga. Programs of 15 to 45 minutes allow everyone to set specific goals, and achieve them according to three levels of difficulty.
The little extras ? The app offers super practical explanatory videos and allows you to follow its progress and results!
Nike Training Club is free and available on the AppStore and Google Play.
FizzUp: for online sports coaching
FizzUp is ideal for those who want to play sports anywhere and anytime. The app offers personalized online coaching, using video exercise tutorials to be performed each day. At any time, you can adjust the duration of the sessions according to your schedule, your level and your goal: to slim, sculpt your body or stay in shape. The training is divided into three parts: a warm-up time, an exercise block and a recovery time.
WE love : the animated coach who advises and motivates us at each session and the speed of the sessions (10 to 20 minutes).
FizzUp, available on Apple Store and Google Play. Subscription required to access the premium package which includes a nutritional guide and unlimited training (€ 7.99 for 1 month, € 59.99 for 6 months or € 89.99 for 1 year).
Asana Rebel: for fans of dynamic yoga
Combining fitness and yoga exercises, the Asana Rebel app is inspired by fractional training (or HIIT), a method that alternates relatively short intense exercise phases with rapid recovery phases. After defining your physical profile (height, weight, etc.) and selecting your objectives, you can access various programs (yoga mixed with cardio, muscle building, HIIT, etc.). But also nutrition advice, healthy recipes, meditation sessions to relax and playlists to fall asleep more easily. In short, everything you need to have a healthy mind in a healthy body!
The free version of the app currently offers different training per day. To access all the content, it takes € 58.99 per year.

8fit: to change your lifestyle
8fit presents itself as a fitness and food coach … online! Once your profile is completed, you can set your sports goals (lose weight, get in shape, gain muscle mass) and indicate your food preferences. The interactive videos and detailed maps allow us to perform the exercises in the best possible way without risk of injury. The paid option (60 € / year) provides a complete nutritional guide available for the paleo, vegan, vegetarian diet, etc.
most ? The 10-minute fitness test which allows us to choose the right level of exercise and the diversity of bodies highlighted on the Instagram account (because no, sport is not reserved for a certain type of body type).
