Here are the 5 best fitness apps that will get you panting and sweating. So say goodbye to your personal trainers as we list down these applications with video tutorials for a healthier you.

This app can be used as an add-on to your fitness routine or as your entire workout. If you want to do 5-minute abs after a run, Hot5 is for you. If you want to do a full body workout, mix and match from their plethora of videos. This ‘pick and choose’ system is great for beginners and fitness gurus alike.

You can view your detailed stats on its easy-to-use layout, and also track your progress over time. RunKeeper even allows you to connect with your friends so others can track your achievements and goals.
My favorite feature on this app is the audio cue option. RunKeeper provides real-time coaching by giving you audible updates on your pace, time, distance, and more.
