Maybe it’s a pool party with the “in” crowd, or a nerdy gathering with fellow otakus. Whichever it is, use these apps to get a body worth talking about.

Cakewalk (iOS, Free with IAP)
Step-tracking apps are a dime a dozen. Step-tracking apps that shame you if you’re lazy? Not so many. Cakewalk determines your daily goal by calculating your daily average step count over the past week; walk less than 50% of this daily goal and Cakewalk will force you into a challenge. The worse part? Fail this challenge and you’ll be publicly shamed on Twitter. As the developer accurately puts it, it’s as if your roommate was a fitness app.
Burn your fat with me!! (iOS/Android, $1.48/$2.60 with IAP)
Do you like anime? If so, this “fitness app/dating sim that provides players with the motivation to work out through moé”—is for you. For those outside of this circle, “moé” is that heart-melting feeling a guy gets when he sees an adorable female anime character. So instead of solving puzzles, you advance the game by clearing fitness goals, like doing 50 situps in 3 minutes. A gal-oriented version of this app (with male voice actors!) is also available.
Runtastic Butt Trainer (iOS/ Android, Free with IAP)
You may have heard of Runtastic’s GPS app for running or its Six Pack app for abs training - but have you heard of the company’s Butt Trainer app? Filled with intense butt and leg workouts, including over 50 HD instructional butt exercise videos if you pony up for the full version, this is the app to get in your quest for a sexier pair of legs and a more lifted behind. Because sculpted abs should never be ruined by an undefined rear.
Zombies, Run! (iOS/ Android, Free with IAP)
If the risk of heart diseases can’t motivate you to exercise, maybe the prospect of being eaten by zombies can. Zombies, Run! is a zombie survival “game” that aims to get you to run for real. While you can take a slow jog, you better pick up the pace when you hear zombies on your six. And please don’t run like a headless chicken; you need to pick up vital supplies, build your base, and help keep other people alive while at it.
