If you lack time to stick to workout class schedules or the sheer motivation to crank it out at the gym on your own, help is here – right on your phone. Audio fitness apps like Aaptiv are a wonderland of guided classes that you can stream, including goal-oriented programmes to strengthen your core, build your flexibility or train for a 10km run. “Audio is the best delivery for fitness content because it allows for complete freedom of movement,” says Aaptiv CEO and founder Ethan Agarwal. Compared to workout videos, there’s zero need to crane your neck and stare at the screen while you’re planking or lifting weights. All you need to do is slip on your earbuds, press play, and let a voice guide you through the workout of your choice. First-timers enjoy a free one-week trial. Visit aaptiv.com or download the Aaptiv app (available at the App Store and Google Play) for more info.
