As of today most people either use some type of smartphone, whether that be an IPhone or an Android. There are thousands of Apps that help people with their daily lives every day.  Little did you know, there are several Apps that apply to directly health and fitness. They can do things like track your distance when on a run to look up calories for the food you put in your body. These Apps could really come in handy when switching over to a healthy lifestyle. Today I will tell you about a few of my favorites!
