Written by Tim Slater | Losing weight is a lot easier said than done. Starting up an exercise program can be difficult, but adhering to one and keeping a steady diet is even harder. There aren’t any tips, tricks, or secrets – losing weight requires hard work. However, there are ways you can help yourself do so. Here are a few apps that can help you kick off your long-awaited exercise and diet program!

1. FitnessClass

I know how difficult it can be to get to the gym. It just seems like there’s never enough time. There are so many fitness classes you want to take, but each one comes with some sort of scheduling conflict. School, work, children, and life in general all have a habit of getting in the way at times. But, if you’re a go-getter with a lot of individual drive, the app FitnessClass can help you out. With this, you can get the instruction and intensity of a real-life fitness class straight from your smart device. There are over 70 classes to choose from, including: ab workouts, endurance training, strength training, toning, and many more. FitnessClass can help you train and exercise at your own convenience. Now you definitely don’t have any excuse for why you aren’t working out! Get going with FitnessClass!

2. Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker

MyFitnessPal brings to you an easy way to keep track of your calories and diet. The Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker is a simple app that provides you with one of the largest food databases of any app ever. This gives you a quick and easy way to keep track of all the calories that you take in during the day. You can set goals for yourself according to your age, gender, activity level, and more. This will help you begin shredding away those extra pounds. You can even share your information with friends to help support each other’s progress. This great app can even help you keep reports of yourself, allowing you to keep track of your weight, measurements, activity and more. Plus, to help you stay on top of your game, you can log in via your smart device or computer (as long as you have internet access). Stay connected to your diet with MyFitnessPal!

3. Alarm.com

While you’re out burning those calories at the gym or in the park, help yourself keep an eye on your home. For me, the app from Alarm.com syncs up with my Frisco home security system. This gives me the home security monitoring I need when I’m out exercising. The Alarm.com app lets me focus every bit of energy I have towards losing weight so I can lead a healthy lifestyle. In order to use this app, you just need a home security system that is compatible. Companies like Smith Monitoring can get you hooked up with a comprehensive home security system that lets you take full control with the Alarm.com app. So, stop worrying about your home and start concentrating on shredding those extra pounds!
