A

If you’re looking for new and creative ways to get fit and stay healthy, the following clever apps can do everything for you – except the exercise itself.

Hot5 Fitness Platform: iOS Cost: Free

From abs (腰腹训练) and core (核心力量), to yoga (瑜伽) and flexibility (柔韧性) and everything in between, this app contains workout pages and videos that are easy to follow. You can find workout videos of all varieties and difficulty levels that will give you a thorough workout in only five moves.

While most fitness app videos look like they were filmed in the 1980s, Hot5’s are modern. The interface (界面) is also beautifully designed and user-friendly. It is to the point and clear-cut, saving you time by skipping the personal questionnaires and signing-up wait.

Zombies, Run! Platforms: iOS, Android Cost: 25 yuan

Yes, the zombie craze has already reached the fitness field. This action-packed app adds an element that is often missing from other workout apps – fun.

Zombies, Run!, which has a simplified version called Zombies, Run! 5K Training, mixes games and stories into your run as you complete missions (任务) in a world full of zombies. Whether you’re gathering supplies, saving a fellow human, or avoiding a crowd of the undead, this app adds excitement to your normal jog with imagination and competition.

Sleep Cycle Platforms: iOS Cost: 6 yuan

This app tracks your sleeping patterns by following your movements in bed, without having to spend a fortune on fitness trackers such as Jawbone Up. Based on your movements at night, the app wakes you up with soothing music when you’re in the lightest stage of sleep, allowing a natural and easy transition (过渡) into your day. You’ll also get detailed statistics telling when you were awake during the night, or in a deep or light sleep.

You can also add notes about your day – whether you had coffee, worked out, or were stressed – to better understand how your sleep is affected by different daily activities.

RunKeeper Platforms: iOS, Android Cost: Free

This app allows you to track not only runs, but pretty much any kind of training you can think of – from walking to cycling to strength training and more. You can track your personal records and set goals for yourself, such as a weight loss goal or a distance goal. You can then view your progress over time.
