Remain Healthy with the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket Cell Phone

By Alex Jose Valenz


Getting fit just got more high tech with the different fitness apps that you can download on your Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. There are a lot of apps out there that count your calories, keep track of your walking or jogging statistics, offer healthy recipes and a lot more. Here is a list of top rated fitness applications for the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket

First up is the highly rated and downloaded Run Keeper Pro. This app makes use of a GPS to track your runs and sends it to the Run Keeper's server for analysis. It monitors your statistics like your time spent running, mileage and calories burned among others. You can track your progress through out your entire course of runs and set goals along the way. This app even has a robotic voice that informs you how far you have ran and the distance you have left to go. Since you are running and using your smart phone outdoors, you should have Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket accessories to protect it. You should have a case as a protective cover and a screen protector to prevent abrasive materials from scratching your screen.

Another fitness app for your mobile device is the Cardio Trainer It's somewhat similar to Run Keeper Pro in some aspects, but this app has a broader take on health and training. Running is not the only type of work out this app focuses on but also other work outs such as biking, walking and ever indoor activities like weights and yoga. This application only tracks the times you are actually in motion that it will put your workout routine to a pause when you are stuck at stop lights or take a drink from a fountain. It has integrated music playback and voice notifications that update you on your progress. The premium version also offers a weight loss training module that you can use to race yourself by beating your best times.

Fitness is not all about exercise. A good diet is also important in keeping trim and healthy. Apps like Spark Recipes give you 280,000 delicious but health conscious recipes complete with ingredients, directions and nutritional facts. Because the app shows the nutritional information for every recipe in its catalogue, you would know if a specific dish meets your special diet or nutritional needs. Another food related app is the Fat Secret Calorie Counter. The app supports a food diary where you can enter everything you ate the whole day. This is a great way to be more aware of the things you eat because this app adds up and presents your total fat, carbohydrate and caloric intake in a single day. This calorie-counting app also comes equipped with a personal journal, exercise diary and weight tracker that can assist you in getting into shape.

The last app may sound simple to you, but it is definitely worthy to mention as it can save people's lives. The Stop Smoking App is a tool you can use if you want to quit smoking. It is a common known fact that smoking kills, but smokers still have difficulty quitting. This app gives tips and motivates the user to renounce the habit. It keeps track of your smoking statistics like when the last time you smoked was and how many days, hours and minutes since your last cigarette. It even calculates the money you saved from not smoking.

There is no better device to remind and motivate you like your smart phone. Your phone will become a constant reminder for you to get or keep in shape because you have it with you at all times. If you choose to live a long and healthy life, you can easily do so with these fitness apps.
