Mobile app recommendations: fitness apps
Abstract
Purpose
Whether you live in a hemisphere where frigid weather or sweltering heat keeps you indoors for months, have a busy professional and social schedule that allows little (if any) time for physical activity other than walking up and down the stairs at work or just cannot figure out how to alter your daily routine – fitting in a fitness schedule is not always as simple as setting an alarm clock 30 min early.
Design/methodology/approach
People often, me included, lead highly hectic lives, trying to keep up with appointments and deadlines, and as such working out during the week can be easily neglected.
Findings
After all, how many of us truly have the time to get to an aerobics class, to the gym or go running as often as we would like?
Social implications
We are a go go go society in which many of us compromise our well-being for meeting deadlines. Nevertheless, most of us aim to lead a healthier life.
Originality/value
You may be thinking by now – what do fitness, libraries and technology have to do with one another? Quite a bit.
