Staying at home can take its toll on your body, especially if you find that you’ve been spending most of your time lounging on your couch or slouched at your makeshift home office desk. Working out helps, but sometimes it can be difficult to find the motivation to get up and just do it. Luckily, there are a number of apps designed to help you through such slumps. From those with squawking drill sergeants to the soothing tones of yoga instructors, here are six of the best fitness apps to help keep you healthy while staying at home. Seven minutes may not sound like much, but this fitness app by Johnson & Johnson will have you drenched in sweat by the time you're done with a circuit. Its smart workout feature will optimise exercise routines to best match your fitness level, continuously updating as you go. There are a number of apps that utilise the seven-minute high-intensity approach – such as 7<em> </em>Minute Workout,<em> </em>which lets you pick the voices of drill sergeants and cheerleaders to keep you motivated – but what sets this app apart is the fact it is completely free, with no membership fees or in-app purchases to worry about. <em>Free</em> MyFitnessPal, which was bought by the sportswear company Under Armour in 2015, uses gamification elements to keep you motivated, which means you’ll be earning trophies and badges as you progress. MyFitnessPal also keeps track of your diet. You can monitor your food intake by scanning the barcodes of various items or manually finding them within the app’s database. <em>Monthly membership: Dh36.99</em> Glo is a yoga app designed to suit varying skill levels and schedules.
