Work up a sweat with these wearable apps

Your new favourite fitness trainer looks great on your wrist. Use your watch to achieve physical activity goals, track your progress and learn new ways to stay fit. Here are five of our favourite Wear OS apps for staying in shape.

If you’ve got seven minutes, you’ve got time for Seven. Choose from a full-body workout, one aimed specifically at losing weight, or let the app select a random routine for you. You’ll complete a seven-minute series of 12 quick exercises, with visual cues from your virtual coach to guide you.

Mark workouts as favourites on the companion phone app to access them later on your watch.

Next time you hit the trail, bring along Outdooractive. Plan your adventure by tapping 'Routes nearby', check local maps on the go, and even view trail topography by tapping the layers icon. Venturing beyond the range of mobile service? Download maps to your watch before you explore.

Adjust the units of measurement and how often your heart rate is monitored in the app settings.

Fitiv is one of the ultimate fitness trackers for nearly every kind of workout. Using your watch’s built-in sensors, it keeps tabs on your vitals and movement during exercises. Easily set health goals, assess your physical fitness and create your own custom workout plans.

Join the Fitiv community to compete against other athletes around the world, or create custom challenges for family and friends.

Track your calories, water intake and movement with the help of My Fitness Pal. Create a custom weight loss plan on the phone app, then log your meals and snacks on your watch as you go about your day. Swipe right to reveal a daily summary of carbs, fat, protein and calories, along with steps and hydration.

Tap the nutrients section to see how much fibre, sugar, potassium and more you’ve consumed.

Experience intense exercise in your own home with Workout Trainer, a destination for thousands of sweat-inducing routines. Access workouts designed by fitness influencers or pay for one-on-one coaching and a custom plan. While displaying a workout timer, instructions for the current exercise and what’s next in the routine, the app also tracks your vitals and activity.

While you don’t need equipment to use the app, adding any gear that you have at home – like weights or bars – will open up new routines.
