#2 Free Fitness App that I love for Beginning or Restarting Exercise & Running!

Nike has two apps on my top 5 list. I like both the Nike Training Club (NTC) and the Nike Run Club apps. For this post, I'll stick to why NTC is one of my favorite apps to recommend to women just starting or restarting their fitness journey.

You need little to no equipment for many of their workouts. You can also select from areas like "Workout Focus," "Muscle Group," "Equipment," "Trainer-Led Classes," and more. The key as a trainer is encouraging women to create a plan (check out my online class that helps you plan your training). Only doing core to lose the mama's belly will not work; focus on training the whole body, cardio, strength training, stretching, and meditation.

NTC has short videos for each movement. In the fitness world, we sometimes call the same exercise by different names; other times, an exercise has a universal name. Herenorthere, I love that NTC shows you the movements and provides key cues to focus on to help you perform quality movements and maximize the benefit of the exercise.

You can save, schedule, and share a workout! I love that you can save for your favorite workouts. Saving a workout is also helpful if you want to repeat it in your program; you can save it instead of searching for it. If you use the in-app scheduler, the app will send you a reminder before your workout. What about a workout partner? Now you and a friend can do the same workout. Just click the share button and send it to your friend.

The NTC app is free, and the running app is just as amazing with training programs for a mile, 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon. There's an app called FitBod next on my list to explore.

What is your favorite fitness app? I want to check it out. Is it paid or free?
