Whether in the gym or outdoors, we’ve all seen athletes with a phone in their arms or in their hands. If you are in many cases, it is to listen to music through headphones, your mobile can also give you your times, calories burned and instructions to be done using applications.

There are many of them, and it is very difficult to choose the right one between free, those that are free, but which turn into paid services for some options, and those that are completely paid. Runkeeper from Asics and Nike Training are two great classics for lovers of walking, running and cycling and, above all, they are free! You will find perfect times and specific advice there.

8fit is also in this niche with, in addition, food tips. 7 Minutes promises you a host of 30-second exercises to do every day to get back in shape at home. Decathlon also offers programs based on your sport and your goals.

The watches offer tailored exercises

For other applications, it will be a matter of making a choice. Stay in the free section, but always limited, or switch to the paid section for more choice and interactions, especially, with the community. This is the case with Strava. Popular with athletes, you will find running and cycling routes near you and over all distances.

You will even be able to see the times of professionals, many of whom have posted their times there, whether runners, Tour de France cyclists or professional triathletes. You can even find the profiles of your friends, colleagues or neighbors, because Strava is such a reference today. Adidas has also chosen this option with Runtastic and its basic or professional versions.

Smartwatches are also an option. Apple, Polar, Suunto or Garmin appear in their app. “Our products, including our watches, make it possible to collect data and this is Garmin’s strength,” said Matthieu Lagrange, bike product and equipment manager for the brand. Also, Garmin Connect is very open to the public, including many “peace” (peace). We have data on sleep, health, number of steps. We can give ourselves weekly or monthly challenges. »

Therefore, with the American giant connected watches, it is possible for everyone to take control of their body. But above all – as with some of its competitors – the training ideas are put forward by an algorithm. “Based on the data recorded throughout the day, the quality of your night, your activity, the watch can offer a training called “adaptation” which takes into account all the possibilities and, possibly, the sports goal that is cover. Besides, the more you wear your watch, the more it goes, because it learns from your body,” explained the expert.
