A healthy mind resides in a healthy body and vice versa. While most technology pushes us towards a more sedentary lifestyle, some of it could help those with greater willpower pursue fitness. More than high-tech gym equipment, portable technology in the form of apps could be helpful for both tracking and advisory purposes.
Fitness apps for Windows 11/10
Here is a list of some of the best Fitness apps for Windows 11/10.
1] Simply Yoga
While still a subject of debate in the West, yoga actually works. This is something I could say from personal experience, enough to deny those who criticize yoga. One reason to rely on yoga (or at least include it in your fitness schedule) is that most of our day-to-day activities don’t involve weightlifting; however, being flexible, active, and alert is pretty helpful. Thus, yoga offers what weightlifting cannot.
Simply Yoga is the best yoga app available at the Microsoft Store. The app is one of those usual ones that help instruct through videos and images, and help follow a schedule. Check more details about the app here.

2] HealthVault
HealthVault is one of those perfect health apps that include the best of everything. No, it isn’t a training app, but it’s made to monitor your overall health stats. It keeps track of your vitals (eg. monitors cholesterol, bp, etc.). Users can make their own health schedule and track progress. The good part about HealthVault is that it is comprehensive and the reports it can record can include every possible minute detail. Get this app from here and plan your schedule. It is available for PCs only.
3] Active Fitness
While body-building has its own enthusiasts, when we use the word fitness, it is more about how your body responds to situations and, of course, stamina. True fitness is not about building muscle but about training your body to handle everyday situations effectively, something that can be achieved by practicing basic exercises like running, swimming, and walking. The Active Fitness is a social network and tracking app for activities such as urban sports like watersports, kayaking, rafting, skateboarding, scooter riding, etc. Download the app from here.
4] Perfect Workout
The only reason I included this app in the list is its high user rating. While nothing more than a typical fitness instruction app, the interface is crisp and easy to use, making it a favorite among users. Animations and charts help trainees maintain their fitness. The app is available at the Microsoft Store here for those who wish to download.
5] Rain Sound – Relax Melodies With Deep Sleep Music
A customized app for mental peace, Rain Sounds plays sounds of different rains, eg, a storm, calm beach, gentle rain, etc. They say that the sound of rain helps soothe the mind and uplift the mood. The app’s downloads and ratings support this. Get this amazing app from the Microsoft Store.
6] Fit Diary
A light app, Fit Diary helps you count calories, organize your diet, modify your schedule, etc. The app works offline and tracks your vitals to help monitor your fitness. This simple app is available in the Microsoft Store.
7] Daily Workouts
The Daily Workouts app helps trainees learn bodyweight fitness exercises and schedule them. Usually stretches, ball exercises, pilates, etc. Given that people usually have busy schedules, the high-intensity workouts suggested by the Daily Workouts app are appropriate. To get access to more than 170 exercises covering all major body muscles, download the app from the Microsoft Store here.
8] Gym Workouts
The difficult part of gym exercises is that while they have to be correct and precise, most people don’t know how to do it right. The way you bend, the momentum of the body, the importance of warm-up, everything matters. The Gym Workouts app is custom-made to help trainees work out with precise instructions. It is a no-nonsense app with exact pictures of the poses. The app helps you connect with other like-minded trainees and share your schedule with your friends. Get the app from the Microsoft Store here.
9] Glycemic Index & Load Diet Assistant
Glycemic Index is a measure of how quickly a specific food raises blood glucose. On a scale of 1-100, 100 represents pure glucose, and all other foods are compared accordingly. The Glycemic Index & Load Diet Assistant app is a must-have for diabetics, as they should know what to eat, but its use isn’t limited to them.
It’s well known that sugar is bad for health, even if you do not have diabetes, making the Glycemic Index & Load Diet Assistant app necessary for every fitness trainee. Managing the same would help with weight loss and getting fit. This useful app is available from the Microsoft Store here.
10] Winter Sports
The Winter Sports app covers winter sports like skiing. It is the official app of the Professional Ski Instructors of America and the American Association of Snowboard Instructors. The best part about the app is that it allows for networking with fellow trainees. The app is available in the Microsoft Store.
