Fueling Right:

Let’s start with the fuel our wellness journey runs on. Wellness often entails balance, so before you start starving yourself and working out incessantly, check out these apps that can help you develop better eating habits.

  • Mealime: A meal planner that helps you make healthy choices head of time, so you don’t just end up grabbing the quickest and easiest option.

  • Noom: This app uses psychological research to help build better habits allowing you to meet your weight and diet goals.

  • Lose It!: This app acts as a personal calorie counter and food/meal tracker to help you stick to your diet goals and eat healthier.
Sleeping Well:

If you don’t sleep well, it’s tough to feel well. But the tricky part is knowing how well you actually slept since, well…you’re asleep during that time. Let these apps help you rest easier.

  • Sleep Cycle: Tap into your body’s natural sleep cycle with this app that analyzes your sleep and can even work as an alarm that will wake you up at the right moment in your sleep cycle so that you feel the most refreshed and awake.

  • SleepScore: How can you analyze sleep when it’s not quantifiable? You download Sleep Score, which turns your sleep patterns into a score that can be more easily analyzed.
Get Active, Get Fit:

Physical activity is not only good for your body, it’s good for your mind and your mood. Make sure you’re getting the most out of your activity with these apps.

  • Gentler Streak Workout Tracker: Gentler Streak stimulates a self-compassionate approach to exercise, where recovery is as important as intensity. Find your balance and fully embrace an active life done your way.

  • ASICS Runkeeper: This GPS fitness-tracking app helps you track your fitness activities such as walking, running and cycling. Once you complete an activity, Runkeeper provides basic statistics of that activity like how far you've gone, a map of your path, how fast you're going, and how many calories you've burned. The app also offers "challenges" that require you to complete a defined workout within a time limit.
Get Centered:

We often talk about body and mind as separate entities but more and more research is showing us just how connected our minds and bodies really are.

  • Calm: Calm is a sleep and meditation app to help you get better sleep, lower stress, and lessen anxiety.

  • Yoga for Beginners: The name is fairly self explanatory. This app lets you build a regular yoga practice right from your phone! If you’re nervous about jumping right into group yoga classes, start with this app and build some confidence.

  • Headspace: Headspace is filled with soothing, guided meditations—like breathing exercises, body scans, and more! Headspace makes living mindfully extremely approachable, especially if you’re trying it for the first time.
Build Better Habits:

Bad habits are hard to break. Good habits are hard to build. These apps could give you the edge you need to get in the habit of wellness.

  • Done: A Simple Habit Tracker - Done helps you create healthy routines by letting you set goals, track your progress, and motivate you with streaks and chains. Done can help you both build and quit habits over time.

  • Streaks: As the name implies, this app helps you build “streaks” of healthy habits—whether it’s eating healthy, working out, taking the dog for a walk, studying a foreign language, or just about anything else.

  • Flamy: This is an app designed to help people quit smoking. You can set goals, use different motivations to meet those goals, and even monitor different aspects of your health that will improve as you smoke less.
Mental and Emotional Wellness:

Wellness isn’t just physical—it also includes feeling well emotionally and mentally.
