Top 5 Android Apps for Weight Loss

My 5 Favorite Weight Loss and Exercise Apps for Android Phones



Not only is this app great for getting you to eat the right foods, it is also great at getting you to look at food differently. Using volumetrics, it teaches you to estimate your calorie intake. This app makes calorie counting easy, and somewhat fun. The free version has a weight log, activity log, and a food log making it a great all around weight loss tracker. Go pro and log your waist measurements.


This app will get you sweating, even in the winter! This app is a must have for on the go exercise. The exercises are tough, so if you are a couch potato go slow and make sure to stretch before hand. This exercise program is geared toward women, but men could do it as well. The detailed instruction and videos make this app easy for beginners, but the variety of exercises and levels makes it great for pros as well. Nike really outdid themselves!


Too sore to workout, get that mat out and give Daily Yoga a try. The programs are free on the play market and the detailed instruction and videos make it my number one yoga app. Easy to use and portable you will never have to drive to a yoga session again. Choose from a variety of sessions that start at just 10 minutes! Don't say you don't have a free 10 minutes to get a workout in.


This app is all about rewarding you for getting fit and moving. Record your exercise and earn points with Mpoints, Kipp Rewards, and Pocket Change. You will need to earn a lot to redeem anything worthwhile, but you do get some instant rewards, and if you keep it up you could earn yourself some cool prizes just for getting in shape!


Songza is a music app. While this is not necessarily weight loss or exercise related, it does help to have some great tunes to keep you motivated while working out. This music app is my favorite for lots of reasons. One, I never have a connection issue, in other words your music won't stop playing when you really need it to push you forward during that run. Two, the song lists are made by professional DJ's and there is TONS of variety. You never need to settle with this app. Three, no ads. When you need the beat the most it will be there, not an ad for jewelry or food. Songza's music concierge will match your activity with suitable music lists making it very easy to use. 


That is it. While there are LOTS more apps I like out there these five are the ones I use most. Look them up and get them! I promise you will not be disappointed. All have free versions... I have never paid for an app, but I think I would if these five weren't free.
