Two Apps to Decide on Your Muscle Training Menu
First, I will introduce two apps that will introduce you to your muscle training menu.
Even if you are motivated to do muscle training, you can't do anything if you don't know the menu.
That's where an app that suggests muscle training menus comes in.
Various muscle training menus are explained in an easy-to-understand manner, so it is especially recommended for beginners.

This is a muscle training app released by Nike, a world-famous sports brand.
With this app, you can watch more than 185 videos for free and refer to the training menu.
In addition, trainers and athletes explain the points of the menu in the training video, so even beginners can choose the menu with confidence.
It is also a point to set muscle training plans by level, from beginners to professional athletes.
Before actually doing muscle training, check the app and do it with the correct form.
If you get lost, you should definitely install this first.
MY BODY MAKE can also watch muscle training menu videos for free in the app.
It is very polite because they explain the menu not only in the video but also in the text.
The point of this app is that you can choose the parts you want to improve and train them intensively.
Since you can start muscle training from the part you want to train, it is safe for muscle training beginners.
In addition, if you register as a member, you can share your daily muscle training records with other members, which will help you maintain your motivation.
Let's check the menu before muscle training, and share the day's menu after muscle training.
This app is more for beginners and women than the Nike app above.
Two apps that allow you to continue muscle training like a game
We will introduce two apps that will allow you to continue your muscle training in a fun way, like a game.
Even if you think, ``It's good for your health, and you have to do muscle training,'' it's a pretty high hurdle to keep doing it.
Therefore, you can enjoy muscle training by borrowing the power of the app.
Each of these focuses on continuing muscle training, so if you can't keep up with muscle training, please try it.

For those who can't continue muscle training, this app is "Let's do our best for one month!"
Focus on working hard for only one month, and propose a 30-day training menu every day.
First, set the goal of the training menu for 30 days, then just clear the daily missions.
It's hard to think "I have to do my best for months...", but if I think "I only have to do my best for one month!", I can do my best.
Also, if you complete daily missions, you can check your progress like a stamp card.
Recommended for those who say, "Let's do our best for just one month!"

Gohobee is an abs app for girls.
As the name suggests, you can earn in-game points and receive various rewards by doing muscle training every day.
First of all, in the mode "Sugoroku" where you continue to do sit-ups for 40 seconds for 3 weeks, you can advance one square each time you do muscle training, and if you continue for a certain period of time such as the 4th or 7th day, the design in the app will change. Get the reward you can.
The design of the app is also very cute for girls, and at first glance it doesn't look like a muscle training app.
However, it is a full-fledged muscle training app that allows you to check muscle training menu videos and record muscle training, so it is recommended for women who are worried that muscle training will not last long. .
Two applications that can record muscle training
I will introduce two applications that can record muscle training.
When you first start working out, you won't see results right away. Many people lose motivation and give up.
So let's enter the muscle training menu you did every day in the app and record it.
By entering the muscle training menu and being able to look back later, you can maintain your motivation by saying, "Actually, I've been doing this!"
Of course, even those who are doing muscle training quite hard can see changes such as increasing the number of menus they can do and increasing the weight they can lift, which will motivate them.

Strong is a full-fledged muscle training app.
It's hard to enter text and take time to record muscle training menus during training, isn't it?
Strong has many menus registered in advance, so you can easily enter muscle training menus with one touch.
Also, if you have a specific muscle training routine for each day, you can register multiple muscle training menus as routines.
All you have to do is choose the routine.
There is also a timer function and an input function for body data, so you can use this one in a variety of ways.

In "My muscle training", you can check the muscle training menu of the day at a glance by setting the muscle training menu you want to do on that day and the parts you want to train.
The color changes from the menu you went to, so you can easily see what you need to do.
In addition, the feature of this app is that it can estimate RM (limit value).
By setting the weight and number of times, it will calculate how many times you can lift.
By knowing your limits, you can train more efficiently.
In addition, by recording data such as the start date of muscle training and the number of times it went up, you can look back on your own growth numerically.
Recommended for those who want to continue muscle training efficiently.
Two selections to use as a timer for training
Two timer apps for muscle training.
It's good to start muscle training, but when it's hard, you just want to quit halfway through.
That's where the timer app for muscle training comes in.
If you set the timer, the break time will be set automatically, so you have to do it.
Recommended for those who tend to take a long break or give up after finishing one menu.

Many of you may have heard of a training method called “Tabata training”.
Tabata training is a training method in which 20 seconds of intense exercise (such as sprints and burpees) and 10 seconds of rest are set as one set and performed multiple times.
This Runtastic Timer is a timer app for Tabata training.
Once you set the time for exercise and rest, all you have to do is press start. A voice will tell you when to switch. You don't have to touch your smartphone, so you can avoid the temptation to touch other apps.
Recommended for those who train frequently by repeating exercise and rest.

Muscle timer is a simple timer app.
Set the number of workouts and break time in advance, then just start the timer.
It's simpler and easier to understand than the Runtastic Timer above.
In addition, you can record the training you set once, so it is recommended for those who do the same training every time.
Two apps for recording your meals
Two apps for managing your meals.
Many people who have started muscle training will also start managing their meals.
No matter how hard you work on your muscles, if you take in enough calories, all your hard work will go to waste.
That's where a meal tracking app comes in.
By entering the food you eat every day, you can record how many calories you took in a day.
Many meal recording apps can record not only meals but also weight, so you can check the daily changes in your body with data.
Get closer to your ideal body with muscle training and diet management.

FiNC is an app that has a strong aspect of diet support.
The biggest feature is that AI supports your diet based on your daily diet, sleep, and exercise data.
When you start using the app, an AI trainer will chat with you and suggest the best training menu for you.
In addition, you can know the changes in your body realistically from data such as daily weight and sleep.
Even if you don't need to calculate detailed calories, you can easily enter meals by automatically calculating them from keyword searches. No complicated calculations.
Let's get closer to the ideal body by paying attention not only to muscle training but also to eating and sleeping.

Finally, the fitness app provided by UNDER ARMOR, "My Fitnesspal".
This is where you can check your daily physical changes as data by entering your diet and exercise.
The feature is that it calculates the daily calorie intake according to your goal.
For example, if you set a goal of "losing 2kg in a month", it will calculate how many kcal you should take in a day based on your current weight.
Then all you have to do is adjust your daily meals to match those calories.
Since meals sold at convenience stores and supermarkets automatically enter calories by reading barcodes, there is almost no troublesome input.
This is an app for people who are doing muscle training and body makeup more seriously than FiNC.
Three Benefits of Using an App for Muscle Training
Finally, I will introduce three benefits of using an app for muscle training.
Even if you do muscle training for a day or two, the results are not visible.
You will be able to feel the effect for the first time after 1 or 2 months.
However, it is mentally exhausting to continue dieting without realizing its effects.
Therefore, by using the app to record your daily muscle training, you can realize your own changes and growth.
Even if there is no visible change, you can feel the growth of muscle training, such as "I could do more reps than yesterday!"
If you can feel your own growth and change, you can do your best, so please try to record your daily muscle training.
For diet and body makeup, it is necessary to manage not only muscle training but also meals.
If you forget what and how much you ate, you will not be able to manage your diet.
As a result, there are many cases where even if you do muscle training, you eat too much and your body does not change.
Therefore, using a meal recording app makes it easier to manage meals overwhelmingly.
If you haven't been very conscious of your diet, please start by knowing how many kcal your usual meals have.
Once you realize how much you are eating, you will be able to see specifically how much you should reduce from there.
Also, by properly managing the time during muscle training other than meals, you should be able to gradually reduce skipping.
It's difficult to do your best with just your energy, so let's make full use of recording apps and continue to do muscle training well.
Apps are effective not only in terms of practical aspects such as managing muscle training menus and meals, but also in terms of maintaining motivation.
It is very difficult to continue silently by yourself, and you tend to want to give up on the way.
However, by using the app, you can feel the changes in your body every day, feel the presence of friends who are working hard in the same way, and you will be able to continue like a game.
For those who have just started muscle training, let's use the app to maintain motivation well and continue to enjoy muscle training.
Summary
This time, we have introduced 10 apps by type that are useful for muscle training.
Install the app that suits your purpose and make your daily muscle training better.
