Winter is finally here and so is our urge to do absolutely nothing during the whole season. We would rather lie like a sack of potatoes in front of the idiot box and while away our time inside a quilt rather than get up and be even remotely active. But all of us know how important it is to stay active during a season that is hell-bent on stealing the very last ounce of body heat from us!
We do know how important your smartphones are to you. We are also sure that you must be extremely confused as to why we have suddenly started talking about your smartphones, but bear with us because we have a reason for suddenly blabbering about these devices. Many smartphone apps have become an essential part of our daily life and we can hardly imagine life without them. So here is something that might inspire you! What would happen if we told you that your phone could be your window to achieving your fitness goal even during the laziest season of the year?
