Fitness apps are all the rage. According to Medical News, these are the top three to get you moving:
1) ZOMBIES, RUN!
Android: Free
iPhone: Free
An immersive running game with a story - you are en route to one of humanity's last remaining outposts after the zombie epidemic.
Your job is to gather supplies, rescue survivors and defend their homes. By running in a park, walking trails, or jogging on a treadmill, you can save hundreds of lives and discover the truth about the zombie apocalypse.
Your mission and music channels play through your headphones, and if you are chased by zombies, you must speed up.
2) COUCH TO 5K
Android: $2.99 (R40.99)
iPhone: $2.99 (R40.99)

The app is for beginners, and asks them to spend between 20 and 30 minutes working out three times per week. Choose between virtual coaches Constance, Billie, Sergeant Block, or Johnny Dead.
Sync the app with your playlists to listen to your favourite tracks while running.
