MYFITNESSPAL AND ACTIVTRAX App Reviews
My FitnessPal is an app that helps the user log their workouts and food intake. This app provides fairly accurate nutritional information about the food that the user logs and provides an overall calorie intake goal per day. This app also will add up how many calories you should be consuming for your weight, height, and the amount that you work out. The app can be used for weight loss as it has an estimated time frame for users to reach their goal weight if they stay on track. MYFITNESSPAL
ActivTrax is an app and website that the YMCA utilizes. After a member of the YMCA completes an orientation to see what proper weight they should be lifting and where they are at in their fitness journey, a wellness coach will plug their information into the ActivTrax system. The member can then download the ActivTrax app which will provide them with customized workouts and instructions to reach their goal. ACTIVTRAX
