Discover the best fitness apps during Dubai Fitness Challenge

It’s time to run, ride, stretch and play – with a little help from some incredible smartphone apps. The great thing about exercise is it's so easy to do - nothing stops you from stepping outside for a run, or dropping down to do some push-ups. But it helps to have a digital advantage...

Still not sure? A study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research found that fitness apps promote positive behavioural changes. Nearly 75 per cent of the surveyed app users claimed they were more active – and fitness apps made it easier to overcome motivational issues.
