Getting Started with Weight Loss and Fitness: The Best Apps to Track Your Fitness Goals in 2021

Getting Started with Weight Loss and Fitness

One of the things I hear the most when it comes to my weight loss and fitness progress is how do I start? What do I do? Is there an app out there that can help? What should I focus on? - While there’s no set routine, or diet that will work for everyone, there are certain things you can do to get started in the right direction. In this multi-part series of blog posts, I’m going to cover the things I did to get started on my journey, the apps, and gadgets that helped me along the way, and the hard lessons I learned during my journey. If you’re looking for advice on supplements you can check out my blog post on The best supplements I’ve used to burn fat, lose weight and gain lean muscle by clicking here.

The Best Apps to Track Your Fitness Goals in 2021

The Apps

Best Overall App: My Fitness Pal

Best Workout Tracker: Strong App

Apple Watch App for Zone Training: Zones For Training

Best Quick/Body Weight Workout App: 7 Minute Workout by Johnson & Johnson

Best Yoga Service: Glo

Best App for Finding New Exercises: Full Fitness

The Apps

One of the first things I learned about weight loss was no matter how much I lifted or how much I worked out if my nutrition wasn’t right, it really wouldn’t matter. I would spend literally hours in the gym, but I’d get home and “reward” myself with ridiculous meals that I thought were “healthy” but as it turns out, they were anything but healthy.

When it comes to weight loss, nutrition plays a huge part, more than you would think. About 80% of it is nutrition and the rest is your weight training or cardio routines. It’s also very important to note that the key here is going to be consistency, my good friend and personal trainer Hans told me this and it has stuck ever since, it takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to make it a lifestyle. This is a great rule of thumb but keep in mind everyone is different and it can take people up to 200 days to fully form a new habit, the takeaway here is: commit to it. No matter what, just commit. This is where a lot of these apps come in handy. You can use them to track your nutrition, set notifications, and reminders to help you get off the couch, compete against yourself to achieve your next PR (Personal Record), the list goes on.

My Fitness Pal

My Fitness Pal is one of the best and most robust apps available when it comes to fitness and lifestyle changes. If there’s a single app I would recommend above all others, this is the one. My Fitness Pal is known for the ability to easily log your daily caloric intake with a built-in database of over 6 million foods (and counting) and accurately give you a breakdown of your Macronutrients along with more detailed information like net carbs, fiber, cholesterol, and sodium intake among other nutritional info. You can input your meals by either searching the database, scanning the barcode or, as of a recent update, by taking a picture of the individual items on your plate (I.E. an apple, a piece of bread, etc.). In addition to logging meals, it logs exercise stats, helps you change your habits to meet personal health goals, has a ton of workouts, recipes, and offers unparalleled customization for each of its assets.

It integrates with more than 50 apps and devices to sync all of your workouts, and it has a library of over 350 cardio and strength sessions if you need a jumping-off point.

My Fitness Pal also includes a restaurant logger that will guarantee no calorie goes uncounted when you go out to eat. It has enough features to fill this entire list, while just about all the features included with the app are free, there’s a premium plan that in my experience is worth the price to unlock the apps full potential.

Strong App

Before I started using the Strong App, I was logging my workouts with the old-fashioned notebook and a pen and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that for the majority of the people out there who are just starting out. No matter what I would recommend keeping some kind of journal with a date, the exercises performed, start and end time, weight lifted, and your rep count. This will help you keep track of your progress and give you something to aim for on your next workout. It will also help you remember what days you worked what muscle groups and plan your workouts so you can create a well-rounded workout routine. For people who want to take their tracking to a higher level, the Strong app is a perfect way of doing it. Strong lets you build workout routines with an extensive list of classic and well-known exercises, but if you’re like me and you do research online for your routines, you can create a new exercise pretty easily. The app is super user-friendly, it tracks everything from your 1RM (1 Rep Max), to your Personal Records, muscle growth, strength improvements, and so on. I’ve been using the Strong app for almost two years and it’s helped me tremendously. Plus, if you’re like me, and you leave your friggin notebook somewhere on a layover, you don’t have to worry about losing any information because the app is cloud-based and syncs after every workout.

Zones for Training

As the name implies this app focuses on Zone Training. What is zone training? To put it simply, zone training focuses on workouts that keep your heart rate in a specific “zone” to maximize weight loss or fitness. Your training plan can (and should) include workouts in all five zones. This HR zones chart shows the level of intensity and percentage of Maximum Heart Rate used in each one.

Zone 1: Very Light - 50% - 60% Of Your Maximum Heart Rate

Zone 2: Light - 60% - 70% Of Your Maximum Heart Rate

Zone 3: Moderate - 70% - 80% Of Your Maximum Heart Rate

Zone 4: Hard - 80% - 90% Of Your Maximum Heart Rate

Zone 5: Maximum - 90% - 100% Of Maximum Your Heart Rate

Zone training has become even more popular in the last few years with entire gyms dedicating themselves to focusing purely on zone training, gyms like Orange Theory, which was founded in 2010 and over the last 11 years have grown to over 1200 studios in all 50 states and 23 countries. I could probably write an entire blog post on zone training but for now, those who want to start learning about it can use this app which pairs really well with apple watch users.

7 Minute Workout by J&J

If you’re like me, your schedule is insanely busy. On top of that, being an airline crew member, I never know what type of gym to expect when I’m on layover, hotel gyms vary wildly from having full blown professional gyms to having a treadmill and a thrown together set of 25 year old dumbbells that only go up to 40lbs. Even worse, sometimes I’m getting off the hotel shuttle van only to realize I have to be back at the airport in less than 10 hours. No matter how short my layover is or how busy my day has gotten, I know I have at least 7 minutes. That’s the concept behind the 7M workout apps. A performance coach and exercise physiologist from the Human Performance Institute in Orlando, FL, came up with this program to give their busy clients a more efficient yet still effective workout. They've put together a series of 12 different exercises that work the upper body, lower body, and core. It’s important to note that this is not a magical elixir that will suddenly transform your body into that perfect bikini ready summer bod. This is a good compliment to your workout routine when you have nothing but your bodyweight and only a little while to work out. You can manage intensity and if you happen to have say 30 minutes at your disposal, you can run the app more than once to get in a longer workout. Typically the exercises last for about 30 seconds and the rest between sets is about 5 seconds so it elevates your heart rate, gets your blood flowing and burns a few calories off which is always beneficial no matter what your day is like. This is also a great way to warm up your whole body before you get your real daily workout in.

Glo Yoga App

For the beginner or the advanced yogi, Glo is not only an awesome app but also a full-blown yoga class service. They offer classes on multiple platforms so you can switch from your phone to your computer browser to your tablet. Glo starts around $18 a month and gives you the option to personalize your classes and styles with a quick questionnaire so you can choose the exact intensity you’re looking for. They also offer live classes during the week so you can actually interact with a real person and not just a recording. Since I’m a total yoga noob that had no idea what I was doing, Glo was perfect.

Full Fitness : Exercise Workout Traine‪r‬ 

We’ve all been there, you just started working out, you know how to do 3 or 4 exercises, you look around and see an ocean of equipment, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, cowbells, smith machines, squat racks… Ok, maybe not cowbell, but there’s a ton of gym equipment you have never used before and your brain immediately goes into a total panic attack because you don’t want to look foolish but you also have no idea what you’re doing. Enter the Full Fitness App. This app was a tremendous help when I was just getting started again in the gym. It had been years since I did any type of lifting and my experience came mostly from the ROTC and sports training and it had been ages since I did any of that. Full Fitness gives you the ability to narrow down what muscle group you want to workout and then select what type of equipment you have at your disposal, including bodyweight exercises, on top of that there’s an image demonstrating how to perform the exercise and you can also click to see a video clip of someone actually performing it. While this app has plenty of other features like logging workout routines and a handful of fitness programs, I used it mostly to learn what I could do with the equipment I had at hand. This helped me avoid being that person that’s ping-ponging around the gym aimlessly without a plan and looking lost while trying to play it off cool like I know what I’m doing there.

Pros and Cons of Fitness Apps

Fitness apps can be very beneficial to your overall routine when you consider they can help you track your exercise achievements, caloric burn, nutrition, and overall progress which helps keep you motivated and gives you a chance to compete against yourself and set a target to shoot for which has been super beneficial during my journey to losing weight and getting into the best shape I’ve ever been in. They also give you the opportunity to “get your feet wet” with fitness if you’re not ready to commit to a gym or personal trainer, although they will never replace the knowledge or hands-on benefits of having a dedicated trainer if you can afford it. On the downside, if you rely too heavily on fitness apps, you’re missing out on the other great benefits from working out like social interaction, shared experiences, camaraderie, and personalized feedback that you’d get in the gym or in group classes. If you’re a person that’s tied to your phone, working out also gives you the opportunity to take a break from the digital world so the last thing you want is to dive even deeper into never putting your phone down.

How much do fitness apps cost?

The price for fitness apps varies pretty greatly, there are apps that are free to download, but unlocking their full potential requires some form of payment. This can be a one-time $2-$10 fee or in some cases a yearly(MyFitnessPal) or even monthly(Yoga Glo) subscription that can be anywhere between $20-$40.

The Bottom Line

While fitness apps are great and certainly should be looked at when you’re starting your fitness routines, it ultimately comes down to what you’re expectations are and your level of motivation. If you’re a self-starter that doesn't need someone to tell them when to work out, you’re highly motivated and ready to start working out right now, these apps can provide a jumping-off point to get you started. If you need that extra push, no workout app will ever replace the type of motivation you’ll get from someone who is financially inclined to get you the results you want. Regardless, some apps like MyFitnessPal should be incorporated into everyone’s routines because it gives you one of the most crucial parts of weight loss and fitness, which is tracking nutrition.

If you’re someone who is busy, can’t get on a regular gym schedule, and needs help with things you can do at home or without a gym membership, some of the apps above are worth the look.

The supplements I use to burn fat, lose weight and gain muscle.

The best supplements I’ve used to burn fat, lose weight and gain lean muscle.

There’s no doubt that you can lose weight and gain muscle by eating the right foods and lifting weights. But if you really want to maximize your potential and get better results, supplements are a great option.

During my fitness journey, I’ve tried a lot of different supplements, different brands, and combinations. I should also put a disclaimer here that the supplements I use are natural or made up of natural ingredients.

Most of these supplements have been absolutely crucial in my journey to losing weight and getting in shape, others simply helped along the way and if you can afford to add them to your routine they are worth a serious look.

If you want to purchase any of the items below, please use the links to help support my site, thanks!

#1 Protein Powders

Protein like whey and casein can help improve your muscles' ability to recover and adapt after strenuous exercise. In fact, consumption of whey protein has been found to stimulate muscle protein synthesis to a greater degree than other proteins.

Blends of protein, like whey and casein, have been shown to promote muscle hypertrophy and improve body composition to a greater extent than soy-based proteins when consumed after resistance exercise.

The combination of fast-digesting whey and slow-digesting casein keep the body in a highly anabolic environment for a prolonged period of time, helping to keep rates of protein synthesis up, while minimizing any muscle breakdown.

Lifters who follow high-volume or high-intensity resistance-training programs, as many bodybuilders do, may also benefit from carbohydrate intake immediately post-workout. Compared with a placebo, carbohydrates combined with protein immediately post-workout and one hour after a bout of resistance exercise have been shown to increase insulin levels and rates of glycogen resynthesis.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey

Whey protein is one of the healthiest ways to add more protein to your diet. It's a quality protein source that is absorbed and utilized efficiently by the human body. This is particularly important for athletes, bodybuilders or people who need to gain muscle mass and strength while losing fat, it’s the most crucial for pushing protein synthesis. Whey is a milk protein that has a high level of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs, also on our list). Whey is high on my list because it digests fast and gets to your muscles quickly to start building muscle. Whey also contains peptides (small proteins) that increase blood flow to the muscles. This is why we always recommend consuming whey protein immediately after training.

I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey because it’s made up of whey protein Isolates and 5.5 grams of BCAA’s per scoop and mixes easily, even without a shaker bottle.

Get it on Amazon

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein

Casein is a slow-digesting protein that’s also derived from dairy. It releases amino acids slowly, so I usually take it before bed to help with recovery and reduce muscle breakdown, or catabolism, while asleep. It’s also great for a post-workout snack, I usually blend whey and casein to make a more effective protein shake.

I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein because it’s one of the best micellar proteins available.

#2 Pre-Workout/Caffeine

Caffeine is one of the most widely used stimulants in the world, we get it in our morning coffee, tea, and energy drinks to give us a pick-me-up during a long day.

Caffeine has also proven to be one of the most effective ergogenic aids in both endurance exercise and high-intensity activity. Caffeine has been shown to decrease rates of fatigue and lower perception of effort, which may be of benefit during high-intensity, high-volume workouts, or if you just need a little boost before hitting the weights.

I use two different types of pre-workout, it’s important to note that I use them because they are more than just caffeine, they contain other great supplements that help when it comes to creating focus and hitting the gym. Below is a little info on both so you can make the decision on which one sounds better for you.

Pre JYM

Pre Jym is the winner when it comes to mental enhancement. It has 300mg of caffeine, which provides a clear boost before hitting the gym, especially on those sleepy days where you can’t get a good night's rest (something I struggle with pretty frequently).

It also has higher quantities of Tyrosine, which is known to increase our cognitive functions, and focus in the gym. Sometimes having an extra mental edge can give us a massive boost in the gym.

Pre Jym is also better for muscle recovery with a better BCAA ratio.

Get it on Amazon

Pre-Kaged

 Pre-Kaged is better for increasing vasodilation and muscle power during exercise. This is due it having a much higher concentration of Taurine and Betaine.

Taurine is known for increasing vasodilation, which allows the blood to pump through the body more easily. Betaine is known for giving its users extra power during a session and is associated with improving strength and muscle mass.

Pre Jym does contain these ingredients but in much lower doses. So as far as getting a good pump is concerned, Pre-Kaged takes the win.

Get it on Amazon

Which one should you choose?

Both are very similar and all in all, are great options for pre-workout no matter which one you go with. If you prefer more mental focus vs physical pump Pre Jym is the better choice it also contains more creatine and a better ratio of BCAA’s, which may prove beneficial for developing more muscle over the long term. If you’re looking to hit that major PR and push your 1RM then go with the Pre-Kaged

#3 Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s)

Whether you’re an athlete or just a casual lifter, there’s no reason you shouldn’t incorporate BCAA’s into your supplement regimen. You’ll notice that the protein powders and pre-workouts that I use also contain BCAA’s. Branched-chain amino acids refer to leucine, isoleucine, and valine, the absolute most important amino acids for repairing and building muscle tissue. Leucine is the most critical of the three, as research shows that it can stimulate muscle protein synthesis on its own. Yet it’s still best to take all three together, since they work in synergy to provide a multitude of benefits, including muscle growth, increased energy during workouts, the blunting of cortisol (a catabolic hormone that inhibits testosterone and increases muscle breakdown), and decreased delayed-onset muscle soreness. Besides the fact that they taste delicious, sipping on BCAAs between sets may help speed up the recovery and repair processes after a tough workout. Look for BCAA products that provide leucine at a ratio of 2:1 per dose of isoleucine and valine. For example, if you take a 5-gram dose of BCAAs, about 2.5 grams should be from leucine, 1.25 grams from isoleucine, and 1.25 grams from valine. (Like the ones I mentioned above)

XTEND ELITE BCAA’S

I’ve been using XTEND Elite BCAA’s for a long time now, they have pretty great flavors (the Island Punch Fusion is my favorite), it’s sugar-free, has electrolytes to help you rehydrate while you’re working out and as an added bonus, it also contains Beta-Alanine. In the body, the amino acid beta-alanine is combined with another amino, histidine, to form carnosine(or CarnoSyn as XTEND refers to it). Research shows that when muscles have higher levels of carnosine, they have more strength and endurance. Carnosine appears to increase the muscle fibers’ ability to contract with more force and to do so longer without fatiguing. Several studies reported increases in muscle strength and power in athletes who took beta-alanine. One recent study found that subjects who took beta-alanine along with creatine gained more muscle mass and lost more body fat than subjects who took only creatine.

#4 NO Boosters

Nitrate-rich foods like beets, radishes, and pomegranates are a great way to boost the production of nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule, found throughout the body, that’s involved in multiple processes. Bodybuilders are most interested in NO’s ability to dilate blood vessels, which allows more blood flow to the muscles for enhanced delivery of oxygen, nutrients, anabolic hormones, and water (blood is mostly water, after all). This gives you more energy during your workout, an enhanced muscle pump, and better muscle recovery and growth after the workout. NO boosters don’t provide NO directly, but rather deliver it in the form of the amino acid arginine, which is readily converted to NO in the body.

ZHOU N.O. Pro

ZHOU N.O. Pro is my go-to NO booster because the blend of supplements takes advantage of the nitric oxide boosting properties of L-arginine, L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, and L-citrulline alongside beet root powder, which is a fairly newly discovered but highly effective nitric oxide booster. Having Citrulline Malate is a huge plus because it’s an "antifatigue" supplement. In fact, if you were to travel back in time about 40 years, you'd find CM being prescribed to treat both mental and physical fatigue in post-surgery patients. More recently, CM has become popular for its performance-boosting effects.

The benefits seen with CM supplementation are most likely attributed to the synergistic combination of both L-citrulline and malate, which may help to increase rates of ATP during exercise, followed by increased rates of PCr recovery after exercise. Just a single dose (8 grams) has shown to increase reps and reduce soreness at 24-48 hours post-exercise compared to a placebo. Plus, it’s vegan!

Get it on Amazon

#5 Glutamine

While this nonessential amino acid may not deliver earth-shattering PRs or extreme muscle growth, it does play an important role in repair and recovery. Glutamine works by removing excess ammonia, which can accumulate during intense exercise, helping to regulate your body's acid-base balance. Individuals who are engaged in heavy resistance training, two-a-day training splits, or are in a calorie deficit may benefit from the extra support of glutamine supplementation.

Optimum Nutrition Glutamine Caps

Optimum Nutrition makes another appearance on the list. Truth is, they make excellent supplements. There’s a ton of great quality brands out there, I just prefer some of their products over others. Optimum Nutrition Glutamine Caps are formulated to provide 1 gram of pure L-Glutamine per capsule.

Get it on Amazon

#6 Carnitine

Carnitine plays a critical role in energy production. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be oxidized ("burned") to produce energy. It also transports the toxic compounds generated out of this cellular organelle to prevent their accumulation

Dr. Martins L-Carnitine

Besides being a popular fat-loss supplement, carnitine is now known to enhance muscle growth through a number of mechanisms, all of which are supported by clinical research. For one, carnitine can increase blood flow to muscles, which means it provides similar benefits to NO boosters. It also increases testosterone levels post-workout and the amount of T receptors inside muscle cells, which allows more testosterone to stimulate more growth. In addition, carnitine supplements have been found to increase levels of IGF-1. Add all these benefits together and you have the potential to gain enormous amounts of muscle.

Get it on Amazon

#7 Multi-Vitamin

As kids, many of us took daily chewable multivitamins, and for a lot of us, that habit has continued into adulthood – about one-third of American adults take multivitamins.

Some people take multivitamins for the comfort of knowing they’re filling potential nutrient gaps. Others take them with the belief that they’re boosting their immune system, improving their brain function or skin tone, or enhancing hair health or health in general.

People who benefit from taking an appropriate multivitamin include those who are eating or absorbing fewer calories (dieters, for example) so for those looking to shed weight or those who are older.

GNC Mega Men Sport

Despite the super cheesy-macho-fragile masculinity in the name “MEGA MEN”, I like this multivitamin blend. It contains beta-alanine and carnatine which I covered above, so for people who are interested in lifting, it’s a pretty good multivitamin.

Get it on Amazon

#8 Fish Oil/Krill Oil

Fish oils are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which provide myriad benefits for the body. For strength athletes and bodybuilders, we're most concerned with their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Intense resistance training can cause microscopic tears in your muscle fibers, leading to muscle damage and inflammation. While some inflammation is desirable, too much can delay the post-exercise recovery process.

Research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce post-exercise muscle soreness and speed up the recovery process, getting you ready for your next session with the weights.[20,21] As an added benefit, when combined with BCAAs and carbs, omega-3s can increase protein synthesis rates, leading to greater gains in muscle mass.

Antarctic Krill Oil

Fish oil, which is derived from fatty fish like anchovies, mackerel and salmon, is one of the most popular dietary supplements in the world.

Its health benefits primarily come from two types of omega-3 fatty acids — eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Both have been shown to improve heart and brain health, among other benefits.

Recently, a supplement called krill oil has emerged as another product rich in EPA and DHA. Some people even claim that krill oil offers more benefits than fish oil.

I use Krill Oil because isolated astaxanthin lowers triglycerides and increases “good” HDL cholesterol in people with mildly elevated blood lipids and also krill oil is more effective than fish oil at lowering blood sugar, triglycerides and “bad” LDL cholesterol.

Get it on Amazon

#9 CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)

Linoleic acid is the most common omega-6 fatty acid, found in large amounts in vegetable oils but also in various other foods in smaller amounts. The “conjugated” prefix has to do with the arrangement of the double bonds in the fatty acid molecule.

There are 28 different forms of CLA .

The difference between these forms is that their double bonds are arranged in various ways. It’s important to keep in mind that something as minuscule as this can make a world of difference to our cells. CLA is essentially a type of polyunsaturated, omega-6 fatty acid. In other words, it’s technically a trans fat — but a natural type of trans fat that occurs in many healthy foods. Some studies indicate that CLA can cause significant fat loss in humans. It may also improve body composition by reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass.

Naturwise Elite CLA

While the jury is still out on whether CLA is actually effective or not, I’ve made it a part of my supplements because I figure it can’t hurt. Polyunsaturated fats can lead to lowering your testosterone levels, however, I don’t have an issue with that. Naturewise CLA is naturally derived from pure, premium quality, non-GMO safflower oil and is stimulant-free.

Get it on Amazon

#10 Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb with multiple health benefits. It can reduce anxiety and stress, help fight depression, boost fertility and testosterone in men, and even boost brain function. It’s classified as an adaptogen, meaning that it can help your body manage stress.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is a new addition to my daily supplements. Since adding it I definitely feel way less stressed, my anxiety has also started to become more manageable and there’s a long list of benefits that are being studied about ashwagandha. Some of the highlights include: reducing blood sugar levels, anticancer properties, reducing cortisol levels, reducing stress and anxiety, reducing depression, boosting testosterone and fertility in men (watch out gentlemen, that’s a dangerous combo!), increased muscle mass and strength, reducing inflammation, lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, increasing brain function and memory. In short, it’s a safe supplement that has been linked to a ton of benefits and it’s worth the very cheap price.

Get it on Amazon

#11 Green Tea Extract

Many studies have shown that green tea extract can promote weight loss, blood sugar regulation, disease prevention, and exercise recovery. It can also help keep your skin and liver healthy, reduce blood fat levels, regulate blood pressure and improve brain health.

Zhou Green Tea Extract

Zhou makes an appearance again with another awesome product, their Green Tea Extract is awesome. Green tea is one of the most commonly consumed teas in the world.

Green tea extract is its concentrated form, with just one capsule containing the same amount of active ingredients as an average cup of green tea.

Like green tea, green tea extract is a great source of antioxidants. These have been credited with a range of health benefits, from promoting heart, liver, and brain health to improving your skin and even reducing the risk of cancer.

What’s more, many studies have looked at green tea extract’s ability to aid weight loss. In fact, many weight loss products list it as a key ingredient.

The Bottom Line

There’s no shortage of supplements out there, these are just the ones I’ve used and they work for me. I’ve read up on all of them and like most things, there's usually a lot of studies to support the findings and studies that try to dispute them, so take your time to read up and make your own decision. None of these supplements are going to replace a healthy diet or exercise, and depending entirely on the supplements won’t have any effect if you don’t establish a real routine and make a permanent lifestyle change that focuses on healthier living and fitness. I can tell you with certainty that there’s no “diet pill” out there that will make you lose weight and look muscular, if it were that easy gyms would be out of business.
