Fitbit:
\n
This is the one stop shop for all your fitness needs. Built as an app to work with the Fitbit trackers and Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale, you’re able to log every step, workout, and weigh-in automatically. The app also has so much more than just the goal oriented tracking. With the Fitbit app on Windows Store, you can see a complete picture of your health.
\n
Use the barcode scanner to log all your food easily, set up jobs with music, voice cues, and GPS routes, or you can use it simply to help catch up on some quality rest and relaxation by monitoring your sleep habits. There’s so much in the Fitbit app, it’s hard to know where to begin. But it’s likely the connection to the Fibit community can help you figure it out with a full social media to share notifications and achievements.
\n
Don’t have a Fitbit device? No problem, the app will still provide basic features to help build a healthier you.

Simply Yoga
\n
Brought to you by the same developers of Daily Workouts, this app is meant for those that want to take their exercise a bit more slower and precise. Yoga is a practice of balance, poise, and flexibility and this app will help newly green yogies or experienced gurus alike. Like its predecessor, it provides videos to teach each individual pose demonstrated by a certified trainer. There are also three pre-defined routines to choose from. Find your balance.

Sleep Bug
\n
Perhaps after all of that stretching and working out, you’re ready to wind down and get some rest. Unfortunately, not everyone can sleep soundly. That’s why Sleep Bug was created. The white noise app has an impresive repetoire of audial aid: 24 scenes, 83 different sound effects and more than 300 different sounds. The soft sounds are mixed together to build the perfect background noise that will help put your mind in the right place, even if it’s in dream land.
