One is a bracelet. I think running with a bracelet is more accurate. There are many bracelets on the market now, such as Xiaomi and Huawei, and there are also corresponding apps. The operation is relatively simple. The biggest advantage is that you can exercise without a mobile phone, and the bracelet can realize the function of step recording.
Second, keep it. This is my favorite sports app, and many friends around me are also using it. There are many courses on keep, as well as running courses. You can run with it, which is more efficient and conducive to increasing your enthusiasm for sports. Moreover, there are many supporting things on this app, such as stretching before and after running, fitness courses in spare time every day, fitness recipes, etc., which are also shared by other bodybuilders, and they can also cheer each other and exchange fitness experiences. I think this app should meet all the requirements of an amateur fitness enthusiast.
Third, a safe doctor. This app was recommended by a hiker in the office before. The reason for recommendation is that this app can make money while walking. That is, it will give you some gold coins according to your daily exercise, which can be used to exchange gifts and so on. Then I used keep, so I threw this away.
There are also some applications dedicated to recording steps. I haven't tried. I don't know if it's allowed or not I think everyone's habits are different, so try it yourself and see which app's function can better meet your requirements.
In fact, any app is a tool, and the most important thing for fitness is persistence. Just like a sentence in keep: self-discipline gives me freedom.
