5 Apps That Are Basically Personal Trainers (in Your Pocket)

In the last couple of years, fitness posts have exploded across our social media feeds. Accompanied by hashtags such as motivation monday and #workoutwednesday, the images are supposed to encourage others to step onto the treadmill and pick up a kettlebell.
