How To Get Fit and Lose Weight On iPhone & Android [Infographic]

When it comes to losing weight or getting in shape, using mobile apps on the iPhone and on Android smartphones can be an integral part of your fitness routine.

According to this infographic from Greatist, a health and fitness blog, tracking what you eat can lead to losing twice as much weight, will help you find patterns in your energy levels and identify patterns that lead to weight gain

Other benefits of tracking come in the form of motivation, accountability and consistency — all of which are easy to pass on if you aren’t tracking your activity.

Using an iPhone or Android to track this information is easier than ever, with multiple apps for tracking what you eat and your activities. You can also link up your progress to social networks to leverage the accountability of friends and followers.
