Convenient and budget-friendly, fitness apps have been gaining popularity over the last few years. However, 2020 would have to be their most popular year yet. At home or not, there is no excuse to not place health as your number one priority. I recently downloaded Noom and the one lesson I’ve already learnt is that I can no longer make excuses for not working out or not eating right. One click on the app and I am immediately reminded that I alone am accountable for my daily choices. Here, two women who successfully accomplished getting fitter via technology share their experiences.

BUILD YOUR OWN PLAN
“I’ve never been the kind to exercise or diet. The most I’ve done in the past is practise some yoga on and off. Two years ago, however, I decided it was time I took charge of my health. I wasn’t feeling so great—I was anxious, felt bloated quite often, couldn’t sleep…even my clothes were fitting tighter. Then last year, I came across Kenzai and signed up for the three-month Kenzai Body programme.
