I’m an app-hoarder. When I hear about an app, I download it, try it and usually leave in on a screen of my iPhone never to be found again.

The exception to that is fitness apps. I live for them. Why? It’s not just because I like to hear someone else count for me as I’m working out. Technology has done so much in my lifetime to enable access to information and guidance – and fitness technology has empowered people across the globe to get access to top-notch trainers even if they live continents apart.

This morning, I stopped by WCIU to talk about my love affair with apps. While there are too many to mention in one segment with the beautiful (and hilarious) Melissa Foreman and Jeanne Sparrow, I did include some favorites.

Aaptiv is different – all workout motivation is taking place in your ear as a coach or trainer tells you when to push, when to ease up and when to crank up your endurance.
