New year, new resolutions. The start of the year is, without a doubt, a starting point to launch the list of new habits that we have been planning in recent months from the previous year. Among them, surely getting in shape, losing a few kilos or simply leading a healthier life is one of them. That is why we want to recommend a list of apps that, without a doubt, will make these purposes easier to quantify.
As usual, although many of them are multiplatform, our list of apps is focused on users of the iOS ecosystem and, especially, those who use Apple Watch, especially for the possibilities of quantification and measurement of health what includes.

Very simple apps and with its main functionality completely free, which are valid for all ages and physical condition.
