Working out from home requires a whole new kind of motivation. With the loss of workout classes and gym memberships, it’s hard to get the same kind of sweat-filled workouts we used to love when we’re setting up shop on our living room floors. Regardless, it’s crucial to find ways to keep our mind and body aligned. Thanks to new innovations in the fitness app field, we now have artificial intelligence to make our workouts feel a little more personalized again.
