In the run-up to the Olympic Games, we've compiled apps to help you keep up with the Olympic athletes.
THE OLYMPIC ATHLETES 'HUB
The Olympic Committee has collected in one long feed the confirmed accounts of athletes on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Most of them have a good sense of humor, and although the girls post - as elsewhere - photos of their manicures, cats and new sports bags, it is interesting to watch their workouts, excitement and photos with other stars. The human face of sports also gives out awards and badges for being active in the comments.
ARGUS - MOTION AND FITNESS TRACKER
The fitness tracker starts and runs in the background - you go to care, go to the club or lie for nine hours with a tablet, and the phone counts everything in your jeans pocket. The application does it by itself; conclusions about the number of steps: and calories spent, and with your help, he can still keep a food diary, read the pulse and monitor the quality of sleep. If you don't have an iPhone 5s, it will almost certainly run out of battery by lunchtime, but the owners of the latest model can control themselves all day. External bracelets, trackers, scales and GPS are also supported.
SOCHI 2014 GUIDE
The official and discreet guide of the Olympic Committee is more likely designed for foreigners who are traveling to Sochi for the first time. That is why it is worth downloading in the first place: the calendar will be updated more thoroughly, and the experience of applications of other games will certainly make this application the most convenient. However, for the keyword "Sochi" in the App Store and Google Play, already in December there were two dozen customizable calendars of Olympic performances, almost all of which were no more than a dollar.
SNOW FITNESS WORKOUTS - SKIING & SNOWBOARDING EXERCISES
Have you seen enough athletes and skis in the mountains? For winter sports, there are exercises that strengthen your back and abdominal muscles to help you balance and prepare for jumping, twisting and swinging sticks. There are over a hundred micro-charging options in the app, and none of them require a gym or free weights. Dedicated exercise kits for each sport are generally a good idea, so if you're surfing in Australia or Bali this winter, look for a separate app too.
SKI TRACKS - GPS TRACK RECORDER
It is not only runners who can show off their GPS routes "Me and 10K in Kapotnya": put your phone in the pocket of your snowboard jacket and "share" your slopes with all your friends. The application reads the maximum speed, slope angle, distance, height above sea level - and also collects photos in a separate folder. The base of ski resorts with 3D maps is very good.
