In winter, many find it difficult to force themselves to play sports and follow nutrition. But the owners of Apple Watch will not be able to relax: smartwatches will remind you of training and will help you to create the right menu. And new sports applications will be useful on the street, in the fitness room, and at home. Now with Apple Watch you can ski, skate, do yoga and perform breathing exercises. And all this – without getting the iPhone out of your pocket.

“There are two types of applications for fitness and health that are designed specifically for the Apple Watch: smart motivators and third-party applications for specific workouts,” said Jay Blahnik, Apple’s director of fitness and health technology. We have selected the most convenient and useful applications for Apple Watch to help you keep yourself in good shape.

Slopes: track ski and snowboard speed

This application is developed by a snowboarder, and it has everything you need while riding in the mountains.
