Smile While You Sweat

iHealth
3 free apps for fit-minded moms:

NikeWomen Training Club
A competitive streak can be a beautiful thing—especially when it helps you get in shape. Download this app then invite your gal pals to join the club. Create customized plans (choose from cardio or strength training), and earn points for completing workouts. Videos offer a clear how-to for each move, even timing segments so you don’t have to. Track your points against your sister’s, your best friend’s… whoever keeps you motivated to keep moving.

Seafood Watch
This free app, courtesy of Monterey Bay Aquarium’s non-profit Seafood Watch, helps you make healthy and sustainable menu choices quickly and easily. Regional guides give you the best West Coast picks, and the sushi guide lists seafood by Japanese name too. Whether you’re grocery shopping, out on the town, or just trying to remember which fish offers the most omega-3s with the least mercury, this handy app works swimmingly.

iPeriod
At last—an app for your lady business! Enter the low down on your period for two cycles, and iPeriod calculates when your next 12 periods will be, even alerting you when your period is due—or overdue! It also lets you track things like headaches, moods, and other symptoms related to your cycle, making talks with your doc a lot easier. It predicts ovulation and fertile days too, so it's a great tool for couples trying to conceive.
