Last week, my friends and I were having a chit chat, suddenly the topic shifted to fitness.
In my group, I am considered the one who doesn’t take good care of the body. Yes maybe. I defended myself by saying that there are no gyms in my area and dieting is something that I don’t feel like doing!
I knew except Amelia and Clare no one goes to the gym, but yes I even knew that everyone was fit and lit! Except me!
I felt a bit embarrassed, and I decided that I will do something about it. I asked one of my friends what she does to keep her body healthy. Her reply amazed me that it was an app that did wonders.
The very next moment, I typed in ‘fitness’, and lots of apps were on my screen.
I immediately clicked the first fitness app I came across, I don’t know how but I knew that this would fit my purpose, maybe it was the name, the logo, the ratings, or it was just on the top.
