  users weight, training intensity and muscle

  streaming to fully understand the technique of
  the exercise, users might want to watch a video
  where the coach can consult and give instructions

  database with too many items. It can also slow
  the navigation and search process. So,

  manufacturer of the product and gives other
  information about the users meal within a few
  seconds.

  make instant posts with attractive pictures on
  social media. This could be beneficial for you

  picture as it will promote your app on social
  media for free.

• Create a fitness app that engages the users in
  competitive leagues. Depending on the progress
  you can offer reward badges or even give away
  monthly subscriptions. This helps to keep users
  interested in your app and also motivates them to
  take over fitness challenges.
