Fitness apps are all the rage. According to Medical News, these are the top three to get you moving:
1) ZOMBIES, RUN!
Android: Free
iPhone: Free
An immersive running game with a story – you are en route to one of humanity’s last remaining outposts after the zombie epidemic.
Your job is to gather supplies, rescue survivors and defend their homes. By running in a park, walking trails, or jogging on a treadmill, you can save hundreds of lives and discover the truth about the zombie apocalypse.
Your mission and music channels play through your headphones, and if you are chased by zombies, you must speed up.
