Discuss why precautions should be taken when choosing a health and fitness app as an exercise guide.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers may vary. You should be careful when selecting apps because many people are designing software applications with limited or no knowledge in the related field (e.g., health and fitness). When it comes to fitness, one size doesn't fit all, because fitness levels and needs vary widely among participants.If you are looking for apps, search for those designed by health and fitness experts who hold degrees and certifications in the related field. A good place to start is the government's app store (apps.usa.gov) that lists apps designed by experts.As you search, take into consideration your desired activities and outcome, current fitness level, personal budget, and whether you wish to use a device other than your smartphone (wrist band, chest strap, clip on, arm band).
