The very best fitness apps do make it easier to channel that inner motivation, so we picked our top ten to make your new year, new body resolutions that much more achievable

1. Nike+ Running, free

"This is just so simple to use, which makes it my favourite app for running," explains celebrity trainer Dalton Wong, founder of TwentyTwo Training . "Compared to all the other running app companions I've tried this is the easiest, and most encouraging of all. You don't need to tap in anything - it just starts up, tracks your route using GPS, and records your distance, time and speed. Plus, you can also challenge friends - or one of the other seven million other members. I love it."

2. Pzziz Sleep, 3.99

"Without doubt my favourite app of all. The Pzziz sleep app uses binaural beats and sounds, including the sound of the ocean say, to lull your brainwaves into a relaxing, restful sleep - and when you consider that most of us are sleep deprived, an app like this that can recharge our batteries is the one that actually will end up giving us better workouts. I use it for power naps whenever I can - my favourite trick is to have a small espresso, use Pzziz for a snooze - 20 minutes later, I'm recharged and the caffeine starts kicking and I have THE best workout. It's amazing." Nike+ Running; Pzziz

3. Fitocracy , free

Voted app of the year by Men's Journal , think of Fitocracy as the social network of fitness enthusiasts - both those who share your pain, and those experts who can teach you a thing or two about turning it into gain. Ultimately an app to motivate yourself, Fitocracy is designed like a game whereby you log your progress, list your challenges and then smash them - using the guidance and help of the other members who regularly post videos and tips on how to get fit.

4. Train Tip - Weight Off Your Mind, 8.99

The thinking man's guide to getting fit and getting the weight off, this app uses the power of the mind to reach your dream body - in theory. Hypno-therapeutic audio tracks and neuro-linguistic programmig techniques work on your mind muscles, so that you'll remedy the cause of your weight gain, and not the symptoms.
