10 FREE iPhone Health Tracker Apps

Apple’s iPhone is among the most powerful and popular mobile devices on the market today, with the capability to support a plethora of apps and extensions created by the developers of the App Store that allow you to manage everything from your household budget to your professional life. There are also a wide variety of health and fitness apps designed to get you back in shape and help you learn to manage your diet, making it easier than ever to maintain your figure or lose a few pounds. Unfortunately, the iPhone is also a bit pricey, making expensive paid apps out of the question for users on a tight budget.
