STAY HOME
Set yourself a daily challenge
Found yourself sitting at home wondering what to do in the evening? If you don’t fancy another night of watching the news, why not mix things up? Set yourself a challenge to learn or try something new and these apps will help keep you on track.
Enhance your mind
It’s time to flex your grey matter. Filled with testing teasers and all manner of enjoyable brain training games, Elevate will target specific areas you’re looking to enhance – such as memory recall.
If you have no particular goal, you can just enjoy putting your mind through its paces. Come back day after day to build up your brain-training streak.
Soup up your cooking
Tired of rotating between beans, cheese or spaghetti hoops on toast? Then use your additional time at home to upgrade your abilities in the kitchen.
From healthy dinner options to delicious treats, Tasty is filled with recipes to get your stomach rumbling. Each detailed recipe is accompanied by a tutorial video, making them easy to follow. What could go wrong?
Build up your fitness
How many push-ups can you do? C’mon, be honest. No matter how low or lofty your current figure, Adidas Training by Runtastic can help you increase that number and bolster your overall fitness.
To start, the app will ask you to take a fitness test and decide on your end goal – be it weight loss, building muscle or looking lean. You’ll then be presented with a curated exercise plan, giving you daily workouts to keep you on track.
Master an instrument
If you have ever wished you could play the piano, there’s no better time to start learning.
Spend 15 minutes a day working your way through Simply Piano’s intuitive, engaging lessons and you’ll soon transition from being ivory ignorant to piano proficient. You can even play on your device, or with that keyboard you shoved in your attic years ago.
Document your days
Many of us only document the exciting moments in our lives. 1 Second Everyday helps you find joy in the little things.
Cut a single second of action from a photo or video each day and splice them together, forming a bespoke video of memory-jogging moments. And why not document your piano-playing progress or those abs that are starting to take shape?
