While the government is stipulating that we all restrict our outdoor exercise to just one session a day, that doesn't limit the amount of times you can work out in the safety of your own home.

You can still keep fit and healthy at any time you like at home without the need for expensive gym memberships and personal trainers if you download the right app.

There is a plethora of apps available on both Android and iOS devices that will help you maintain consistency in your workouts, mix up your exercises to keep your body guessing, and get expert guidance and advice whenever you need it.

And the best part about it all is that most of them are free to download and use, so you're not struggling to justify spending money on an app you may or may not use over the coming weeks.

So if you're thinking about improving your health a little bit during the lockdown and you need a bit of motivation to help get you on your way, check out these top fitness apps you can download now.

An app that works on all smartphones, can be downloaded on to most fitness trackers and gives you a complete view of your daily run/walk/cycle: it's basically a social network for fitness lovers and lets you post your activities onto your newsfeed to show off to friends in a lovely sense of runners' community/competitive spiral.

Whenever you head out on your run, start your workout on your phone app and head out onto the road. Once you're done, you'll be able to see helpful statistics on your run, as well as a full map of your journey.

You can get splits, elevation stats, and even comparative times from other Strava users to see how your progress is improving compared to other users in your area.

You can then comment and like other people's workouts and encourage the community to keep improving it's all rather wholesome.

It's free to download on both Android and Apple devices, and constantly updated by the developers.

If you've managed to buy a Fitbit tracker, then you'll have to download the app onto your phone to make the most of it.

The app is where you'll get all your stats and charts based on how your health and fitness is improving.

And boy are there a lot of stats you can track. From all your outdoor exercises, to your sleep pattern and even the amount of water you take on throughout the day, there are loads of different ways to manage your health points and see improvements the more you use it.

We really like the sleep tracker, which gives you a score based on the length and quality of your sleep, which is really useful for helping you recreate the perfect conditions to get the best nights' rest.

Everything from when you go to bed, to when you last took on some liquids can be tracked, and then you can replicate that to get better sleep and feel more refreshed.

You can even set up reminders to get up and moving every hour or so to keep your body in motion more frequently. Measure your heart rate, your calorie intake, and all your daily exercises to map out your full health chart.

If you get a slightly more expensive Fitbit smartwatch, you'll gain access to Fitbit Coach, which is an extra help to keep you on top of your fitness goals.

It has stored workouts, and live exercises to follow along with, which you can do all from the comfort of your own home, perfect for the current lockdown.
