The best part of working out from your home is that everything is in your control. You can set up the area anywhere, start working out anytime and choose your pace. I use a fitness app on my phone but the screen size limits the information that I can see during the exercise. If you use a Firestick then you can use the TV to help you get fit. Let’s check out the best fitness apps for Firestick.

1. Daily Workouts

Best for: Beginners

Daily Workouts offers beginner-level exercises. It follows a simple muscle-centric exercise routine and you can choose from six different muscle groups such as Abs, Arms, glutes, back, legs, etc. Simply select a time limit, difficulty level, and start exercising. The animated image of a virtual trainer would help you maintain the correct form on the big screen. The best part of using this app is that most of the exercises use your body weight to help you get fit.
