Hack your health using fitness technology

I’m a big fan of fitness apps and wearable gadgets -- anything that can help make working out more interesting and fun is a big plus in my book, which is why I love apps like Zombies, Run! and Superhero Workout.

I’m not alone either -- one in four smartphone owners use a device to track health, diet or exercise, and fitness apps are among the fastest growing niches in the app market, rising by 49 percent in 2013.

Supplement Mart has created a useful infographic exploring the rising trend of using technology to enhance fitness goals. As well as providing information on the growing popularity of app and fitness technology use, it breaks down how fitness fans use their apps (goal tracking is the number one activity, followed by awareness of health issues, and then motivation).

The infographic also reveals some of the top app and gadget choices for your consideration.
