If you’re into The Walking Dead and the rest of the zombie craze, this app is perfect for you. Designed to entertain and motivate, the app works like a game where you would “collect” items along your run (or even walk if you want). Together with your custom music playlist, there will be audio recordings playing in between tracks. In the story, you are known as Runner 5 and your mission is to collect supplies like first aid kits and bottled water in order to rebuild your base in Abel Township, a safe place in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. And the best part? Along the way, you would need to escape from zombie mobs chasing after you. Talk about a shot of adrenaline!

Another great running motivation app is BullDash where virtual bulls will start chasing you as soon as you hit “start”. Feeling like you’re in Pamplona, Spain, you will need to survive and the longer you do, the more coins you will earn. You don’t need to keep looking at your iPhone as there would be sound effects of bulls getting closer and crowds cheering and yelling.

For dog owners, this would be a great app to train and exercise with your pet. It combines cardio, strength and dog training so you can get some exercise as well as the time to walk your dog at the same time. But besides jogging, there’s a variety of exercises like sprints, high knees and even wide step for you to do. As part of the dog training, commands are given fast and exciting for your pet so that they won’t lose interest.
