App means fitness is close at hand

Convenience is essential in a fast-paced world where time is precious, Jiang Yijing reports.

Huang Rong used to work out at the campus gym during her college days and would use it at least five times every week. But after graduation and the commencement of a fast-paced life in Beijing, the 26-year-old found working out on a regular basis became problematic.

But help was at hand, literally. Huang turned to fitness apps. Now, with the guidance of a mobile phone app named Keep, she exercises five times every week for at least a half hour each time at home.
