Chrome Remote Desktop

But with the help of Chrome Remote Desktop, users can remotely access any Windows system. Here’s how you can access a remote Windows desktop from Chromebook.

1. Launch the Start menu and click on the Chrome Remote Desktop option. You will have to install the application first if you haven’t already done that.

2. Choose the Allow Access option to verify that you are giving this extension access to various settings and features.

3. After that, you will be able to see the systems connected to the app below My Computers.

4. Click on the Get started button.

5. Choose the Windows system you wish to remotely access.

6. Key in the PIN allotted to the PC to get remote access.

7. Hit the Connect button.

CrossOver

With CrossOver, you can run Windows application on Chromebooks. Here’s how you can get this software:

1. Go to the Google Play Store.

2. Look up CrossOver and tap on the Install button.

3. When prompted, grant access to media and files on the Chromebook.

4. Create a copy of the app’s installation file and save it in the Downloads folder.

5. When the installation is over, launch CrossOver.

6. Now, just type whatever Windows app you want in the search bar. For example, type QuickBooks.

7. You may have to confirm the software you want to get on your Chromebook.

8. Now the installation process will begin.

9. Accept the terms and agreement.

Top 3 Fitness Apps Available in Google Play Store



Did you recently decide to become a health buff? Well, if you did, then you might be looking for fitness and weight loss methods that actually work. While fad diets don’t work in the long run, and gym subscriptions end up burning a hole in your pockets, there are other free and effective alternatives to choose from. Even if you are going to the gym and putting yourself on a diet, how do you keep track of your calories? After all, weight loss is just about calories.
Well, with the help of some fitness apps you can keep track of your activities. This way you will get to see how much calories you have burned throughout the day. These apps are a fantastic way not only to keep you motivated but also for outlining your fitness tasks based on the goal you set.
There are tons of fitness apps in the Google Play Store to choose from. One of the most significant benefits of Google’s Play Store is the number of pp it contains. However, every coin has two sides. The more the apps are, the more you will get confused. Even while choosing a basic app, the Play Store will leave you befuddled with its array of options. Therefore, you either need to go through the app reviews or check them out yourself. But a lot of people do not wish to put all of that effort just for downloading a fitness app.
Well, we have carefully weeded out the best fitness apps available in the Play Store. Let’s check them out.

1- Runtastic

Runtastic is a phenomenal fitness application, and it is reasonably successful as well. It supports wearables such as smartwatches and is equipped with various workout routines to select from. The GPS tracks the user’s progress while they walk, run, jog, hike or even go cycling. It displays all the data that it gathers in simple and easy to comprehend graphs and stats. Users can also personalize their dashboard to view just the data that they want to view. The Voice Coach is yet another useful functionality but is restricted to specific features in the free version. Runtastic also supports various music services and applications so users can enjoy their favorite music or play their workout playlist while doing the routines.

2- Couch to 5K

Before you download Couch to 5k, check whether it is the original one as the Google Play Store is riddled with various Couch to 5k variants. RunDouble develops the authentic and genuine Couch to 5k, so surely check the developer before hitting the Install button. The primary concept behind this application is to gear up the user for a 5 km race. If participating in a marathon is in your bucket list, then this application is just for you. This app will prepare you for marathons by slowly increasing the pace and length.

3- JEFIT

JEFIT is your personal gymming trainer that will help you in adopting a healthier and fitter lifestyle. This app is ideal for beginners who want to begin from scratch. It is loaded with animations for exercise routines. Moreover, it boasts an extensive library containing more than 3000 exercises. Furthermore, you do not have to pay a single dime for it. It comes with a handy timer so you can time yourself while working out.
These three fitness applications explicitly show that it is simple to track your exercises without burning a gaping hole in your pocketbook for a gym subscription.
