There's an App for Training, Too!
A friend and I walk almost every day. We recently discovered a great little app (available for most smart phones) that, using GPS, and your weight, tracks the distance (and your path) and evaluates the caloric expenditure. It's called Walkmeter, and it's free. You can tie it to a calendar, and actually keep track of the days that you walk and how far you went.
Since we found that useful, I wondered what else was out there that would help encourage and track exercise habits.
Nike Training, another free app, will run you through a workout using music and coaching, tracking how often you workout and helping you reach goals along the way. You can select the type of workout, and whether you are a beginning, intermediate, or advanced trainee.
For $9.99 you can opt for iPump and Fitness Builder, which lets you select your location (home, gym, hotel, etc.) and then whether you have equipment to use or not.
Another free app for the iPad it FitnessClass for iPad. Using well-known coaches/trainers, you can select (for a fee) a variety of workouts to follow using your iPad - and of course you can do them wherever you are.
Another free app for a variety of platforms is M-Train (you get one free workout, and each new one you buy is $.99), and it will lead you through a range of exercises that include agility, power, strength and endurance.
Needless to say, there are dozens more - a simple Google search will turn up plenty of options and reviews so you can choose the one(s) that work best for your style, time available, and preferred challenges.
So - get moving!!
