iPhone Fit

Came across this post from over a year ago and had to get it out there again! Love these awesome apps...gotta dig for more soon!

Original post September 19, 2009...

My husband and I are iPhone nerds. We both spend too much time cruising the App store looking for cool (sometimes unnecessary) apps. Just like the Apple TV spots, I always seem to find “there’s an app for that.”

While the hub enjoys the Fart App, I prefer the Fitness and Nutrition apps. It’s amazing how you can keep yourself fit and tech savvy these days.

Here are some of my faves. Check ‘em out and get moving.

Eight Glass a Day
Like a broken record, nutritionists and diet experts alike preach the water gospel. It is tricky to drink your 8 glasses a day, but so worth it for a litany of health, weight loss and weight management reasons. This app is a FREE way to track your intake. It’s like a game for me. Just don’t drink those last 3-4 an hour before you go to bed. Your full bladder will interrupt your beauty sleep.

Couch to 5K
If you are a beginner with great intentions to get a workout program underway, then this is a fab app. It helps you get off the couch and on a 9-week journey to run 5K (3.1 miles) without stopping. Not everyone is a fitness pro, so this is a stellar way to get moving (for only $1.99).

Tap & Track – Calorie, Weight & Exercise Tracker
This is a one-stop shop for tracking your calorie intake, workouts and manage your weight. I love that I can search for workouts and determine the intensity level. You just have to be honest! At $2.99 it’s a must!

NikeWomen Training Club
You can get workouts and even create an avatar of yourself. So fun and so irritated that I can’t play with it. Hopefully the hub will let me upgrade my celly soon. Ummm…hello, it’s FREE even!

Basic Calendar feature
I encourage everyone to get this FREE feature rockin’ on their phone. You can set reminders for your favorite group fitness classes on the calendar. You can hit repeat and it will remind you each week to haul your booty to my classes (just enter your fave instructor’s name in the notes field). I’m back at it on October 3. Get it on the calendar now!
