Apps That Get You Into Shape

I have been talking a lot lately about wanting to get myself back in shape and eating healthier. Well, guess what? There’s an app for that. In fact, there are a number of apps for that. And here are my top faves so far…

StepTrackLite – Sounds cool right? This app works as a simple pedometer to measure and track physical activity while strolling, walking, or running. You can carry the phone in your pocket, wear it on your belt, or even in your backpack. 

iMapMyRun – This handy app utilizes the iPhone’s GPS technology to track real-time distance, time, pace and speed. You can even post your results direct to Twitter to share with friends and, once you sign up you can save your runs, bike rides and walks to a training log with maps for future reference.

Lose It! – This awesome weight management app allows the user to set goals, create a daily calorie budget, record food and exercise, and view graphs of progress. After entering your stats you can create a custom plan based on how much weight you want to lose in one week. 

Calorie Tracker – One last little cool app I might try out, this one, provided by LIVESTRONG.COM, allows users to look up and track daily caloric, fat, carbohydrate and protein intake. LIVESTRONG.COM has a nutritional database with over 450,000 food and restaurant items and the app pulls information from there. 

Using these apps and drinking my trusty Vitalyte, I am hoping my fitness goals will actually be achieved this year.
