Fitness Phone App Review: The Introduction

At first, the idea of bringing technology into fitness seems almost counterintuitive.  I mean isn't it the video games, TV's and, Facebooking/Twittering that is taking up all of the free time where people could be exercising...

Well, I guess it goes back to the saying where if you can't beat them, you might as well join them.  The Y-generation, loves technology and the capabilities it gives us (I'm completely in this category!).  The improved portability and processing power along with the ever expanding ability to search, interact, and connect over the internet with our phones has given developers and fitness trainers a new method/tool in the attempt to improve the health of our country.



From the perspective of an Exercise Scientist and a fitness trainer, I will be downloading, testing, using, and reporting on several fitness apps available on the Android market.  If someone wants to send me an iPhone or iTouch I would also be more than happy to review! :-D

Below is the list of apps that I have lined up to test as of right now (in no specific order):

• CardioTrainer
• BodyFitness
• Endomondo Sports Tracker
• Instant Heart Rate
• JEFIT
• SportsTracker
• Training Room Online
• Push Ups

Post suggestions of other apps that you have used or would like to be tested for you!
