Who has the time—or the money—for a personal trainer?
Think again. Reaching your fitness/nutrition goals just became a little easier.
Grab your iPhone or iPad and with the right app you can reach your target goal
(many times without visiting the gym). Lose It! is a calorie
tracking tool. Just input the foods you eat and Lose It! tracks nutritional
information. The expansive database includes lots of supermarket staples as
well as a wealth of packaged and restaurant foods. The app also allows users to
set daily calorie budgets; physical activities can be entered to see how many
calories you burned. This popular app is a great health and fitness tool. Free.
iFitness is like having
your own personal trainer at your fingertips. It’s a great app for those who
want to improve performance or at the very least just know how to safely
exercise. With more than 230 exercises in its database, iFitness zeroes in by
body area—so you know how to give specific muscle groups a complete workout.

At home
The newest
trend in fitness is working out along with video games in the comfort of your
home with one of these popular systems: Wii, Xbox 360 with Kinect, or
PlayStation 3 Move which use either motion controllers or motion sensors to
magically detect your movements. Zumba® Fitness (zumba.com) is perfect if you enjoy dancing or even if
you want to learn some new steps for your first dance. This game has nine
different dance styles including Salsa, Hip-Hop and Mambo which you can learn
and perfect. In no time you will be toning your body and burning fat to the 30
rhythmic dance tracks plus special effects all while becoming a dance pro. For
Wii, Playstation or Xbox 360 with Kinect. Wii Fit Plus
(wiifit.com) is for those serious about conditioning and training. Along with a
balance board accessory to measure movements and balance, it also determines
your body mass index (BMI) and will even reveal your Wii Fit Age. With six
training modes and over 60 exercises, there’s no question it will help you shed
pounds in a healthy and effective way. Available for Wii. —Stacy Holz
