iPhone fit | Part 3 :: Tracking Your Runs

Over the last month I’ve started running, something I always made excuses for before. It doesn’t hurt my knees nearly as much as I’d thought it would. Maybe it’s just that I’m wearing the right shoes now, who knows, but I like it. Breaking each goal is part of my motivation. Enter Pace, Path Tracker, & Run Keeper iPhone Apps.

MyYahoo! features

If your looking for a good way to manage news and RSS feeds then MyYahoo! is the best customizable website RSS Feed reader I’ve found. It’s is far more visual than iGoogle and easy to use.

But Safari 4 changes that!

iPhone fit | Part 2 :: Workout Log

This nice little iPhone app I’ve found allows you to setup workouts and track your progress. Much like the people you see at the gym with low-tech clip-boards, you can track your progress on each exercise/piece of equipment and still listen to music all while not carrying around a clip board (with an iPhone or iPod Touch).

iPhone fit | Part 1 :: Getting fit with technology

I love technology. I consider my iPhone an essential part of my daily routine. Recently I heard an apple commercial talking about “if you want to find out how many calories are in your lunch…. there’s an app for that.” Well I did, so I downloaded it for free and it’s sparked a healthy revolution I never expected.
