Mobile Fitness Sites

We do tend to go on about iPhone and iPod Touch applications on the show when we find them. Jeff and I both have iPhones now and it’s natural that we talk about what we’re using. But there are other resources out there on the internet if you have some other phone with an Internet browser. Any of these sites can be used on an Android based phone, Palm WebOS phones, Windows Mobile or any WAP browser you have on your phone.
First one is actually Daily Burn. As well as the iPhone app, they maintain a mobile web site that is available from any browser, including those on your phone. It has most, if not all the functionality to record your foods and exercise just like from the full web site and the app. Don’t let the URL fool you, it will work on your phone. It’s located at http://dailyburn.com/iphone.
Calorie King has a mobile version of their site that you can track calories on as well. It supports iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Palm and Windows Mobile. With the mobile version of their site you can look up the calories of your food, hopefully before you consume it. Their database looks pretty extensive and it gives a nutritional breakdown for the foods. You can just visit the site, http://www.calorieking.com, with your mobile phone to access the site.
You’ve all heard me talk about Livestrong, 1) because of the iPhone app, and B) because of the great food database that backs the site called, The Daily Plate. Well that same database is available on your mobile phone by going to http://www.livestrong.com/m. It’s not even close to as good as the App, but it does fill that purpose of finding out how many calories you are eating.
We mention SparkPeople quite a bit on the show. They have a lot of good tools at their website. Included in those tools is a mobile calorie and cardio tracker. It’s at http://mobile.sparkpeople.com and it is quite good. The search function for foods is not the best and the fewer words you put in to find your food, the better. The cardio tracker works well. Search for your exercise of choice and then enter the number of minutes you did that exercise.
If you have another suggestion for a mobile site, leave a comment send us a link so we can check it out.

On today’s feature section Jeff talks about creating and then maintaining your new healthy lifestyle just like you would a new business. In fact, you can think of your new lifestyle as being a new business. When a company is focused on what they do, everything that they do is for the purpose of being more successful. If you are in the business of becoming fit and healthy, you can haphazardly do things here and then that will help, or you can do things a little more structured.

In the days after the new year, Jeff was inspired by the shows “Half Ton Teen”, “Half Ton Mom”, and of course “Half Ton Dad” to talk about fat enablers. It’s all about the people who help you to be fat, and the people who you help to be fat as well. An enabler can’t make you eat if you don’t want to, but they can sure make it easier to do it. See if you fit into this category.
