Buy Walking VideosExercise and Training Links
I have a huge list of links in my drafts list and you are getting them all here at once. None of these really deserved an entire entry all by themselves. I don’t even like a lot of them, but I thought I would pass them along to see if you like any of them.
PUSH – Customed personalized training DVDS for $25 a month. You would need to exercise with these five times a month in order to make it pay for itself.
iMusic | Your Soundtrack for Success – They say that they can get your brain in the “peak performance” mode with their iMusic. It sounds like baloney to me. Maybe a real scientist would be able to tell, but until it sounds less like psuedo-science, I’d save my money.
Podfitness.com – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) – They say their a personal trainer in your iPod for $19.95 a month. You would have to exercise with it four times every month to make it worth it.
The Gadgeteer – BioTrainer – This gadget is supposed to tell you how many calories you burn every day. They aren’t clear about how it can tell your calorie-expenditure, but all I know is you have to pay ten bucks a month just to use it. When I buy a gadget, I don’t want to have to pay a monthly fee just to use my new toy.
HyperStrike online health trainer – Lifehacker – Yet another online website that wants to be your trainer. Unless you can actually take your computer into the gym with you, this might be less than helpful.
We Endure social training log – Lifehacker – This looks like a MySpace for exercise and competition. I looked to see if the Salt Lake 5K had been entered in the Events category, but there was nothing there. I guess it’s not being used much in SLC. This is FREE, so it doesn’t hurt to sign up. If a lot of people use it, it would be good for people looking for training partners. If not, then it’s just a place to put all your exercise information.
That’s it for my links for the day.

I thought about the BioTrainer but I don’t want it if I have to pay monthly for it. That’s something other devices give for free. All of them are off too.

I see your paying to food journal but my hrm does that for free and I never use it. I use paper and pen and my food calc. I might only want the device and none of it’s extras.

I found help by going to some of the websites of fitness magazines such as fitnessmagazine.com . Here you can pick a body part that needs work and they give you multiple exercises to pick from..FREE. I managed to find quite a few that interest me and developed my own workout.

Love your blog!
I actually really like the PUSH idea. I haven’t done it yet b/c I’m working with a trainer at the gym, but if my funds ever get tight, but a still want something special, I would definitely pursue it.
I added you to my blogroll b/c the info on your site is really relevant to my readers. Hope that’s OK!

In addition to above, there is a GPS device called ADEO by motionlingo available online that will give you audio feedback through you iPod during your whole workout for training progress and reports. It helps keep you motivated and attentive to your goals.
