Garmin Fit is a US$0.99 iPhone app that is used as a training tool for walking or cycling. The app uses GPS to keep track of your exercise stats, like speed, distance traveled, route traveled and an estimate of calories burned. This data can be uploaded to GarminConnect, a web-based service. The app also allows you to select music that is on your iPhone to accompany you while you exercise. With the latest update to the app, Garmin has added Live Track (available as an in-app purchase), which allows you to send a 'follow me' invitation to others via email, Facebook or Twitter. They'll get a link that lets them monitor your elapsed time, distance, speed, elevation and more. Just the thing to let someone virtually participate with you while you are on that run or marathon. Live Track can be had for $20 per year or $1.99 per month. Reviews Read More

Losing weight is on a lot of people’s minds post-New Year, so this is a perfect time to revisit tips and tricks about how to use Apple technologies to help you get healthier in 2012. Music, food and activity monitoring all contribute to a healthier you, and can be tracked on your Mac or iPhone. Whatever music source you use, get in the groove during your workouts. My favorite right now is Pandora radio, since I find variety an excellent motivator when working out. A good set of Bluetooth headphones is also probably a wise investment, since they prevent cords from getting caught during activity. My favorite right now is the Jabra Sport. Not only does it do audio and voice, but it also does FM so I can tune into the TV audio at the gym. I also recommend Yurbuds. You send Yurbuds a picture of your ear and they match Read More
