I thought it might be a good idea to talk about a couple of my favourite iPhone Apps that use in my everyday fitness maintenance. My two favourites are:

iFitness

Some of the features that you get with iFitness are:

iFitness App for the iPhone

• over 300 unique exercises (more than any other application)
• clear images of people doing every exercise & full text instructions
• 175 (and quickly growing) number of video instructions for each exercise
• cleverly designed logging feature to record and track your progress
• ability to add your own exercise and track it
• exercises ordered by body region they target (abs, arms, back, etc), exact muscle they workout or the equipment they use
• ability to create MULTIPLE customized workouts
• 20 routines with varying goals (weight loss, strength, ab definition, golf program, etc)
• ability to email workout logs to yourself in csv and pdf format
• add custom photo for exercises from iPhone’s camera or photo library
• graph your workout results to give yourself the encouraging boost you need
• stop-watch timer to keep track of your resting time between sets
• weight monitor/bmi calculator/measurements recorder to keep track of your progress and graph the results
• FREE unlimited backup & restore to iFitness server to keep all your iFitness data secure
• ability to track MULTIPLE users
• Supports imperial and metric units (e.g. lb/kg)
• Full iOS4 multitasking support

I can’t say enough about this app. I love the timer, it makes sure that I take my minute break…not more. I love the routines, especially when I am on the road and have to improvise. Moreover, I love the videos, because I don’t always know the proper way to do every exercise…or, just want to check that I am in fact doing it correctly. Really helped with the ab crunches on the a ball, because with the video I realized I wasn’t going back far enough…what a difference when I did  them properly.

Nutrition Menu

Some of the features in this app include:

I love this app, well, because I was really one of the first apps I ever used . I have watched it get better and better with every update and I have become very comfortable with it. Also, I have all my favourites saved in it. If I got another Calorie Counter App, I would have to start all over again. It is not the most popular calorie counting app in the App Store, but it my favourite.
