If you’re not using your BlackBerry as a workout tool, you’re missing out. In fact, I recently wrote a guest post at Live Fit Thrive about ways you can use your smartphone as a workout aid. It’s a great little tool that can do so much. The end of that list contains some things that might not be of great use to gym buffs. After all, they know how to create a workout. But not all of us do. Thankfully, there are some apps that can help us do that. My Fitness Friends is one, and it’s one I recommend highly — especially to road warriors.
My Fitness Friends is all about creating simple bodyweight routines that you can do anywhere. When you load up the app you go into a screen that lists dozens of exercises. You choose among them to create a routine. You can see descriptive pictures, too, so you ensure proper form when performing the movements. When you’re ready to work out, just hit Start Routine. You can do this right from the comfort of your own home or hotel room. It will time you for each exercise and then move you onto the next one. This is one of the simplest ways to create a basic workout that won’t take up an hour or more of your day. And, again, it’s great when you’re on the road and don’t have access to gym equipment, since it utilizes bodyweight exercises. Best of all, My Fitness Friends integrates with BBM, so you can share your routines and your results with friends. That’s a great way to stay accountable. The more accountable you are, the greater chance you have of sticking with your routine. My Fitness Friends is currently on sale, too, which makes it all the better. You can Get it at App World for just a buck.
