The Venusian Taurus

I've been looking for a more healthy life in this 2012. The first week of January I started jogging, but when you do by yourself, you lose the motivation very easy. So I dropped my exercises until this past Saturday, when my darling hubby fixed the treadmill. I did 15 minutes, stretched and that was everything for the first day of exercise.Then at night, I was on my iPhone's AppStore and I decided to look for apps that could help me with tracking my exercises and motivational help. Was when I came across three interesting apps, which I will be reviewing during this week. Most interesting: These apps also have a social network behind them, so you can actually share your experience and be motivated by other people into weight loss or just a healthier life.

Today I am reviewing MyFitnessPal.com, which has been my favorite one.

MyFitnessPal is available for iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile and Blackberry. Its website design is really simple and easy to navigate. On the AppStore, it's scary the number of great reviews this app has. For the picture to introduce you to the website, I chose the logout page, because is cleaner than the home when you first access. I mean, the home page has a couple of success stories and where it was featured. Talking about who featured MyFitnessPal, The Guardian, USA Today, Marie Claire and others are just a fewer of the big list of who featured it.

They also have a really large food database, and one of the most interesting things connected with it is the fact that you can scan the bar code of what you are going to eat and the app will find its name. Their food database had been the biggest one I've seen for right now.

MyFitnessPal includes really awesome features, like their forums, where you can get motivated by other members' stories and discuss fitness tips, you can create your own blog, your badge to put in your blog or website and more and more features.


I definitely recommend MyFitnessPal.
