Real Exercise is better than a Mobile App

Sometimes the real thing works our better than the virtual solution.  Need to lose few pounds or get in shape, just like everything else there is an app for that. 

Quoted from an article on ABC News "On iTunes alone, there are more than 1,500 fitness software applications or "apps" from which to choose. In 2011, nearly 10 percent of cell phone users downloaded at least one of them to help track or manage their health, according to a 2011 Pew Research Center Internet survey.

In an effort to find out if any of these smart phone and tablet apps are actually effective, researchers at Brigham Young University in Utah analyzed 127 popular downloads and rated them for their ability to get users to change aspects of their lifestyles. Most apps fell short of this goal because, the researchers found, they weren't based on the sound scientific theories proven to spur real behavioral change"

It has been my experience that the mobile apps are good tracking tools and they can give you real information about calories eaten and caloried burned, but it all boils down to getting exercise the the right fitness equipment.
