Losing Weight with New Technology

It is so easy to embrace new technology when it comes to using our iPhones and iPads. But have you thought about incorporating technology advances into your weight loss and exercise efforts?

If you are serious about losing weight or just exercising then why not keep your food or exercise log online?

Even better especially if you are on the run, is to take advantage of the numerous weight loss and fitness apps that are now available. Many of these apps are free to download or cost just a couple of bucks.

No matter what type of mobile phone you have there are certain to be apps for it. Just do a search online for blackberry fitness apps or weight loss apps for droid.

If you don’t own a mobile device, don’t worry, there are plenty of free online exercise and weight loss tools available too.

Many weight loss and exercise sites have free tools that allow you to track your goals and your activity levels. For example you can track yourself walking a certain path regardless of where you live. Just do a search for online walking routes and you can find lots of options for planning a new walking regimen.

It is not just apps and online diaries that are new technology items for weight loss. Many people are now wearing heart rate monitors throughout the day. These monitors are capable of recording how many calories you burn each day. A great way to really maximize your weight loss!

At one time heart rate monitors where big and bulky and had to be attached by a strap around your chest. Today with all the new advances in technology you can purchase heart rate monitors which can be worn as a watch on your leg or on your arm.

Prices vary as well, you can purchase a basic heart rate monitor for around the $20 mark or spend over $100. It really depends on your requirements so look carefully at each monitor before purchasing.

Another great piece of newer technology when it comes to losing weight is using a gaming system such as Wii. It is easy to load up a workout routine and you simply follow along. These types of fitness programs are extremely popular and are fun for the whole family. It might be something worth looking into.

Some of the games include products like Wii Sports and Wii Resorts as well you can find more sports specific games. One of these is the Wii Fit with Balance Board an absolutely wonderful way to get fit using new technology methods.
