Use APPS for measuring and tracking

Exercise caution when choosing health apps - USATODAY.com


This article provides sound advice in an age of technology. I prefer to use technology for measuring and tracking performance once an individaul plan has been established versus letting an Application establish an individual plan. To me there is no way to account for personal diferences in an universal application. Of course, there are helpful Applications that provide tips and ideas and I like those applications.

Supersets

I have used the concept of Supersets in my training and have found that it works well to burn fat while keeping the work out intersting.  I aslo recommend 3 Supersets in my training.  The linked article is very good.

Happy New Year is not motivation enough.

Motivation takes work and motivation is what it takes to stick with a good fitness plan.  Staying motivated is a challenge that you can meet but you need creative ways to do so.  I like the article that I am linking to because the author recognizes that staying motivated takes work.  I hope that his tips help you. I especially like his tips to "step on the scales regularly" and to 'set realistic goals".  You cannot improve if you do not measure.
