Smart phones are not only for selfies and social media, they can be used as a powerful tool in pursuing fitness goals. The key to their success is that they help you become more accountable for the work you put in. What is the big deal about accountability anyway?
Well, you say you are, but are you truly eating right? Apps like Myfitnesspal and CalorieKing can track every morsel you put into your mouth, the calories consumed and record a breakdown of fats, proteins and carbs.
And are you doing enough exercise? Apps can track exercise by type, duration and intensity for estimated caloric expenditure. With wrist or belt gadgets or chips in your shoes you can track the number of steps taken daily.
Need motivation? Online fitness communities are a great source of articles, discussion blogs inspirational stories and relevant links. Gym selfies are encouraged! Nothing tracks or motivates better than visual accountability.
As too does sharing your results from that fitness app you’ve just downloaded . Just don’t get so distracted that you spend more time on your smart device than you do working out.
So get plugged in and be accountable, because at the end of the day you only get out what you put in.
Don’t forget to share your gym selfies with us on Facebook andInstagram!
