The Best Fitness Program *****

by David Wilfret – Lite Version 4.0 – Mar. 24, 2009

Based on reviews, I originally bought GymGoal. It was a very good program; however, I was disappointed that it did not let me track cardiovascular. I switched to iFitness; however, I was disappointed as many of my exercises (dumbells) were not listed. I have since switched back to GymGoal. All of my exercises are listed, workout programs can be downloaded / emailed / charted and good pictures / animations of the exercises. From this program, I have found new exercises to do. Based on me reading reviews and trying out the above mentioned programs, I would definitely recommend GymGoal. I would still like to be able to track my cardiovascular exercises as this is lacking in GymGoal.

GymGoal Lite is a workout instruction app for the iPhone/iPod touch. This app may not be good for those who dream to become super bouncers or want to make to the WWE arena. GymGoal lite is for people who are conscious to maintain their health, lose a few unwanted pounds and want it to be reflected on their well shaped bodies.

Finding a good gym and a good instructor is not the only way to stay fit if we have our own workout  equipments and a very reliable pocket instructor in applications such as this healthcare app GymGoal Lite and those books on physical fitness. The last thing that concerns us now is to pick the best. GymGoal Lite may not the best, yet it is a good one.

As we are living in a fast pace today, healthy body and a healthy lifestyle are the first and the last things that we have to have to free ourselves from cardio diseases, stress induced disorders, unbalanced alimentation and many more of those disorders. This healthcare instructor can always be in your pocket, this is a good idea.

What does this healthcare app provide?

1. 200 Tips and illustrations of weight training exercises. You heard it right, this is the exact substitute for a human trainer.
2. The application covers different equipments and level of experience
3. Workout for different muscle parts are provided and many more.

The only thing and somewhat a handy feature that the developer missed out is the option for users to create and record their workout data sheet. However, this feature might come with the next update. Well, this is the right time to download this healthcare app and start taking care of yourself.

Here are some images of GymGoal below. As you can see the application allows you to select a body part , which would then allow you to choose a particualr exercise and you can find out information on that particular exercise.
