Tech Training

As technology continued to evolve, so did the numerous options for high-tech fitness. Not only are there now apps that track mileage and routes, you can also find fun ones to inspire you to move, such as Zombies, Run! Then there’s on-body monitoring devices (like the BodyMedia Armband) to track everything from calories burned to sleep quality, and, as tablets have become more mainstream, the Skyper-cise trend has emerged: With the wide availability of Skype and Facetime technology, you can workout “next” to friends, with a personal trainer, or even in a group class without having to physically meet someone. Now you really can’t blow off that workout date with your BFF!
