Tuesday's Trim Down

This week's Trim Down is a great frugal tool for those of you with iPhones, iPad or iTouch. Apple offers Apps (short for applications) for working out you can download to your iPhone. The Apps provide you with information and pictures you can use while working out. Best of all, these Apps are available for *free* or for a small fee.

Some of FitBritt's recommendations:

1.) Runkeeper (free)- Tracks your distance, pace and calories burned for running, walking, hiking etc.

2.) Lose It! (free)- Lets you set goals and keep track of your calories intake and exercise output. Great for losing weight.

3.) Body Fitness (free)- Ever get confused when FitBritt explains an exercise- use Body Fitness to show you how to perform exercises like V-sits, crunches, lunges, yoga moves and more. Also tracks workouts and weight.

4.) Weight Watchers (free)- Everyone can download this app to get information on recipes but those signed up for Weight Watchers can also track their point intake.

5.) Yoga Trainer Pro ($1.99)- Shows you how to perform yoga poses using pictures and lets you create yoga sequences.

6.) Fitness Builder ($9.99)- A comprehensive program providing you with workout ideas and programs, custom exercises, fitness trainers, images, videos, text and audio, capability to share workouts, ability to ask ask fitness questions and track your progress.
