iPhone Fitness Blogging
Tags: iphone fitness, iphone blogging

Smartphones like the iPhone have been revolutionizing the Internet and have the potential to do the same for the health and fitness industry. While some suggest that tracking workouts at the gym is useful with the iPhone, I'm hesitant to get into that because think my workouts would take double the time if I had to type after each set. For those interested - fitconnect will soon have this feature. But I'll try fitness iPhone blogging I recently bought an iPhone an the web browse feature is great. I'm testing right now by writing this blog via iPhone. Maybe now I'll be able to share fitness advice on the go or while I'm sitting on the train. I've noticed some disadvantages of iPhone blogging - as I write this. 1. The iPhone keypad is great - especially if you use horizontal screen - but it still is way slower than typing. 2. I cant upload images via browser FTP. Thus, I'll have to add images later when I get home. 3. It's harder to research topics in separate browsers because switching browsers is more tedious with the iPhone. 4. Can't copy and paste - or if you can, I haven't figured out how to do it. iPhone blogging still has its perks 1. Convenient to kill time if you're bored somewhere. 2. You can blog about fitness thoughts before you forget them. Example: if you go to the gym in the morning, think of some exercise advice, you can type up a tip or blog on your iPhone at work- if your work blocks your internet or you dont work by a computer. 3. When your done blogging your fitness thoughts on an iPhone you feel much prouder of your iPhone keying abilities. And you'll now be a faster text messager - which can really help when you get a text message from your girlfriend saying "who is Bambi and why is she calling for you?"

plucky Definitely a fellow gadget-junkie here... I don't have an iPhone, but Apple IMHO is the best pioneer of user interfaces...

OzzieOcean I bring my Palm to the gym... I have a workout and meal tracking program that I can then sink with my laptop... thats my mini internet on the go. I love the uses of a palm... love blackberrys too, but am yet to try the iPhone.

ryan that is pretty cool.. I got the iPhone so I can use it as an ipod as well. It's sweet being able to get online anywhere. I'm addicted.

MleighS84 forget the iphone - its all about the blackberry ha ha - anyway i use my blackberry a lot when done working out its a great way for me to write down my thoughts in my "notes" or email myself so i can add it to my workout diary on my computer - whats neat is i can just connect my blackberry to my computer and transfer files too!!
