Motivational fitness apps

I don't run, lol, but I would like to start using my Elliptical And doing some walking you have any apps that you love?

The only fitness app I use is Nike+. It keeps track of my runs, tells me my pace, how far I have gone and how many calories I have burned.

I don't have any fitness apps other than basic tracking through SparkPeople. It's nice to note what I did and for how long, but that's all it does.

On a related note, I'm so curious about this fitbit band + app. It's like a pedometer that "talks" to the app and automatically updates with your activities:

It comes out "this spring". (They have other clip on monitors, but I like the idea of a band... sort of like https://jawbone.com/up which I can't seem to locate in my area...)

The Flex looks like the Nike fuelband too lol my dh loves his..I have a regult Fitbit I use with the app...I like seeing the activity I get in

I used to use runkeeper but I don't really use it much anymore

I have had a FitBit Ultra since last August but just had it replaced (which they did for free) with a FitBit One because it was cracking. Love both of them! I love keeping track of how many calories I burn and how many steps I take each day.

For walking I use 2 apps, Endomondo & Runtastic. I use Endomondo for outside walking and use Runtastic when I walk at the REC Centre because it seems to pick up the GPS signal where Endomondo doesn't.

Thanks!

I've had a Fitbit since August and I love it. I think it's the Ultra. It does everything the One does except sync through my phone. Now that would be nice! What I like about the Fitbit app is that it gives you badges for different activity levels. There are daily badges for number of floors of stairs climbed and number of steps taken - and lifetime badges for number of miles walked and number of floors climbed.

I use Runkeeper and MapMyRun for outside runs/walks. For inside, I use Walkroid because I can't get a GPS signal on the track. I use Workout Trainer for strength training, running intervals and abs stuff -- it's great! (These are all Android, not sure if a few are available for iPhone.)

I just received a FitBit from my job this past month and have been using it since. I really like it. We have a group within the FitBit community and will be starting challenges there to keep us motivated.

Oh, wow. That band fitbit looks awesome. I might need to get that.

[marlathrall]

I'm going to get a FitBit as soon as those new ones come out!

[SmallMoments]

Of course they're getting a band fitbit soon! I just got the regular one! Ha!

I haven't used it but Joel recommended this one to me: http://www.nexercise.com/. I guess you log in your exercise and eventually you can earn enough points to get rewards. (I'm thinking runkeeper meets coke rewards??)

I use my fitbit and have it synced with myfitnesspal and runkeeper. They mesh and combine info for me onto my fitbit.
