My Fitness Pal | Telecom Consumer Discussion Forums

Although I`m not a fitness addicted, I used it while going for a weekly jogging. I am not very interested in the foods` evaluation, but in the concrete effort I make, since I have a sedentary job

health apps always go way over the top, your phone has a pedometer to count steps so ok we can track how much you walk – make a great walking app .. no what do they do, they make a walking app that tracks every movement (fine) what you eat, how much you weigh, how old you are, how hot the room is .. simplicity goes a long way .. if you dont track everything your not ‘doing it properly’ exercise is a pain in itself shouldnt the software be easier

You are right from a certain point of view, our lives are over-monitored by apps, but consider that some people can find their motivation to do fitness, unless a friendly app is their companion. It could be somebody close to them, but maybe they are ashamed to admit they are finding with their weight, so a technical voice is preffered
