Getting BACK in Shape – Part 2 – SparkPeople.com

Amongst many of the several motivational items to get me back into shape, many of the dozens of Web 2.0 fitness sites have been included. Prior to this Web 2.0 boom, I was forced to rely on many of the lackluster fitness sites, that even included subscription fees. Presently with the boom, here are several of them:

• DietTelevision – http://www.diettv.com
• Traineo http://www.traineo.com
• FatSecret – http://fatsecret.com
• Fitday – http://fitday.com
• WeightLossWars – http://www.weightlosswars.com
• Gyminee – http://www.gyminee.com
• The Daily Plate – http://www.thedailyplate.com
• Inpowr – http://inpowr.com
• RunFatBoy – http://www.runfatboy.net
• iTrainHarder – http://www.itrainharder.com
• Skinnyr – http://www.skinnyr.com
• Gimme20 – http://www.gimme20.com
• MyFoodDiary – http://www.myfooddiary.com
• FitSync – http://www.fitsync.com

Granted, I haven’t tried all of the above, but I have tried a few and I personally don’t see how any of them can compare to www.sparkpeople.com.

Sparkpeople finally gets it right when it comes to motivating people to get off the couch and get on the go. All of the tracking pieces are there for fitness and food and they reward you for doing so. They have implemented a highly motivational point system that rewards you for not only working out, but also for just logging in on a regular basis, tracking what you eat, tracking your water consumption and many many many other items.

Along with of the things you can track, SparkPeople offers dozens of different videos and tutorials on workout routines, recipes and many different motivational e-mail newsletters.

All of these items are highly custmizable food plans, fitness plans, goals, streaks and many other amazing features. It’s hard to believe this is a free web app, because the amount of data you can compile and track over time is simply amazing.
