There was once a time when only geeks and yuppies had mobile phones, but that was a long time ago. Today, smartphones are a universal technology. Teenagers, executives, and old-aged pensioners all carry their phones with them, and use them for everything from text messaging to tracking their grocery lists.One rapidly growing part of the mobile apps market is fitness related applications. Since many mobile phones have cameras and GPS tools built in, this makes them ideal for carrying out common workout and diet related tracking tasks. The following seven mobile apps are among the most popular in the fitness market.

1. Bodybuilding.com App
This app is one of the simpler fitness tools. It offers users easy access to the main features of the bodybuilding.com portal, and lets them track workouts, comment on profiles, and manage their friends lists. This is a good example of how a web development company might use mobile application development to keep site members thinking about, and using, their site on the move.
2. Calorie Counter (My Fitness Pal) App
If you're trying to lose weight, then this tool is invaluable. It has a huge user-created database of common foods and beverages, including calorie values for many popular chain restaurants. You can use your phone's camera to scan barcodes for quick-and-easy meal entry.
3. Fitocracy App
Unlike most of the other apps in this list, this particular app is only available for the iPhone. It allows you to track workouts, earn points, complete quests, and otherwise engage with the Fitocracy website. This is another example of how an existing web development company might expand their website via mobile application development.
4. Runkeeper App
This tool uses GPS technology to track the route, mileage, and speed of your running sessions. The things you log in runkeeper can be shared with many other websites, turning running into a great social experience.
5. CardioTrainer App
This app is similar to Runkeeper and only available for Android, but slightly less sophisticated. It's worthy of inclusion in this list because of the extra weight loss and fitness game modules, which can be helpful for people that need a little extra motivation.
6. Fast Food Calorie Counter App
If you eat a lot of fast food, then this simple app can be a huge eye-opener. It features almost nine thousand items from popular fast food chains, letting you log your fast food snacking sessions with just a few taps of the screen.
7. Tabata Timer App
Tabata workouts are short, high intensity workouts where you exercise at full blast for a short interval, rest a few seconds, and then exercise again. This simple timing app lets you set up workout intervals, and will beep to alert you when it's time to stop and start your exercises.
There are lots of other fitness apps, for everything from weight training to yoga or martial arts. Whatever your chosen sport, you can use your mobile device to make your training more efficient, and hopefully more enjoyable as well.

C'mon people! The 4s is still brand new. Apple fans truly are like rats that never get the cheese and continue to get zapped over and over. Don't ask yourself why Apple has more money than some small countries if you are already planning to trade your 4s in for this new version.....again. Only a company as slick as Apple can convince people they need to upgrade overpriced electronics every year when they can't afford to drive a decent car or pay their bills on time every month. Slick marketing for sure. The old saying "a fool and his money are soon parted" should be their slogan for life!
