Helpful Fitness Apps

Except for a brief stint in High School when I wanted to get into the Air Force Academy, there has never been a time in my life when anyone could have confused me with a fitness fanatic.  Sure, I’ve had boutsof health-consciousness.  I’ve signed up for…

SlimKicker

This site has a lot of nifty features installed I haven’t seen on other sites or apps before. There are the standard features – food log, exercise log, groups – but there’s also a Challenges feature where you join challenges with other SlimKicker members, and an inspiration feed (think twitter update or Facebook status) to share your progress or difficulties with SlimKicker friends.

Food logging: really easy search. Pulls up several options and you can find the best match. It’s one of the nicest I've found.

Exercise logging: always tricky and a bit of a pain with any site or app. Too many variables with your weight, your intensity, the weight you used, multiple muscle group activation. Used in conjunction with the SlimKicker tracker will provide more accuracy.

Points: the site has a point system set up in which you earn more points for more difficult challenges accomplished, for making healthy food choices, exercising, etc.

Challenges: challenges can be filtered by type (willpower, nutrition, fitness, emotional, etc.) and difficulty level (1-20). There are also user created challenges and giveaway challenges to be entered in a raffle for cool prizes.

Creations: you have the ability to create your own exercises, recipes, and challenges to help with your fitness goals.

Rewards: at the top of site, alongside your name, SlimKicker level, points, etc., you can post a photo of your next reward for reaching a certain accomplishment (which you set), giving you a little extra incentive when you visit your profile.

Overall, it’s a nice site with a good set up that will help keep you on track with your fitness goals by providing a community of like minded individuals.

Hey guys,

Need a good way of tracking what you eat? Don't have anyone to motivate you or reward you for all your hard work?

I have recently discovered a new website/app called SlimKicker. It is similar to MyFitnessPal (which records your food) but it is a little bit cooler because as you use it, you rack up points by recording your food, partcipatiing in challenges (like nixing soda for a week). Swing on over and check out if you haven't already heard of it. It's free to join so try it out and see if it helps keep you on track.

They are also coming out with a tracker in the new year. It'll look a lot like the FitBit, but a bit more compact. The main colors will be black, blue and red. It will work with the website/app - it tracks your exercise and movements, and you'll rack up points as you move more. Like the website, when you first start, you upload a picture of something you'll reward yourself with (like a dress, ipad, or cheat meal). When you rack up enough points and level up, they remind you to reward yourself.

They've asked me to be a tester for the tracker when it comes out next year, so I will be sure to update you all on how awesome (or not) it is, and then you can decide for yourself if you want one of your own!

Stay Beautiful,

Sam

Hey guys!

So, I've just recently started a diet and I was told about this website:

SLIMKICKER

I haven't spent a long time on it yet, but so far it seems like a great way to help lose weight. You log in everything you eat and it keeps track of how many calories, grams of fat, grams of carbs, etc. you have eaten and how many you have left. You can also do challenges such as "10 wall squats every day for a week" and "give up pop for a week". Everything you do gives you points and once you reach a certain amount of points you gain a level. You also have a "reward" you can give yourself once you get a level up. 

I'm really impressed with it and so excited to use it!!

Does anybody here use SlimKicker? It's a calorie/exercise tracker, sort of like MyFitnessPal, but it let's you add your goal rewards so that you can see how close you are to Goal 1, Goal 2, Goal 3, etc. There are challenges that you can complete for points on the website as well. I am not sure if the points will eventually earn you items like on Sparkpeople.com but at least you can see where you stand among your friends! You can even upload a photo of your reward to motivate you! It's a fairly new website, but it has communities/forums/blogs so that you can chitchat with other users, it gives you calorie/carb/protein/fat/cholesterol/fiber/sodium/sugar goals so that you can reach your goal! It even gives you an expected "reach" day for your "ultimate" goal.

I have only been using it for a short period of time, but so far I am loving it! I would love for others to friend on on there so I can have some SlimKicker buddies! My username is xofirelite so add me!

sooo, i got asked yesterday if i wanted to do a review of a new fitness tracker which will be released next year and well, hell yes i do!

it's by slimkicker. first of all their website is free, yay. so you just register and start entering what you ate in the food log or what sport you did in the exercise log and you can count your calories and so on. and what i think is fun, they work with points. when you first start, you upload a picture of something you'll reward yourself with, like buy a new dress, or ipad or cheat meal. when you rack up enough points and "level up", they'll remind you to reward yourself.

i'm actually pretty excited to try the tracker because it yeah tracks all the exercice and movements i do and i also think that when i can see my process all the time on the tracker it will motivate me to move on. so come on tracker get releeaaaassed! :p
