Fitness and Exercise Tracking Online

Technology is reaching out to help the world get motivated and get fit. And, the tools available now are truly amazing. Did you know you can use an iPhone app to record what you eat online? You can buy a scale that talks to a website and records your weight loss progress?

After working out several times last week, I was wondering how best to track my fitness activities? I want a software solution that is relatively easy to use, quick to update and includes fitness content. I found several online services and "Daily Burn" really got my attention. Here's a few of the features of this impressive website dedicated to tracking your fitness and nutrition info:

* Growing database of 244,000 foods

DailyBurn iGoogle Gadget
