I use a FitBit which uses it's own website. For calorie counting I am using the Loseit! app which pull over the information from the FitBit. Loseit! let's you track calories, weight and some fitness stuff. It is easy to use and customize.
I'm using a standard pedometer (probably cost $10), as far as an app, I am using the free version of the endomondo app and uploading to their website. There is a paid version which offers some more features and the web site is fairly detailed.
I already had a Polar heart rate monitor before I got my android phone. So, I still use that, but I also use CardioTrainer to log my runs or other exercise. CardioTrainer has a pedometer feature so I use that when I'm walking on a treadmill or indoors.
I think the biggest deal for me is that CardioTrainer will automatically upload my run information to Facebook for me. This provides a bit of accountability. I have friends who will ask me about it if they haven't seen a run logged in a while.
Of course, it's also nice to be able to go back and see how I've been improving.
On occasion when I'm travelling for work and a run outside isn't practical, I've used the 100 Push-ups app.
@MacGal01: I hear great things about the Fitbit. Do you use the Fitbit to measure your sleep? Have you? How accurate do you think it is?
@Ding: I haven't tried endomondo, but people love it. Would you be interested in a Pedometer on a device such as the WIMM One? ([Only registered users can view links. ]). Is that something you would use?
@Bones10: I personally love Nike+ because it uploads to Facebook. Accountability is definitely important to me. In addition to Facebook, what other social networking sites would you like to have your Runs uploaded to?
In regards to a heart rate monitor, would you be interested in having a heart rate monitor Micro Application on the WIMM One? Would you use it? ([Only registered users can view links. ]).
Lali S.... I do use it to measure my sleep. I would say it's about 85% accurate. I have noticed that when you lay down to go to sleep if you don't move around before you fall asleep it thinks you fell asleep much sooner than you did. It's interesting to see how many times you awakened during the night.
That is really awesome. I was interested in JawBone's UP because of the sleep monitor...but since that didn't do so well, I was waiting to see what else would be good. I have a lot of trouble sleeping so a sleep monitor would be great. 85% is pretty good- not the worst!
Do you believe that a sleep monitor would be a good Micro App for a wearable device such as the WIMM One?
I've been using MyFitnessPal for a couple of weeks and I really like it. I use it as a calorie counter. I'm very data oriented and this app makes losing weight just like budgeting money. You have a target calorie goal for each day and what you eat decreases your remaining calorie budget and exercising adds to your remaining calorie budget. You just have to avoid going below 0 in the remaining calorie budget and voila! you lose weight.
It has a vast food library and will read the barcodes off of packages. I've yet to run across something it hasn't known about when I scanned it's barcode.
I have been using kettlebells for a few years now to maintain my weight. I highly suggest using them as well. There are quite a few apps about kettlebells in the market and most of them are pretty good. You get to burn a ton of calories in a very little time. Hope this helps.
I love that it has a bar code scanner. I think that is very useful. However, how often do you use it? Every time you go to the grocery store? Or you like it and think it is helpful, but don't use it often ?
@primetime34
Oh, I don't know many people who use kettlebells. Good to know. Do these apps count and record reps? or calories burned?
