iFitness and Lose It!

I have become at least a person who frequently enjoys climbing in this last year. My already sizeable upper arms are more defined, I can pull my body weight up, I know how to belay and am solidly intermediate in my climbs. However, what does Rhiannon always want? To be better.

In light of this, Kevin had started the trend of working out more outside of the gym and losing weight for the sake of having less to haul up the wall and I've made that my chosen method of getting better at climbing. Makes sense, no?

So I turn to my iPhone for answers, as I often do. I had looked at a couple of different apps and finally settled on these two for my needs: iFitness to specifically target muscles for strengthening better than I can do without a personal trainer, (who has the money for that constantly!?) and Lose It! to make me be honest with myself for my intake. This is day 4 of utilizing these tools and although I have to make myself stop and log things, they make it really easy. And both have very comprehensive resource lists of foods and exercises so it makes it way easier for me. I like easy.

For 1.99 I don't think I can call this anything but a success. Now hopefully my other efforts will similarly be.
