Looking for a way to make your workouts a little more fun? Whether it be running, biking, hiking, or even walking, if you got yourself a GPS enabled droid phone, there is a droid app you might want to tryout.
Head over to the marketplace and download a free copy of CardioTrainer. (WorkSmartLabs). The main application is free and already provides plenty of functionality without having to pay for anything.
The free application itself will track your running or cycling route through GPS tracking. It will map your progress and show you at the end of your workout how far you have gone and how long it took. It will audibly alert you during your workout what your pace is and how far you have gone. The program will also play your favorite MP3 play list during your workout and will provide an audible voice-over to update you on your progress. If you stop for a break, the program will automatically pause. Once your workout is complete, you simply select the “stop” button from the android interface and your workout will be uploaded to the internet so you can save your workout.
This app is pretty cool and I recommend it to anyone with a droid phone to give it a try if you are a runner or biker like myself. It pretty much makes your workouts addictive and adds that much more of something to look forward to when it comes to that grueling run or cycling safari.
