Hi, I'm looking for an android app that will track distance walked, not just steps, and doesn't require/give any information regarding body weight or calories consumed/burned. I'm wanting to improve my health and that stuff isn't conducive to good mental health for me! I've looked but I can't find any that fit the criteria that don't use other apps that ask that info (like Google fit). Thank you in advance for your help ❤

Hello All I just joined today and was wondering if there was or will be a mobile app available? I checked the google play store and didn't see anything so as of right now there isn't one available that i'm aware of. Granted I am new and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thank You Spike

hello there brothers , I am beginner and want to buy iOS app for gym workouts , but there are too many of them which do you recomend? thanks

I want to get into doing regular mediation. As a beginner, I think guided mediation would be the best way to start. I end up floundering a lot when left to my own devices. I've done mindfulness meditation before with my old therapist and with a weekly group for one semester in college. But I'm definitely open to trying different types. What are some good meditation apps? (I'm asking about apps specifically (or anything I could download to my phone) because I don't have reliable access to the internet, so browser or YouTube based wouldn't work for me.) (I have an android phone, but it's probably worth mentioning apps that work with iOS or Windows phones in case other people are interested.)

I just checked the data usage on my phone, and MyFitnessPal used about 275 mb of data to enter maybe 15 meals in the past month. If it was well programmed, it should have used more like 1 mb or less, since it's just text. Maybe 10 mb after you account for ads. MFP must be loading a large portion of it's database onto my phone every time I search for a food to get that kind of usage, and I'd guess that's also why it's really slow. So I'm no longer using it. Anyone have a recommendation for a different Android meal tracker? My priorities are that it needs a good database of foods, it needs to be easy to use and navigate, and it needs to be quick. The one thing I really like about MFP is that it's easy to get a pie chart of my macros. An app with an easy way to look at macros would be a big plus.

... do you use an app? What one would you recommend? When I was tracking calories, I used loseit.com, but it's not really set up for easy macro viewing (and it doesn't have an Android version that's usable outside the US). Going to try tracking macros as well as I realised my protein intake still sucks and I'd prefer to make that my primary goal, with calories secondary, for a while.

Does anyone use any phone apps for interval training? Any suggestions? I'd like something that, in addition to acting as a timer/stopwatch, would track each interval too. Thanks!

Hi all I'm looking for a good iOS app for fitness and bodybuilding since I can't remember the process of my training. I wonder what is your fitness app. I really want to know about this

Hi guys, I'm starting a uni course in September and I want to hit the ground running with a gym membership. In the past, I've been a bit too timid in the gym and stuck to the cardio and weight machines - weights were always something the proper gym bunnies used, not someone like me. But, I've decided/realised that I'm never going to complete my quest without using weights, so I've got to tackle the weights section. Problem is, I'm clueless. I wouldn't know where to begin. So, I'm wondering if someone can recommend an iPhone app which provides training schedules and guides for strength training work at the gym? I don't mind paying, but free is better! Thanks guys, ChairmanDavey NB. I have tried searching the forums, but 'iOS', 'gym', and 'app' all have too few characters for the search function. Sorry if it's been posted before!

Kind of new to the app and really wanted some running buddies. I mostly do trail running with a once a week street run.

Soo I was an idiot today and will be spazzing about this until I fix it and my usual oh shit sources aren`t helping me much. I saved a file then accidentally reopened an older version of said file and now the updated file has disappeared....

An iPhone app that I use to track my running, iSmoothRun, is free today in the app store. If you're really a geek and you run, then this app will make you wet your pants. I don't have a horse in this race. I just figured free is good and y'all might dig it. iSmoothRun Pro GPS/Pedometer Tracker for Runners

With a new 6 week challenge on the horizon and Steve mentioning one of his goals is to work on meditation, I thought I'd introduce a tool that's been helpful in my practice. Let me preface this by saying I am in no way affiliated with the following app and receive no monitory compensation. This is simply something I have found useful, that I hope can help improve your practice and bring us all a little closer. It can also be had completely free of charge. I'd been meditating for a good long time, and had my head all jumbled up with one too many techniques. So much so that I found my practice too active, lacking focus and basically diverging from the very meditative experience I was going for. I longed for simplification and guidance. Committing to daily meditation, a fan of metrics and appreciating the value sites like RunKeeper have had on my training, I got to looking for an app that would track my meditation sessions, keep a log and gently manage timing. After experimenting with a few apps I settled on Insight Timer, an app that has exceeded my expectations. Originally a free app, and now available in both a free and paid versions, Insight Timer does all the basics and then some: Keeps a log (also recorded to an online profile you create)Times your sessionsTracks your progress with charts and statisticsCan provide meditation remindersShows worldwide meditation activity of Insight Timer usersAllows you to join/create meditation groupsHelps you make meditation friends, follow their progress and get notified if they are meditating as wellMy experience is with the paid native iOS app, but I understand the free version (cloud based/requiring an internet connection) is very similar. The free iPhone version also requires iOS 6 or higher, which I'm not running due to being a moron and not jailbreaking in time. Please share your experience with the free version if you have a chance to play with it. Here's a video showing how the native application works on an iPhone. With the introduction of Groups to the app, I thought this would be helpful for NF members to extend the community into the meditation realm. Thus I've set up an Insight Timer "Nerd Fitness" Group. Feel free to search "Nerd Fitness" from the groups tab of the app and join. Also in my journey to focus my practice I stumbled upon the Insight Meditation Center (ICM). ICM offers audio beginner courses in Insight, or Vipassana meditation, as well as biannual online courses. In addition last I checked there was a pretty active community that I found helpful to participate in while I did the online course. Hope you find this info helpful and I look forward to seeing fellow Nerd Fitness meditators on Insight Timer!
