First I want to send a big ol’ CONGRATS to my wonderful friend Carmel! She won first place in the Twitter/TT Transformation Contest. Here is link to her story and the other winners of this contest. I cannot express enough how very motivating and supporting it can be when you join a contest or join a group such as TTMembers.com or WDF Fitness Talk. You have people supporting you and pushing you to reach those goals. It’s amazing! Even with the twitter contest, I was always getting support or feed back on my meals or workouts. One of the most important things you need when trying to achieve fitness goals is a good support system! Again..WAY TO GO CARMEL!!

Have you heard of Wayfinder Active?

Wayfinder Active is a free download for your mobile phone. With Active you can find and record your own running, hiking or biking trails and record your distance and calories burned. Active users are able to interact with others in their neighborhood through its online social networking site, so friends can meet up with each other in a specific location for a jog in the park or a mommy-and-me stroller walk. No matter where a user goes during the day, with an Active-enabled phone, a GPS is always in the palm of your hands.

Sounds pretty cool eh? Well its not compatible with my blackberry, so I wasn’t able to try it out, so if any of my readers try it out, please come back and let us know what you think!

If you haven’t yet, make sure to check out PhysicalFitnet.com. Lots of great videos of different exercises and workouts and if you are a personal trainer, they offer FREE web pages! Pretty cool site!

Check out Froose, the new healthy drink for kids.

Developed by Cornell researchers with mom and food executive, Denise Devine, the Froose process is a patented new way to combine organic whole grains and fruit to create a juice that is naturally low in sugar and a good source of fiber. It’s made with organic brown rice, yet tastes great to kids in such yummy flavors as Playful Peach, Perfect Pear, and Cheerful Cherry. Kids will think they’re drinking the same old sugary juice - but yet it’s completely organic, nutritious, low in sguar, and provides the fiber, vitamins and complex carbohydrates for bone and muscle growth.
