How can you motivate yourself to be fit and healthy?

A growing concern among people in the world is to become unhealthy.  Too much food combined with too little exercise is a common combination among us. We are exposed to "healthy" food commercials and crazy get-thin-fast reality shows. With modern lifestyle it's easy to eat excessive and exercise less. More than ever it has become vital that individuals have access to a variety of tools to make training as systematic and easy as possible.

Tool - GPS athlete watch with analyzer software!

Motivated_with_gpsOK, I’m lazy! so I need motivation to stay fit - how can a piece of GPS technology help me?  Well it can’t!  But, when you combine a GPS with software that process your data into understandable graphics on maps you will become motivated to exercise again. Investing in a GPS Athlete Watch can make a large difference to runners, joggers, walkers, skiers, hikers as well as to those who need a physical training program to recover from surgery or disease.

Why?

This is clear: An GPS Athlete Watch is nothing more than a stop watch with speed and distance values and with the advance models you can also receive heart rate values.
So what?  I’m still not motivated after my first GPS run?

Here’s the motivator:
After_run_meal When you have finished you exercise you download your exercise data into you computer and analyze it in the software.  We developed Sportsim software as a motivator tool with a fun factor to compare training runs and view progress and maybe even compete with others.  This is your personal motivator: “BEAT YOURSELF AND REPLAY YOUR IMPROVEMENTS AS A VIDEO GAME”. In Sportsim you can replay your exercise on maps – similar to a video game. After some runs you increase your understanding about the values coming out from your GPS device. You get motivated to improve your results and monitor your training endavours, suddenly training become fun! And the fun factor feeds your training motivation.
