Apps like RunKeeper will help you reach your fitness goals
From gadgets to apps to social media, technology can have a positive impact on our quest for better. Gadgets like the Fitbit, Wi-Fi scales, and GPS-enabled smart watches bring us the concept of the “quantified self.” Never before has it been so easy to measure and track our personal health metrics. Apps like Run Keeper turn our smartphones into personal trainers. And the explosion of social media has made building awareness and communities around health and fitness more accessible than ever before.
