I love fitness gadgets, they make life so much easier! I've got a few myself but just curious as to what else is out there...the Fitbit is my absolute favorite right now because it talks to all my other fitness apps :bigsmile:

    I have a garmin forerunner 305 for running/heart rate
    I use the run/walk app for running because I do interval running and this tells me when to walk and run
    I use the Libra app to track my weight

    Zombie run is soooo fun! :D
    I have MFP and an app called AllTrails :) You put in your area code and it gives you trails around your area! Super neat!

    It may be overkill but I use both the Fitbit and heart rate monitor...I need to know if I am working our hard enough and the heart rate monitor gives me instant feedback.

    Just got in a Sports Tracker bluetooth HRM and the Android App. Works great, would highly recommend it.

    Other than that, MFP and Slacker Radio, RocketFish RF-MAB2 Bluetooth Headphones. I leave my phone in the my bin at the gym and wander through the facility listening to my music and tracking my heart rate.

    I love my fitbit.

    Favorite apps are Get Running (C25K), MFP, Map my Walk/Run and Audible (I know it's not technically a fitness app, but I like to listen to audiobooks when I work out).

    I checked this out and it looks like fun, I will definitely give it a try!

    I've used Cardio Trainer and Endomondo with my Polar bluetooth heart rate monitor. I think Endomondo is more reliable and it syncs with My Fitness Pal and Fitbit so I've been using it more.
