in Fitness and Exercise
Hey, does anyone use any great Iphone apps to record their workouts? I am looking for something that is easy to use, and will track the exercise, weight, reps, progress, etc. The myfitnesspal app just isn't cutting it for me with the weight section, and i prefer not to carry around a notebook/pencil with me at the gym.

Any thoughts?

    Fitness Builder is good they also have the subscription mode where you can download workouts or you can just create your own.

    Ok cool, i'll look it up. I may be hoping for too much as somewhat of a lifting newbie, but does it give suggested workout routines? It would be great for an app to help me remember a proper workout rotation from day to day.

    I use Digifit, especially for cardio workouts. I just pick the workout, tap it when I start, and tap it when I finish. It syncs with MFP. I use Full Fitness to record more details (e.g., type of machine used, amount of time on the machine, calories burned, distance traveled, etc.) I can also put notes in Full Fitness. I also use Full Fitness for strength training.

    If you do a good amount of cardio: MapMyRun and it syncs with MFP. Tracks running, walking, hiking, etc. and is pretty accurate. I use it while hiking and it helps me to remember how long/far I went in case I forget to log it here right away. Plus: it's free! :)

    I just got this app (I need structure and haven't been doing the strength training my body needs), it is AWESOME.
    I also have a FitBit, which tracks weight, active minutes, steps (and syncs with MFP)
    and then there is Carrot's 7 Minutes in Hell, which is my "cardio" for the days I'm lifting... Very funny and fun at the same time!

    Endomondo also syncs with MFP for cardio.

    I use:
    daily- Runtastic Pro, Runtastic Squats Pro, Runtastic Six Pack Pro, Runtastic Sit-ups Pro, Hot5, Sworkit Pro; All of these apps feed seamlessly into MFP
    three or more times a week - GymGoalFree; All but GymGoalFree feed into MFP so I enter that information manually.
    occasionally - MapMyWalk with uploadable pedometer,
    phased out - Runtastic Pedometer Pro

    As you can see, I really like the Runtastic apps. Runtastic Pro can be set to track a variety of activities both automatically and manually. GymGoalFree is great for tracking weight workouts.

    Runkeeper for outdoor cardio (run, walk, bike, kayak, etc.), Jefit for lifting, and use 5x5 app for that lifting program.

    Jefit does suggest beginner routines and allowes users to upload routines but I don't know how vetted they are. You may be better off reading a book and following a program such as New Rules of Lifting or Starting Strength and entering the programs into the app for tracking purposes.
