[Sportsandrec] Accessible workout and nutritional apps (was: Miami speaker request)

Sat Feb 16 00:28:43 UTC 2013

Hi again,
Actually there are two that I have found of value one is from TRX and is
really not going to be of use to anyone who isn't using one.  Its semi
accessable at best.  Lots of little video clips explaining the movements but
the descriptions are weak.
The other ap I came across and I use a lot is simply called kettlebell swing
timer.  It can be used for any kind of intervul training program.  It has
preset intervuls
ranging from 15 seconds to 60 seconds and you can adjust them so that you
work for longer or shorter than you rest. at the beginning of a work set it
gives you a three beep count down then a single beep at the end indicating
the rest period.  You can set it up to do as many sets as you want andit is
great to keep control of the tempo of your workout.

Julie,
I followed the thread and so far FYI they didn't mention fitness aps.
The only Ap was for yoga.
Bill said he did not know of any aps in response to Kendra's question.

Here is what
Denise said

250 poses&  yoga class from Arawella Corporation. In description states use
VoiceOver.
Wonder about daily yoga.com app.

HTH,
Ashley

I'm sorry I haven't been following this thread because I thought it was
about a speaker in Florida.  I am very interested in accessible fitness aps
though.  So if you guys wouldn't mind very much repeating what you've
suggested, I'd appreciate it.

For a nutrition ap I use My Fitness Pal.  It's free, works very well with VO
and I've always found the foods I'm wanting in the data base.
It will track protein, carbs, fat, salt, iron or just about any other
nutritional fact you can dream up.  I did set my account up on my desktop
computer and then keep it updated with the ap, so I don't know how difficult
it might be if you do everything using only the ap.
