Now that 2010 has arrived, many of us look for inner motivation to improve ourselves. While we look to improve our fitness, lose a few pounds and start the new year out right, having the right program to follow and tools to help track our progress can help with our progress and keep us on the right path. Below, I’ve compiled some of the top sites for workout programs, tracking fitness, journals and losing weight.
Workout Plans
- 100 Pushups - Six week training plan, which requires you to put in just 30 minutes per week. The goal at the end of the training program is for you to complete 100 consecutive push ups.
- The Couch-to-5K Running Plan - Cool Running gives beginning runners a schedule and a plan to help you run 3 miles in just two months.
