The odds are pretty good that you, like me, invest an inordinate amount of money in a ridiculously advanced and all-consuming phone-like product (i.e. a smartphone). Now, I tend to be behind the times with technology these days (partly deliberately) but I don't recall hearing about an app that will go so far as to exercise for you but there are several simple and easy to use Applications that have proven to be, at worst, extremely entertaining and, generally, very helpful.
I enjoy hiking and walking/jogging/running around with the wife and dog and I encourage my clients and the general membership to follow suit. And by simply hitting "record" in the iMapMyFitness application I can get a presumably accurate picture of how fast I got the walk or run or ride down, just how far I went and a map view of the course I followed.
This makes it exponentially easier to try and do the same route a touch faster or to simply go farther next time and so on.
So, a big fancy phone with fancy gadget-try attached (my wife has a flashlight application... almost ridiculous) isn't on my "required" fitness tools list, but they're damned helpful.
Try it out.
