ifit live

One of the greatest inventions of late is the ifit programs that are now on treadmills and workout equipment.  When our walking trails were closed off (for two more years) because of construction, we decided to get a treadmill so we can walk whenever we wanted to. Little did I know that ifit would totally change how I work out! Besides being able to work with a trainer, it has what I think is the greatest feature: Draw Maps.  I can run or walk in any part of the world I want to... on any route! I can go to any of my favorite cities, such as San Francisco and set my course. As I walk, I can see the sights as if I'm really walking it, on the hills and past places I've actually been! I've walked in the neighborhood I grew up in (I passed your Mom's house Becky!), the city of Rome, the streets of Paris, on the beach in Hawaii... I could even walk a course in my own neighborhood so I could train for the next local 5K! You can also join a live competition on the dates that they are held. My kids love this feature also. Now I just have to figure out how to get Elle on it so she can get some exercise too on rainy days! This really beats standing in line for a machine at the gym and seeing the same old thing every day.
