The SUP team decided we were going to join the masses (no pun intended) and get fit in 07. I know it’s kind of cliche, but you’re health is important, and when you’re launching a startup it’s critical. No time for down time…right?

After making the the decision to get in shape I knew I was going to need something to track my progress. So I set out for a web application that would allow me to track my weight, exercises activity and my monitor my nutrition. I first hit HappyCodr looking for a slick RoR app to manage my health and weight loss but came up short. Next I did a search on del.icio.us for the terms “health and “web2.0“. I always seem to go to del.icio.us these days when I’m looking for a cool product or a site to meet some need I have. I find that the items tagged by the user community are often on target and deliver relevant results. I guess that was the intention huh? Well my fist hit was traineo.

Traineo is a fantastic web application that allows you to set health goals, track your progress and set up motivators that are suppose to “encourage” you along the way. I have Shawn, Sonny (aka Patches O’Houlihan) and my wife Christine set up as motivators…the verdict is still out on who’s going to be the toughest motivator.

Traineo is designed incredibly well, it’s fun and easy to use and includes just the right mix features to help me personally achieve my goals. They ajaxed the hell out the the site (but not too much) which makes it incredibly easy to add and update data. A full review of traineo and other fitness trackers can be found at CenterNetworks if you’re interested in learning more.
Anyhow, check traineo out, and if you want to add one of us as motivator we’re there for ya…If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
