iFitness is designed for those of you who want to constantly try new exercises and keep your body on its toes. It has images of 330 exercises and lets you find exercises that work out certain parts of your body. Video instructions for exercises are included too.

iFitness can be used to track your progress. Users can always add their own exercises and keep track of them. Having the ability to choose routines based on specific goals are a plus too.

These days, you won’t need a DVD player or books to find out about exercises you can do to build a rock hard body. Apps such as iFitness let you do just that on your iPad.

With that in mind, here are 6 powerful workout systems that will get you fit:

P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program: for a long time, I ignored this training program due to having seen it on TV on a weekend. But P90X is still one of the most popular training programs around. I haven’t seen too many people who haven’t gotten more fit using this program. It take a while to get in shape though, so don’t expect miracles.

Chalean Extreme – Workout DVD: great workout DVD training system for women. It helps you burn more calories, lose weight, and build a rock hard body. The system works great if you are trying to get rid of the fat in your body. But like other fitness systems in this list, you are going to need to put some work into it.

Forza The Samurai Sword Workout: a very unique training program that makes a Samurai out of you or at least tries to do that. If you are into sword training, this is a cool training program to go with.

Bas Rutten MMA System Workout: I may be a bit biased but nothing gets you in shape faster than training in Mixed Martial Arts. There are a lot of people who train for the sake of losing weight and getting more fit. I personally like doing that but want to have fun too. This training program will get you in shape if you follow it.

Insanity: The Ultimate Cardio System: it’s one intense program that gets you back in shape and improves your cardio. You won’t fail a fitness test ever again if you follow this 10 DVD program. It won’t be easy though.

FACT 3: created for those of you who want to get your boxing or MMA game to the next level. Helps you improve your conditioning and burn those calories fast.

All in all, you can have the best fitness program DVD system in your hands but if you don’t follow the training and watch what you eat, you are not going to get results. If you are dedicated and can stay disciplined, there is no reason you can’t get fit and have fun doing it.

We have not tried this unit, and there is really no need to try it. There are a lot of products that promise great things on TV that fail to deliver. While the concept seems interesting, I am not a big fan of fitness without putting the hours. Sure. The device does have a sexual aspect to it, and it looks interesting to say the least, but if you really want to get fit, there are better ways to do it. When it comes to getting, there is truly no gain without any pain.

Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells: if you just need a set of flexible and solid dumbbells to work out at home and build strength, Bowflex dumbbells are well worth a try.

Withings WiFi Body Scale: a cool WiFi scale that transmits your information online and keeps track of your progress. Not cheap but if you are serious about losing weight, this comes in handy.

After months of waiting, Fitbit has finally been released to the market. For those of you not familiar with the product, it’s the ultimate calorie counter designed to help you stay on track and motivate yourself everyday to get your body moving. FitBit is tiny gadget that you can put on your clothes or on your wrist to track your every step, the amount of calorie you have burned each and every day, and even your sleep quality. Best of all, it comes with an online companion site that the device uploads you data to to help you chart and keep better track of your progress over weeks and months.

So how does Fitbit work? It’s very simple. You can put Fitbit on your clothes and go about doing your daily work without having to worry about counting your steps or doing anything in particular. The device will automatically take care of everything else. It counts your calories and steps and helps you figure out whether you have reached your daily goal (as far as burned calorie is concerned). It also works when you are sleep. The device will keep track of your movement when you are sleep to help you figure out whether you are getting enough sleep each and every night.

All in all, Fitbit is a nice, tiny gadget for those who want to get more scientific and track everything they take in and every step they take. FitBit is not going to lose your weight for you. It’s not a magic gadget. You still have to do the workout. But if you like dealing with numbers to keep you on track, FitBit comes in handy. It’s a bit pricey for what it does but is a time and life saver.
