			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Health conscious individuals will always have the urge to diet, but it can also be a gruelling process especially if you do not have a set plan. What we need is a tool to tell us what to eat exactly and not think about having a meal plan everyday. This is where Swole comes into play. Swole generates a diet plan for you based on your calorie targets and set meals in a day.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/swole-1.png?570cd5" alt="daily diet plans" /></p>
<p>To create your diet plan with Swole, just fill up your target number of calories and choose the number of meals in a day for your calorie goals. Swole will then generate a list of meals that you can follow to meet your calorie targets. Before generating the diet plan, Swole lets you set your meal options. For example, if you want to have a large breakfast, or eat a post-workout meal, you can set it in the generator options for the program to take into account. You can also add your macronutrient proportions, allowing you to set the kind of meals you will be eating.</p>
<p>Swole also lets you choose the specific food that you want to include in your generated diet plan. And once the diet plan is set, you can still edit each item to your liking.</p>
<p>Swole is a nice tool for automating diet plans while allowing enough customization so you can have a personalized diet plan that will work for you.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Generates a diet plan based on your calorie targets.</li>
<li>Sandbox mode lets you edit generated diet plan.</li>
<li>Share your diet or post in your profile.</li>
<li>Pre-select the type of meals you want before generating the diet plan.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it, we all promise ourselves that we&#8217;ll go to the gym but we end up not going. GymPact is a free web service that motivates you to go to the gym by putting money at stake. Here&#8217;s how it works, you sign up and tell the service how many days you are committing to go to the gym. If you keep your commitment, you win rewards, but if you don&#8217;t, you actually pay up.</p>
<p>When you signed up, you put a credit card on file so you can take your gym goals more seriously than ever. You cannot trick the service either as it requires you to check in via an iPhone app every time you go to the gym. It is a great way to make sure you follow through on your commitments.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/gym.png?570cd5" alt="gym commitment" /></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Get paid when you go to the gym and loose money if you don&#8217;t.</li>
<li>Check in and out of gym via iPhone app.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are someone like me who&#8217;s considering starting a daily workout schedule soon, and own an iPhone or iPod touch, then you might want to check out this nice free app called Fitness One. It lets you create daily workout plans for up to 6 months, and the content it offers is created by certified personal trainers. It offers tips, exercise videos, pictures and also has options like Routine Builder, Exercise Directory, Exercise Logs, Fitness Analytics and more.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/fitnessone1.png?570cd5" alt="track your fitness" /></p>
<p>The app is neatly designed and is very easy to navigate through. The pictures and videos look nice. For a personal fitness program, this app might be a good start, though I won&#8217;t say that it can replace the routine of going to a gym or the guidance of a personal trainer.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Track workouts, create exercise routines.</li>
<li>HD videos and pictures of exercises available.</li>
<li>Content created by certified personal trainers.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are skeptical about spending hundreds of dollars on fitness equipment, Sandbag Fitness is a great alternative.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you would like to remind a friend who smokes of the damage their habit is doing to them, simply stating it might be useless. What you could really use are some visual aids. Here to help you in that department is a web service called AR Lungs.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/arlungs.png?570cd5" alt="damage done to lungs by smoking" /></p>
<p>AR Lungs is a free to use web service that is meant to discourage smokers from smoking. The website tries to show a human being’s lungs being affected after long term smoking. Augmented reality is employed to have a person position himself in front of a webcam and visualize his lungs. You can then set the daily number of cigarettes smoked along with the number of years somebody has been smoking. You will see the color and condition of the lungs changing accordingly. The final sight will hopefully discourage any smoker from continuing his habit.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A user-friendly web service.</li>
<li>Discourages smokers from smoking.</li>
<li>Employs augmented reality through your webcam.</li>
<li>Factors in daily smoked cigarettes and number of years a person smoked.</li>
