Very cool website for new lifters/dieters

www.dailyburn.com If you're a vet and have your diet and workout programs and diet down to routine, something like this is less useful, but for people that are new it can make things easier. I've been playing with a couple of sites and this one is definitely the best so far. It was good enough that I thought it was worth the subscription. It integrates your workouts and diet into a single site. I haven't played with the iPhone app yet, but you can use it for both your training and nutrition log. The way it works is you create your workouts ahead of time. You pick an exercise and enter the # of sets, reps, and weight, or for cardio the type, length, and intensity. All of the included exercises have descriptions and many have videos as well. If an exercise is missing, you can add your own. If you have a Pro account ($15 for 3 months or 45 for the year), you can schedule your workouts as well. You can integrate your workouts into an overall program to share it, if you so desire. Or, you can choose to do programs setup by other people. People with pro accounts can use programs designed by real trainers, which is nice for people that just want to get right down to it instead of doing tons of reading on their own. Together with the included videos it makes it really easy to get up and running quick The nutrition side does most of what you'd expect it to do. I haven't played around in here as much yet, though I will. You can select (or create your own foods) and combine them in to recipes. There is a log wherein you can track what you ate every day, and it has a water tracker as well. There is also a meal planner, which does exactly what you think it should do. The meal planner is probably the most deficient part of the site because it's rather inflexible with only breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack 1 & 2. This is in contrast to the nutrition log wherein you can assign what you ate to breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, evening snack, and other. I posted a suggestion in the suggestions forum just to make sure that they're aware of the issue. It will also spit out a grocery list based on your meal planner. Oh and it obviously handles nutrition goals. You can also track body measurements (not just weight), and upload progress images. They've thought about almost everything. And obviously you get tons of graphs and charts on everything. It's not quite perfect, but it's pretty close, and it's a hell of a lot closer than anything else i've seen. The iPhone app will be key imo. Hopefully it's user-friendly for quick input at the gym, but judging by the rest of the site, it should be.
