10 fitness and diet programs for your PDA

Whether you're training for a sport or trying to lose weight, keeping track of your workouts and diet is the best way to meet your goals. But rather than fuss with a notebook at the gym, why not download a fitness program to your handheld and organize all your data on the device? There are plenty of workout programs you can load on your PDA. Some focus more on athletics, while others target dieters. Just like your workout regimen, you can go with a program that's simple or comprehensive. Whichever program you choose, you'll gain the advantage of automated tools: calorie calculators, workout plans, progress charts, and more.
