It takes a lot to get me out exercising. Face it, my knee hurts.<\/p>\n
However, it doesn\u2019t take much for me to take care of my dogs. Between allergies and some other issues, Macy is around 2 pounds over weight. But she\u2019s a 16 pound dog, and I ask her to do agility. So I\u2019m been taking her for a walk every day, in an effort to get her to lose weight.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been using an website, with an app (works with Windows Mobile, Blackberry and iPhone. It measures how far you go and if you want, posts it to Facebook and Twitter:<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a post: <\/p>\n
\nKathleen Weaver<\/a> Was out walking 0.90 miles with Endomondo. You can see it here: http:\/\/www.endomondo.com\/workouts\/nQW-4CMZZKQ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Here\u2019s the plus on making the twitter and facebook post \u2013 occasionally someone sees them and gives positive feedback.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s really nice and makes me feel good about myself.<\/p>\n
So Endomondo gives:<\/p>\n
\nMeasurable feedback<\/font><\/p>\n
Lets your friends know so they can give feedback<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Also, the neighborhood people recognize it and visit with us. So far, I\u2019ve run into a former student \u2013 twice. And have gotten to know the neighbors better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
