Shreveport-Bossier Personal Training

Matt Allison, a student at Penn State University has won a $10,000 prize to apply towards a unique fitness innovation. Allison is going to be using the prize money to help develop a “virtual personal trainer.” The device will be a portable touchscreen unit that will track workouts, monitor progress, store exercise information, provide workout advice, display nutrition information, and will track the user’s progress through charts and graphs.

The device will also sync with a fitness-based social networking site. There is a possibility that the device will be developed for an existing hardware unit, such as the iPod, the iPhone, or some kind of Windows Mobile-based PDA.

This seems like a great idea and I don’t know why there aren’t more devices like this already on the internet. You can read more about this at CollegeMogul.com.
