At my last job I let a 2-3 hour commute get the best of my fitness plans. Now I’m much closer to my new digs and I’m picking up where I left off and getting back into good health and nutrition habits. A month or so into the routine I saw Traineo featured on Solution Watch. It looks like the a decent web tool that could soon compete with some of the paid subscription weight training and weight loss sites out there.

So far you can:

• set a goal for your weight loss or weight gain (for muscle building)
• track calories burned by choosing from types of common activities
• estimate how well you keep to your diet with clever slide bars and informative graphs
• keep to your goals by sharing your results and receiving feedback from “motivators” that you select

I think this is just a few steps away from eclipsing many paid services. I’ve been using the Men’s Health Abs Diet web app because it gives me a meal plan and workout routine that adjusts the more I use it. In the Traineo forums some of the staff have been hinting that this is the next direction to go. Definitely something to keep an eye on if you’re interested in fitness or weight loss.
