I made an iPhone application for me cause most exercise apps are for gym rats, overly complicated and I just don't have time for a gym nor interested in looking bulky and lifting weights. I was inspired after using HundredPushups.

I'm blogging the progress of the "Hacker Workout" — speaking of, today I'm suppose to workout!

It works in IE, but not in firefox. That is strange.

Indeed, I use SilverStripe CMS which is a relatively new open source CMS that is pretty awesome... but buggy at times. Eagerly awaiting 2.3. http://silverstripe.org

Your iPhone App looks very slick. Have you found that it helps? As useful as you imagined before building it?

It helps me on days I workout because I know I have a target I'm trying to beat. There are many times where I know I would have stopped wayyy short of the daily target... but the determination to meet or beat it keeps me going.

I'm not sure it's the solution for lazy people though, there's not much that will get you over that.
