Several years ago our pediatrician recommended yoga classes for one of my children as a way of helping her deal with some anxiety issues. We never found the right class situation and things worked themselves out but the children’s yoga theme on the site this week has me wondering if it’s time to revisit that [...]

January is just around the corner…time for me to start thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Time to lace up the running shoes and hit the treadmill or the road once the weather warms up. I am looking forward to trying out the Pedometer PRO GPS+. It takes your GPS location and uses it to track [...]

I’ve mentioned in the past (a few times) about the need for an iPhone wrist strap. Here’s another app that makes me hope my kids never use it when they’ve got sweaty palms. Goodbye phone. Jump Jump is aptly named because that’s what you’re going to be doing. You play the game by listening to [...]

Body & Mind Connection is an app that’s designed to help you make the connection between what your mind thinks and your body does. Did I do a great job describing that or what? It has you rate yourself (on a daily basis) in several areas. Then you can look back and compare the ratings [...]

I’m a big fan of the Pandora app. I went jogging today and quickly discovered that I hadn’t transferred my running playlist back to my iPhone after I updated to the new OS. Grrr.  I really need my music to make it through a run. I decided to try Pandora and see how it held [...]
