Using your iPhone, iPad or any Device while working out

It’s really amazing to think how times have changed.  Gone are the days of strapping a small TV to your belt to listen to music while working out.  While some may think of that as the good old days, I prefer my brand new iPhone 6.  Fitness apps built right in.  When I go to my local Planet Fitness, I can do everything from a custom workout guided by my iPhone to watching the Giants game on my iPhone because the guy next to me is watching a Sunday afternoon political program on TV number 7 (I would rather watch … Read more
