Helping the Overweight Internet

Traineo Fitness & Weight Loss Community, a new mySpace alternative for people who want to maintain or get into shape. Traineo is based on accountability by a few trusted friends or family. For a more detailed review check out what Natali Del Conte has written.
The Internet, although having extremely high net-activity, normally means low physical activity, and static sitting in front of a computer screen.

Considering what I mentioned in my Web 2.0 running out of time article, a service like this, where its existence encourages activity away from the computer, might be a refreshing change. If you don’t already have a set exercising routine, it probably wouldn’t hurt to try it out. However, I would still encourage more traditional training with your friends or family, i.e. in a local gym, where you can actually receive proper training instructions by the gym-staff. Not just virtual reality, but reality.
