As some of you may recall, a few weeks back Google offered up a bunch of apps at 49¢ each. One of those apps that really caught my eye was Endomondo Pro. In a nutchell, Endomondo is an app that tracks your fitness, no matter what activity you are doing. Whether you’ re a walker, biker, runner or whatever this app will be invaluable to you.
Features include the ability to track your distance, duration, avg. speed, avg. pace, and calories. And, when done, what better way to share your successful workouts than with your Facebook friends! I love this nifty option as I can share with a click of the button or have it automatically done each time.
Personally, I don’t do the auto share because I stop and restart sometimes or take a few moments to get going.
Although available as a free app, I love the Pro option of challenging myself to beat the last time or distance. Along those lines, the free version lets you challenge friends on Endomondo and/or give real-time pep talks! If you tie to Facebook, your workouts will go to your news feed provided by Endomondo. As a side note, going to their website and setting up an optional profile is very easy. What’s more, Endomondo also makes it a breeze to do so through the app itself.
Currently, the Pro version is now $3.99 in the market, the free version of Endomondo lets you use a bunch of the same features without spending any cash. As a friendly recap, here’s a look at the details for both editions of Endomondo.

What apps are you using to get into shape or to stay more active? I’d love to hear about them in the comments below.
I enjoy sharing my thoughts and opinions on android. My goal is to be just one of the many female voices out there and to help other women find theirs. When I'm not helping to sound the drum for AndroidGals, I'm hanging out with my 8 year old son Alexander. He dreams of one day having an Android phone like his mommy and daddy (Scott Webster, Founder of AndroidGuys.) I believe the Android platform is truly amazing and I LOVE the openness. I also love me some football and hanging out with Mr. Webster whenever possible. OH and I can't forget my little girl Sassy, she may have 4 legs but she loves her mommy!
