I would obviously still do the speed bag to build up better control, but for strict muscle building and cardio, that looks like it would work well ---

Not sure if it has been recommended, but don’t really feel like digging through 55 pages for it. Is there a recommended iOS app for Calorie and exercise tracking, doesn’t have to be free. I have been doing weight watcher but I think i want to shift to a more calorie in/out driven diet with my workout routine. Bonus points if the iOS app allows me to plugin in recipes and determine nutritional information. ---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ---------- If you want to try something different, this was a blast and I was sweating my ass off after it.

I have been doing weight watcher but I think i want to shift to a more calorie in/out driven diet with my workout routine. I haven’t really found any great ones, but DailyBurn works ok for nutrition tracking and iFitness works ok for exercises. ---

Thankfully my gym wasn’t any more crowded. The gym at RIT was a little more crowded but I have definitely seen it worse like at the beginning of the quarter. Yes, I go to the gym twice a day, lol. Once during lunch for some cardio then lifting with my buddy at night. ---
