The Cross Trainer

Hello and Welcome to the Cross Trainer.  This program was designed to help people like myself achieve and maintain fitness in their daily lives.  I know from personal experience that very few people can properly manage their fitness programs, setting goals and being able to stick to them.  As a matter of fact, we tend to push ourselves too hard and thus enter a over-trained state.  Once we have achieved this state the dust gathers quickly around our equipment and we exercise our thumbs vigorously with the remote.  This is not true of all athletes but alas, the majority does prevail...

Thus the Cross Trainer, which allows you to maintain, track and set goals for Nutrition, Weight Lifting and Aerobic Exercise.  The Cross Trainer allows you to maintain a personal fitness record, diary or 'Daily Log'.  The Cross Trainer will also create and schedule Workouts designed for your level and sport.  The Cross Trainer will set goals for each workout and will allow you to print your workout before going to the gym.  The Cross Trainer allows you to create as many users as you like and gives you many ways to organize and view your workouts, exercises and nutrition.  A 5000+ foods database will allow you to create meals and pick from a wide variety of food options.   Each user can be assigned a password so that your records are protected.

I hope you find the Cross Trainer to be a great fitness aid, and if you have any suggestions or comments we'd like to hear from you.

Thank you --->   Greg Brady      Innovative Logic
