Repetitions
- I like "Repetitions" because it is a very simple, barebones app for doing repetitive exercises. I just enter the number of sets, number of repetitions, length of each repetition, and off I go. I can also organise my exercises into groups, which is especially useful for the exercises I like the least and have a tendency to "forget". It might be too simple for some exercises, but there is a link on the support page to a site where users can suggest and vote on new features, so if it doesn't quite meet your needs you can at least tell the developer about it.

Favorite Apps
- I use the actual fit deck. 55 ways to get it done. I just randomly pick a card. After 10 or so I am baked !

Nike +
- I love the free Nike+ workout that came factory installed on my iTouch. I also bought the Nike+ shoes with the sensor. Although the program was originally designed for running, it works great for walking and is extremely motivating. The first time I used it, I was hooked. I was only walking 8 houses to my daughters' house and ended up walking over a mile around the neighborhood. Without music, exercise is a huge bore for me, but with Nike+ I hear the music I like and I'm motivated by the female voice that breaks in every now and then with motivating tips. The shoes have also turned out to be the best I've worn in many years because the Achilles tendon problem that has caused pain daily for several years has significantly subsided. IMO it's definitely worth spending the money on getting the shoes, or at least the sensor you can wear without the shoes.
