Customer Review: For health and fitness, this is a great tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased my Vivonic Fitness Planner about a month ago. I have found it a great tool to keep up with fitness activities, food intake and personal metrics like how many hours of sleep I get each night or my weight. I also love the pedometer and stopwatch and that it automatically updates my fitness records. I am quite impressed with the extensive food and exercise databases. I have found even the most obscure foods in the database - stuff like dry roasted soynuts or oatmeal maple flavored. I found myself wishing for a way to find a particular food in the database because at times I had difficulty knowing under what category to look. Then I got an e-mail this week that Vivonic has updated the software to add a search tool for the food database - they read my mind! I just downloaded the upgrade today, FOR FREE!
If you like to keep up with your workouts or monitor your food intake (calories, fat, protein, carbs, sodium, sugar) this handheld fitness planner for you. I know last year when I was on a weight loss program, the planner would have been an invaluable tool. And a good motivator, too, because it gives you feedback on your food and exercise goals
The last thing I'll mention is that I am not really into "gadgets" or computers, electronics, etc. but I have found the planner so easy to use - you do not have to be a computer guru to get the planner working and learn how to use it. The Vivonic Fitness Planner really is a good product and I can highly recommend it.
Description of Vivonic Fitness Planner Mini Handheld
Like a personal trainer in a box, the Vivonic Fitness Planner helps you keep track of your fitness goals, workouts, and eating habits. The system works by first using Vivonic fitness software on your PC to assess your needs and goals through a series of in-depth questions. With information about your preferences, schedule, regular activities, current exercise regimen, and medical issues, you can then determine your fitness goals and how long you want the plan to last. The Vivonic software then recommends a personalized workout with computer animations to help you understand unfamiliar exercises. Download your plan from your PC to the Vivonic Fitness Planner, and you're ready to go.The Fitness Planner allows you to access exercise and calorie tracking programs through the touch screen interface. It tracks your sets, repetitions, weights, and even seat settings (for machine-based exercises). You can also easily add your own foods into the database and view nutritional details of what you've eaten. The planner gives you weekly totals of calories consumed, grams of fat, sodium, and cholesterol. The built-in pedometer tracks your walking or running miles.
The Fitness Planner is designed for sports use with a rubber-wrapped sports grip and a belt clip. The unit runs on two AA batteries (not included) and comes with a belt clip, Vivonic PC software on CD-ROM, stylus, a serial cable connector, and a manual.
