Favorite Fitness Sites

Here are some of my favorite fitness sites. You may find me posting on these sites' webboards and discussions - look for lisa@lisafitness.com, lisa@mercers.com, Lisamer, Lisamarie, or aerobigal - they're all me! But be sure to check out my own Message Boards too, right here at LisaFitness.

Asimba.com has information on all sorts of sports and fitness. You can sign up for a personal fitness program, log your health and fitness activities, get a variety of e-mail lists and workout reminders. You even can hook your fitness log into your Palm PDA using Avantgo - and log your workouts at the gym on your Palm. Next time you hotsync, it's on your private web log. Don't forget LisaFitness-to-go on your Palm too, if you're setting up Avantgo.

I've checked out NetSweat - another great Fitness site. They've got a Fitness Instructor FAQ,you may want to read if you're considering becoming an instructor. They've re-aimed their site, so there isn't as much general fitness iinfo as before, but it's still good.

Another good site is WebAerobics. They offer free aerobics-related webpages for qualified aerobics instructors and physical trainers, and an Aerobics WebRing. You can find instructors and trainers by region.

Turnstep.com has good resources and choreography for instructors.

My favorite ski boards are Paula's Ski Lovers for a very welcoming, virtual ski lodge feeling, and EpicSki.com for its very active and specialized Barking Bear Forums. Includes a forum just for Ski Instruction-related discussions, between serious ski students and many PSIA-certified instructors.

Lots of good outdoor adventure sports links at MountainZone. Skiing, boarding, hiking, climbing, mountain biking, adventure.

Sometimes "fitness" is more than just physical health - if you're a woman in crisis, in recovery, or just in need of inspiration, visit my friend Mary's Women's Christian Outreach recovery and support organization - welcome to all ages and faiths.

I'm often at Phys - the Fitness and Lifestyle site run by the Conde-Nast family of magazines, including Self.

Check out iVillage - the Women's Network ; especially their "Gym Rats" board! I've also mentioned their pregnancy-related boards and resources at my Pregnancy Resources page.

Drop me a line if you have a suggestion, or if you have a site you'd like me to link with. Enjoy exploring Fitness on the Web!
