Earlier today I was giving some looks to newer health and fitness-related websites and I came across Flaab.com. Here’s how Flaab works (from Flaab’s ‘about’ page):

So here’s the deal: You lay down a wad of cash, you say how many pounds you want to lose and the date by which you will lose them. Then if you don’t drop the pounds, the money goes to your worst enemy. Of course, if you do lose the weight, you get your money back. And the most delicious part? Whichever of your friends catch you on your deadline day will get a portion of your $$$ if you don’t reach your goal.

Now, isn’t that something? Wager your cash that your lazy butt will shed the sag, or else your out some fat cash… Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? I’m willing to bet that Flaab will stir up some successful testimonials. Or hate mail from the poor souls who lose their week’s paycheck…

Go try Flaab out yourself!

A few days ago, I happened to stumble upon a neat online service for BlackBerry and Smartphone users. Best of all, it pertains to fitness! It’s called Gym Technik and it’s this rad service that tracks your workout statistics and routines. It also features a huge exercise database in case you’ve forgotten how to perform something or if you’re looking to change things up! Here’s the excerpt from the official Gym Technik website:
