Amazon's Free App of the Day - Cardio Trainer Pro

written by: Nick Kosmides

Today's free app from Amazon happens to be the most expensive freebie every gifted to the masses.  At $9.99, Cardio Trainer Pro is not your typical exercise app.  With 40 different ways to get fit, using this means you want to put order in your exercise routine where there is chaos.  A chaotic routine isn't much of a routine at all.

After telling Cardio Trainer Pro what exercises you want to do and when, it will alert you when its time to get moving.  Beginning a workout will start the map and introduce you to all sorts of tools that don't exist on Google Maps normally.  The level of accuracy can be tailored to your GPS signal to get the best line drawn during your trek across whatever countryside you choose.

While setting up my biking routine for the week I noticed the ability to sync your treks to my Google Health account.  The pro version also includes audio and video feedback during your workout.  Set the feedback at different intervals and have it motivate you until you reach your time or distance goals.


While this is the priciest app available free to us, you must download the Cardio Trainer lite version before using the pro features.  So git to it and lets change the face of America one exercise at a time.
