Use the Previous and Next arrows to locate the exercises to start from, and tap the Play button.

You can also suspend a recording by tapping the Stop button, which shows the exercise list. Notice the arrow on the left. Tap under any exercise name in the list to move the arrow to that exercise. Then tap Resume Workout to start the recording from that exercise.

To feel better, have more energy and live longer, look no further than regular, old-fashioned, sweat-inducing exercise. By introducing a moderate amount of exercise into your daily life, you can significantly improve your overall health, well-being and quality of life. The health benefits of exercise can be achieved by virtually everyone, regardless of age, sex, race or physical ability. The merits of exercise - ranging from preventing chronic health conditions to boosting your confidence - are hard to ignore: regular physical activity helps extend life and improve its quality.

VidaOne® MySportTraining® for iPhone is the most complete app for iPhone and iPod Touch designed to track and improve your health & fitness, and to motivate you to exercise to achieve a healthy lifestyle, at a fraction of the cost of some sports equipment or gym membership

Like the Android, Windows Mobile and Palm OS versions, it fully synchronizes with VidaOne Diet & Fitness 3 for Windows 7, Vista and XP via Wi-Fi. Any information you enter in MySportTraining for iPhone synchronizes with your PC and vice-versa, including your routes recorded with your iPhone or downloaded from a supported Garmin device on your PC.

In some cases, it is more convenient to enter data using a PC keyboard, such as journal notes. Or if your iPhone or iPod Touch is damaged, lost or stolen, or if you switch to another mobile device, the synchronization brings back your valuable data on your new phone. Synchronization is a must when you record information about yourself.

Whereas some other software synchronization is basically one-way (e.g. SyncDocs where a complete file/database crushes the other, discarding some of the latest data you entered) , VidaOne synchronization reconciles each piece of information, ensuring that your most recent data are merged together, as you expect it.

All is needed is a Wi-Fi connection (along possible setting adjustments to your PC's firewall to let the connection go through as it is with any software that requires network access).

Due to some iPhone technical characteristics, 3rd-party applications such as MySportTraining cannot synchronize via iTunes, so Wi-Fi is the only option to connect to a computer on a local network such as a home network.  Also, 3rd-party applications cannot share data among themselves, so the data entered in MySportTraining cannot be shared with MyPersonalDiet and vice-versa. Fortunately, the synchronization with VidaOne Diet & Fitness allows the same data to be replicated in both applications.

About iTunes backups: you do not need VidaOne Diet & Fitness to make iTunes backup of your VidaOne apps and data on your iPhone. iTunes will automatically backup all your applications and their data independently of using VidaOne Diet & Fitness or not. It should nonetheless noted that some customers have notified us that iTunes failed to properly restore backups but got all their VidaOne data back by restoring them from VidaOne Diet & Fitness.

MySportTraining lets you record the route of your outdoor workout while you are doing it. Not only does it show you the actual location, speed and pace, you can also view at any time the route you've followed and where you are on Google Maps.

You can also listen to your favorite music while recording your route, directly from MySportTraining.

While recording, you can add laps in various ways. You can enter a lap manually (by tapping a Lap button), or you can set an auto-lap by distance (e.g. every 5 mi/km) or by position (e.g. every time you past nearby a specific position). Laps data is then stored with the workout's route information.

Once the workout is completed and saved, you can later review the route, and email it to some friend as a GPX file. And if you are using VidaOne Diet & Fitness, the route will also be available on your PC, where you can review it, email it or print it.

Additionally, if you are using a supported Garmin device with VidaOne Diet & Fitness, the recorded maps can also be viewed from MySportTraining.

No more guesswork, no need for an expensive coach.

Let the Live Recorder guide you throughout your workouts while you exercise. It shows you which exercise to do, which set, how many reps, what weight, how long to rest, using clearly-readable timers. You can pause the recording, make on-the-fly changes, restart or skip exercises (even chart them on-the-spot), or simply follow the workout from begin to end.

This key feature helps you achieve powerful workouts in short periods of time that you can fit in your tight schedule and that provide maximum results. And you can listen to your music while recording your workouts!
