Open Thread: The "43 Folders" of health and fitness sites?
Merlin Mann | Feb 8 2006
Over the last six months or so, I've gotten a lot of requests via email from people looking for (yes, thanks, more than one person called it this) "the 43 Folders of (health|exercise|fitness) sites." Naturally I set my Google fu in motion, fully expecting to turn up dozens of excellent sites on how to stay motivated about workouts, how to eat properly, and how to psych (or "hack," if you prefer) yourself into straightening out, losing weight, and getting that fat ass in motion. Funny thing: I came up pretty thin -- and not in that good, healthy, slender kind of thin way. In at least three sittings of searching over the past few months, I just did not turn up more than a couple of independent sites that really blew me away. Really surprising, and maybe I was just looking in the wrong places. Like under a 12-pack of beer and a rib roast. BUT. I'm sure they're out there, and I can't think of smarter people to ask than you, so you tell me: what's your favorite website or blog about getting healthy? What are your favorite apps for tracking progress and watching a diet? Who's got the best "health hacks?" Post your faves in comments and help your geeky friends get as theoretically fit as they are theoretically organized. 95 Comments

I find the Motivation to Move podcast (http://www.motivationtomove.com/) to be a great source of motivation in both diet and excercise. While it took me some time to become accustomed to listening to Scott Smith, since I'm not used to the whole motivational coach thing, I find his tips (some could be considered life hacks) useful and, better than anything else, his voice alone now guilts me into moving ASAP. I also found Getting Skinny the Smart Way, a book now out of print, to be amazing. It's straightforward approach to diet made me finally understand what most everyone else already understands, you need to have a deficit of calories to lose weight, without starving yourself. If you can find this book and you're serious about changing you LIFESTYLE, and not just your food intake, I can't recommend it highly enough. » POSTED IN:
