The body tracker logo identifies the open group of people who would use this application and an idealistic vision of how the “fitBody” looks

With Body Tracker and the fitBody profile system I measured and tracked my weekly exercise regime and successfully lost over 17KG in a six month period. I found that this was easy and straightforward, and for this reason I decided to release the method as an application.
