Quick Pitch: Stay healthy and fit with Skimble. Track 30+ sports and share on Facebook & Twitter. Compete on leaderboards and achieve Personal Bests
Genius Idea: Those with a predilection for physical activity tend to take pride in their sporting or fitness accomplishments. Skimple caters to this audience and offers a web and mobile experience designed for the fitness enthusiast who wants to thoroughly track and share their sports, gym or outdoorsy activities.
Skimble's iPhone, iPad and newly released Android apps provide you with easy and mobile ways to accurately track activities such as cardio, weights, yoga, pilates, kickball, tennis and basketball. As you record your activities, the service will shower you with points -- there's even a leaderboard -- and congratulate you on the goals you achieve.
Skimble doesn't skip over the important specifics that distinguish each and every workout. When it comes to yoga, for instance, the apps let you track full yoga sessions or granularly specify the individual yoga poses you completed. You can typically define the type, style and difficulty level for each activity you complete as well. The yoga option, for example, includes a menu of various yoga styles and lets you specify whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced yogi.
Skimble is also designed to be social in nature, so you can share workouts and accomplishments with friends via Facebook or Twitter, check out what fitness activities your Skimble friends have completed and see what others nearby are up to.
Should you be so enthusiastic about your regimen that ads get in the way of your Skimble experience, you can pay to remove them. The $24.99 per year pro plan also includes an offline tracking mode, progress charts and a fancy pro sash for your profile.
Skimble is the complete package for activity-loving technophiles. Try it out and let us know what you think.
