    So what is FitFu and do you want to get it?

    For this week’s Turn The Table Turkey Leo picked an app from iTunes called FitFu. He did a little demo of how he worked on this week’s episode, but here’s some background info from the company website. How can FitFu help me stay active? We're all different, which is why FitFu is designed to fit around you. Track your motion. Using the accelerometer on your iPhone or iPod Touch, FitFu gives you feedback to help you keep going and reach your goals. (This was pretty impressive. When Leo did some sit-ups on his ball, FitFu was able to count them!!) Celebrate progress with friends. Friends are the key to sticking to your goals, so we've made FitFu social; whether you want to cheer them on, thank them for help or just compare your progress. (Leo still Tweets his weight and now he’s tweeting his exercise progress!) Discover a new way to stay motivated. The more you and your friends are active, the higher your level and the higher your points. And points mean prizes; unlock new content as you progress. Want to try it? It’s just 99 cents! I don't mind paying the 99 cents, I'm just not sure I want that little character ordering me to do exercises and then telling my friends about it!
