In today's fast-paced world, our attention is pulled in all directions. Work, school, home, friends and family all clamor for our time.

One downside to this kind of lifestyle is that we don't have enough time for our fitness.

We know how important our fitness is. It shouldn't be taken for granted. But with so little time in our hectic schedules, what is the best fitness program for busy people? The answer: bodyweight training.

Here are some reasons why bodyweight training is ideal for busybodies.

It is a time-saver.
The beauty of bodyweight exercises is that you can perform them practically anywhere and anytime. You can do them at home before or after work. You don't have to go to the gym, or have any special equipment or gear. After doing some stretching, you can go at it right away. Just think of the minutes saved because you don't have to travel to work out. You can also exercise at the office during idle time, when it is impossible  to leave the office for a proper gym workout.

It is versatile.
With so many variations of each exercise your workout is sure to be far from routine. You can also adjust the intensity of your workout so that it matches your personal level of fitness - whether you have been doing this for years, or you're just starting out. All these without using any gym equipment.

It can give you a good workout.
You may not achieve the body of Sly Stallone with bodyweight exercises alone. But it will give you a great full body workout, nonetheless. It is the fitness program of choice of many fire fighters, police officers, elite fighters, and special forces commandos. It says a lot about bodyweight training if these tough guys rely on it for their strength.

Your fitness does not have to take a backseat. And you can save time doing a bodyweight workout because you don't have to commute to the gym. If you are a busy person, bodyweight training may just be the perfect fitness regimen for you.

How about that crazy cold weather, huh? With a majority of the country currently covered in snow, activities in places which do not normally get snowed in have ground to a halt.

The lethargy-inducing weather has gotten on the nerves on many people. It's just so easy to do what bears do best this time of the year - hibernate.

Do not give in to that temptation! Get up and work out!

In fact, now is the best time to get that beach body for the coming summer season.

I know many people will think this is a crazy idea. Summer may still be months away, but working out to get that beach body at this time of the year will get you a good head start over others who aren't doing anything at home.

You do not even have to get out of the house to exercise. Being fit does not mean that you have to drive to your fitness club, or brave the cold cycling or running. Even if you do not have fitness equipment at home, you can do bodyweight exercises. You don't have to let the gloomy weather get to you. Picture the warm summer sun touching your skin, and use this as a motivation for working out.

We here at FitDeck Mobile want to give users the best possible experience by making an extremely useful app using the FitDeck concept. And we are glad that all our efforts are paying off.

FitDeck Mobile has been steadily generating buzz in the past few months, thanks to numerous glowing reviews and mentions by notable publications like the New York Times and O,The Oprah Magazine.

Robin Monheit of O, The Oprah Magazine writes: "The simplicity of FitDeck Mobile is its charm. Of all the programs we tried, this was the easiest to use. And none of the exercises require special equipment, so you can do them anywhere—at home or on the road. If you're looking for ideas (or if you frequently forget specific moves), it's a handy tool to have on your phone."

Tech websites have also given FitDeck Mobile positive feedbacks. Top Ten Reviews describe the app as a "Gym Teacher On A BlackBerry."  Susan of BlackBerry Sync has given FitDeck Mobile V2.0 a rating of five stars out of five, and has made a follow-up review of the Pilates extension. She says:

Cons: I couldn’t find any except that just once it said I needed to purchase the Pilates, but after restarting the app, the Pilates loaded perfectly. It takes a minute to load but it’s worth the wait. This is fantastic for keeping that New Years resolution without having to join a gym or do a club membership.

Pros: More versatile and customizable than doing Pilates with a DVD. I’ve had the DVD versions, this is much easier to understand and is truly at your own pace. All the Pilates exercises are included, it’s convenient and it’s fun. Whether you do it alone or invite a friend, you have your own workout gym via BlackBerry.

Health-related websites have also weighed in on FitDeck Mobile. This Mama Cooks! On a Diet writes, "FitDeck Mobile helps you get fit and stay fit with a simple, effective workout that you can do anywhere you carry your mobile phone – at the office, on the road, at home, or at the beach. The FitDeck Mobile exercises require no weights or equipment, are designed for people of any fitness level, and will help you achieve your goals, save time (not trips back and forth to the gym), stay motivated and relieve stress."

Medicine 3.0 has listed FitDeck Mobile as one of the 25 essential BlackBerry apps for health and fitness, describing it as "A popular app that helps users get fit and stay fit." Medical News Today says "FitDeck® Mobile is the perfect product for anyone with a New Year's resolution to get in better shape."

We are grateful for these positive feedbacks, which only makes us push ourselves to give you the best fitness app on the market.

Have you experienced reading an update from a friend on his Facebook or Twitter account, telling the whole world about his weight struggles? This has become more and more common, thanks to the advent of social media.

In the past, losing weight was largely a private matter. Sure, you could tell your friends about it, but the people who would know about your journey would still be limited to a small number.

In this day and age, if you want everyone to know about your workout regimen, it is as easy as typing in a string of words in your computer or phone and clicking send. In less than a minute you can broadcast to the whole world about what your journey to better health.

For instance, Facebook has made it really easy to give an update to your friends about your weight issues. The same is true for Twitter, where you can tell your followers what you are up to in 140 characters or less. There is even a wifi-enabled weighing scale that automatically tweets your weight every time you step on it.

Moreover, you can discuss more extensively your fitness regimen through blogs. For instance, Hollywood WOD regularly informs his readers of his fitness regimen (he uses FitDeck, by the way). With blogs, you can also pour your heart out about your health concerns in detail, and your readers can share their insights as well.

The question is: does sharing your exercise regimen or health issues actually do some good?

There is no simple answer to this. But I will have to say that it has some benefits, especially for the one sharing.

The path to achieving your fitness goals can be a lonely road. Telling anyone of your exercise habits can be a driving force for you to move forward. The reason behind it is that you are more likely to go on if someone knows about your journey. In this way, sharing your workouts online can motivate you to continue.

This is even truer for someone who is struggling with his workouts. Simple words of encouragement by readers can go a long way for someone who is frustrated with the way his workout is going. It becomes a support group of sorts.

It can be also be helpful to the person reading. Knowing that someone out there is experiencing what the reader is also going through can encourage the him to start or continue his own path to fitness. The reader can also get some tips that can help him along the way. Thus, the benefits go both ways.

Sharing fitness regimen or your health concerns online may not be for everybody. But if it can help you, do it by all means.
