A recent patent filed by Apple seems to portray that they will launch a fitness application that not only gives you a fitness routine perfected for your specific height, weight, and  other fitness preferences, but ties in to your digital lifestyle as well (aka your Mac, iPod, iPhone, etc.) Apparently the iPhone or iPod touch would act as a main part of the routine by showing you your schedule and overall acting as your ‘physical trainer.’ After answering tons of questions, filling out some personal and physical information, and giving some preferences to what activities you prefer, Apple’s program will dish out a specific schedule for your needs and show your plan and how you will reach your ‘physical goal.’ The filing also hints at some accessories, as well. It seems that Apple’s dab into the fitness market could be a good thing for everyone. Considering that the obesity rating in the US has risen drastically, and Apple tends to do very well in the markets that it joins, Apple’s look into exercising and fitness could raise awareness of peoples’ health and get everyone into shape.
