There is a plethora of diet and training planning apps available, but let’s be honest, who really uses them?

Fortunately we live in an area with four seasons. Unfortunately, there’s so much variability in weather here that you need inside options. Some mornings it rains, some afternoons the humidity is so high you can hardly breathe, sometimes a cold wind blows nonstop for weeks at a time without giving any snow. Our winters are …
