Hello All,

We wanted to let our users know that we have released the latest update for the JEFIT Pro Workout Application, version 4.3.0530. This update has included some major changes such as a redesigned UI, improved user experiences, new additional features and options, improved sync functionality, and other new functions.

1.) Redesigned UI - We have redesigned the UI in a way to save on battery life for users who leave the screen turned on during their workouts and to also give a fresh new outlook on the appearance of our application.

2.) Improved User Experience - One of the things we wanted to focus on was making it easier to set up a JEFIT Profile for new users and to navigate throughout the application. The most important thing when using the JEFIT Workout Application is user experience and we wanted to make sure that users get the full JEFIT experience but in a clear and concise manner.

3.) Added Option to turn off animation autoplay - For some users, many just want to jump right into their workouts and not be distracted or have battery life wasted by the automated animations. We have enabled the ability for users to be able to turn of the animation autoplay to conserve battery life and focus mainly on their workouts and recording data.

4.) Added option to create routine based on Day of Week or Numerical (i.e Day 1, Day 2, etc..) - For this update we have also included the ability to list your days of the week in your routine from rather being Sunday-Saturday, to listing your routine through numerical order such as Day 1, Day 2 and so forth. You can choose which day of your week will be the start of your routine and workout.

5.) Ability to edit custom exercises - We have enabled JEFIT Users to be able to

6.) Improve Sync Performance - Lately we have noticed a lack of performance in our synchronization functionality and in this update we have improved our synchronization function with the JEFIT Server to allow for faster transfer of data without any hiccups or mishaps with data being sent/received.

7.) Various Options for Weight/Rep/Set Recording - Also in this update we have included new options to record your data depending on the type of workout that you are performing such as either recording weight/reps, reps only, cardio details including a new calorie option/distance/speed/lap or rep/ duration and even integration with our interval/stop watch functionality that will automatically fill in the data for you.

Whats Next

Completion of new My-JEFIT Pages - While working on this past update we have also working on the new My-JEFIT pages. These pages have been in development for the past month and are near completion, we are very excited to have these new features fully completed and released for the usage by you, the JEFIT Community and to use in unison with your applications. Many of the new features and functionalities that we have included in this latest update will be included in the website.

Next iPhone/iOS Update - The next iPhone/iOS update is also being developed at this time which we are planning on a release within the next upcoming weeks. These updates for Pro and Free users will include many of the new features and functionalities from this last Android update, features that are currently aren’t available and a few new functionalities.

Revamped Exercise Database for next Android/iPhone Update - Also during this time we have been taking pictures for the new JEFIT Exercise Database which now we currently have over 1300 exercises, stretches, new equipment types, and workouts for users to choose from and add into their routines. These images will be high definition pictures rather than the drawn animations that we are currently using at the moment. We feel that these images will help enhance the usage of the application, help users clearly see the exercises being performed and provide better visualization during workouts.

More information will be available as we get near the releases for each of these new functions, programs and features added into the website and application.

We thank you all for your support, time and patience as this update has been in development for some time along with the website work that has been going on, revamping of the exercise database and other new features that we are finishing up to release for all of you, the JEFIT Community and Members.

-JEFIT Team

Hello All,

We apologize for the lack of updates for the lack of updates for the past few weeks as we here at the JEFIT Office have been working on multiple projects that we are planning on releasing within the next upcoming weeks. Our team has been split upon focusing upon these projects as there is a significant amount of work that needs to be done and we are extremely excited to get everything finalized and released for you, the JEFIT Community and Members.

In a previous post we had discussed the latest functions and new features for the JEFIT Website and Application and here are the ones that are near completion and getting prepared for upcoming releases.

JEFIT Free and Pro Android Update

- For the past few weeks we have been working on the latest Android Update for our Pro and Free users that will greatly enhance upon the cardio tracking log system but also new forms of recording your weight/rep data.

As many of you have noticed our cardio system is indeed very basic and has been requested for an overhaul for some time now so we are changing things up to allow users to enter in valuable information, data and to utilize the interval timer/stopwatch functionalities that we included in the previous Android Update.

There will also be a few bug fixes that will be included into this update as well from a few .bak files that users have been sending to us.

JEFIT Free and Pro iPhone/iOS Update

- After the release of the Android update we will be working upon the next iPhone/iOS update that will feature these new features that we are introducing along with some bug fixes and changes. As we progress on this update there will be more information available for our users to let you know what will be included and when this update will be released.

We would like to thank all of you for your reviews of JEFIT Free and the newly released JEFIT Pro for the iPhone and iOS, your reviews and feedback are greatly appreciated and gives us insight on what we need to further improve on our applications.

JEFIT My-JEFIT Page Updates

- For the past month we have been also diligently working on a major overhaul on the My-JEFIT pages that are going to include new features, status posting, viewing your friends status postings, ease of viewing your fitness statistics/training logs and progress photos/albums, separate section for comments and messages, in profile page to create blog/logs as many on the website have been doing in our forums as well as the simplistic viewing of your latest forum posts/threads and groups that you have joined on.

We wanted to make the My-JEFIT Profile pages a much cleaner, simple and organized since these are the most viewed pages on the website themselves along with giving our users more of a reason to come back to their profile pages, update their statistics, create blog postings and logs and interacting with your fellow JEFIT Members.

JEFIT Exercise Database Major Update

- As stated before we are going to be making major changes to the JEFIT Exercise Database as we have just added a significant amount of workouts to our database, expanding the number of exercises to well over 1000 with more machines, stretches, yoga poses, warm-ups and equipment based for users to add into their routines. With these new exercises that we have added into our database, we are including new images for the previous images that we have in our current database.

We will continue to add more exercises into our database for future updates and expand on our current list that we already have. Also we are hoping to bring videos into our database as well to further enhance the usage and functionality of our application, website and to assist users in understand how to correctly perform these exercises to see the best results possible.

We would also like to thank Rapid Fitness, Raleigh, North Carolina’s fitness connection for allowing us to come into their facility and take the new images for our exercise database and for those who use JEFIT and live in the Raleigh area looking for a premier gym, check out and give Rapid Fitness a try.

Hello JEFIT Members, Fans and the Community,

We have released a new bug fix update for our Android Free JEFIT Workout Application.

This update will help resolve the synchronization errors that many of our free version users have been experiencing since the last JEFIT Update. Pro users are in the clear though and are not affected by this bug. So make sure that you head over to the Android Market or update your JEFIT Free Android Application to the latest version, 3.4.0320 and the synchronization bug should be completely taken care of and resolved.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused for our Free Version users.

- JEFIT Support Team

Hello JEFIT Members, Fans and the Community,

We have released a new update for our Android Applications, both Free and Pro Versions, 4.3.0312 and 3.4.0312. This update will include redesigned User Interfaces, for Pro Users a Re-Designed Landscape Interface, performance improvements, bug fixes, usability improvements, merging the Exercise Images and Application together into one application and other features.

What’s New in this Update :

1.) Improve UI Design – With the latest improvements and enhancements made to the JEFIT iPhone and iPhone Pro Applications, we have made UI changes and enhancements to our JEFIT Applications especially Pro with the Re-Designed Exercise Pages, Weight and Rep Recording Pages and so forth. We continue to strive and push to make our application much more user friendly and graphically appealing for you the JEFIT User.

New Weight/Rep Recording Page

Old Weight/Rep Recording Page

New Resting Page

Old Resting Page

2.) Improve UI Design – Landscape Mode (Pro Users) – For our Pro Users, we have redesigned and improved the layout of our Landscape Mode feature, taking advantage more of the space as the screen flips, making the page feel much more organized and better in terms of usability.

3.) Reduce Exercise Image Size – As with the changes made to the iPhone Applications, we have also taken the steps with the Android Applications to reduce the image sizes that we currently have for our animations making them perform better alongside the application with the reduced file sizes.

4.) Removed Animation Plug-In and Merged Application as a whole - With the reducing of the Animation File Size, we have also removed our Animation Plug-In / Installer and merged all of the animations into the application. So now the animations will be stored within the application themselves and require no installation pack or plug-in to view the animations, from the instant the application is installed the animations/exercises images will be right in the app.

5.) Improved Usability – To improve usability we have improved the layouts on many of our pages with the Re-Designed UI’s but also fixed many issues in terms of memory leaking and functioning with various Android Devices

6.) Performance Improvements and Enhancements - As the fixes and changes have been made to improve usability, these changes have also been used to improve the performance of the JEFIT Application with all Android Devices making the application run smoother, faster and without hiccups.

7.) Fixed Security Issue with Synchronization

8.) Various Bug Fixes and Improvements - We received various .bak files from our JEFIT Users, looked through the entire Technical Support and Bug Issues Threads on the JEFIT Forums along with our Facebook and Twitter pages to help fix many of the bug issues that were plaguing the usability of the JEFIT Workout Application. Our main focus during this update was to fix these bugs and improve the functionality of our application and make sure that these bugs would not inhibit the usability of the app for our users. So for those who have submitted these threads, the .bak files to our support email and posting on our Social Media sites, we thank you as this has helped us solve many of the bug fixes that needed to be made.

Additional minor bug fixed:
a.) “keep screen on” bug.
b.) count down timer bug

Hello JEFIT Members, Fans and the Community,

So look forward to more information and posts regarding the released of the next Android Update.

(We don’t want to give away all details but a significant amount of work going on and in store)

Exercise of the Week -

- Squats : Squats are a staple in weight lifting, exercising and bodybuilding as it requires the use of all muscles, putting major emphasis on the upper legs, glutes, back and the core. With this compound exercise (Full body), squats are used to help build lean muscle in the legs and glutes, enhance the strength in the lower body through the bones and ligaments. Add the squats to your JEFIT Workout Routines to boost and gain more leg and body strength as well as increasing the growing of lean muscle mass.

Routine of the Week –

- HIML – 4 Maximum Muscle Building : This routine is currently one of our most popular routines on the JEFIT Database from the Amount of downloads, views and ratings. It is a 4 week training routine that splits various weeks into high intensity, low intensity, medium and helping an individual strengthen their muscles, gain endurance and stamina and of course building muscle.

“The HIML-4 muscle building system utilizes 4 different styles of training, rotated over a 4 week (or 6 day cycle) period.
Week 1 – Heavy week, focusing on 5-7 rep sets and the use of compound exercises.
Week 2 – Intensity week, focusing on the use of slow negatives, training to failure, pre-exhaust and drop sets.
Week 3 – Medium week, focusing on the 10 to 12 rep range with a mix of compound exercises and machines.
Week 4 – Light week, focusing on 15 to 20 rep sets and the use of isolation exercises”

Hello JEFIT Members, Supports, Users and Everyone,

We are very please to announce the release of the JEFIT Pro iPhone/iOS Workout and Bodybuilding Application!!! For our iPhone and iOS users who are currently using JEFIT Free for their workouts, you are now able to download the Pro Version of the JEFIT Workout Application which offers more features and functions compared to JEFIT Free, a redesigned UI along with redesigned pages, more options to track your logs and statistics and much more. As our Android Pro Users know and understand, JEFIT Pro is for those who want more out of the JEFIT Workout Application and track their information further than on the Free Version of JEFIT. Such tools are the One Repetition (1RM) Maximum Chart, the Total Volume Chart, Training Logs for Individual Exercises, Progress Bar for each Exercise, the Ability to Set Goals for each exercise and more.

1.) Redesigned UI – One of the major changes we have made with this new version of JEFIT Pro that many of you will notice is the redesigned UI on many of our pages from the Exercise Detail Page, the Weight / Rep and Set Recording Page, Resting Timer Page, and many others. We wanted to give a revamped look to many of our pages especially with this latest release of our newest Pro Version on the iPhone. Compared to the free version on the iPhone and iOS, you will without a doubt notice a change; a much more organized and professional feel to this layout of our pages thus making it easier to access your total volume and one repetition maximum charts, being able to view current logs and previous logs easier and having your information and tools easily accessible.

Main Menu

Exercise Page

Weight / Rep / Set Recorder

Resting Timer

Setting Goals

Statistics Page

Benchmark Exercises

Total Volume

One Repetition Maximum

2.) 1RM Progress Chart for All Exercises - 1RM is the maximum amount of weight that one can lift for a given exercise for one repetition. There are those who like to see how much weight they can lift for one repetition and this feature on the JEFIT Workout Application calculates from the previous logs you have recorded, what the maximum amount of weight that you can accomplish for one repetition. This feature provides motivation and a form of game, pushing you to break past your limits and achieve your one repetition maximum, not stopping there but making yourself achieve and reach new 1RM’s.

3.) Total Volume Chart for All Exercises - The Vol C is the weight times reps times set, allowing you to view a total of how much weight that you have lifted during the given exercise performed. For example if you lift 50 pounds 8 times and do 3 sets that would be 1200 total pounds which would be the Vol C.

4.) Ability to Set Goals – With the ability to add goals to each exercise, this can help you keep track of how much you are lifting and with the progress you are making, how much closer you are to achieving your goal for your 1RM. In the “Exercise, Resting Timer, and Statistics” Pages you will notice that there is a blue bar underneath the exercise information, this is your progress bar for how well you are doing towards your goal. As soon as that bar is filled, you have achieved your goal for that exercise! Thus you of course will want to push yourself further and set a new goal for your 1RM. Besides setting goals for exercises and your 1RM, you can set a goal that you would like to reach for your body statistics such as your weight, chest size, total amount of body fat and so forth. This gives you the motivation to keep pushing towards reaching your goals of either weight loss or gain, putting on more mass in your chest and arms and so forth.

5.) Progress Bar for All Exercises - As stated in #4 the progress bar is the blue bar underneath the exercise in the Exercise page, located right under the resting timer and in your statistics page which shows the progress towards your goal set for achieving a new 1RM.

6.) Training Logs for Individual Exercises - Users are now able to view individual training logs for each exercise in the JEFIT Exercise Database along with Custom Exercises. So for those who would like to view their progress for each exercise performed in their routine, we have now enabled this option so you can view logs from previous days workouts of that exercise and see how well you have been progressing, giving you the option to set new goals or push yourself to change the amount of weight, sets and reps that you perform for that given exercise.

7.) Ability to do Extra Sets without Modifying Default Sets

8.) Easier to Edit Logs while Recording

9.) Internal Time Stopwatch Mode – Just as in the Android Pro Version, when opening up the Weight/Rep Recording page, users will instantly notice the new timer image on the right hand panel where it lists the current set of the exercise being performed. Clicking this button will initiate the new Countdown Timer function that will appear on the top of the page allowing the user to start a countdown of how long they would like to perform an exercise for. The timer is automatically set to 60 seconds but by clicking the text field, the user can set the timer to the desired countdown they would like for their exercise.

10.) Internal Timer Countdown Mode – By clicking the Stop Watch button once again, you will initiate the Stop Watch Function which the application will generate a stop watch feature beginning from Zero and counting up to when you would like the timer to start. This is great for users who would like to see how many repetitions of a certain exercise they can complete before getting exhausted or how long it would take them to complete a certain amount of sets for an exercise. Rather than having to open up a separate stop watch application, the weight/rep recording page contains this function for ease of use and access for those who like to complete their exercises under a timer.

11.) Ads Free – Last but not least this version of the JEFIT Workout Application is ads free, just like the Pro Version on the Android Device. As we have stated before with the JEFIT Free Workout Application on the iPhone, the ads free feature was only for a limited time, thus we will be making the transition soon where JEFIT Free will have ads and JEFIT Pro will be completely ads free.

We hope that all of you enjoy JEFIT Pro for the iPhone and iOS Devices. We are very excited about this release as this means we can now focus upon new updates, features and functions for both platforms and all 4 versions of the JEFIT Workout Application that we currently have, as development for this version of the application did indeed take some time but in the long run was well worth the effort and are very pleased on the outcome of this release.

Next : Android Update - Up next on the agenda is working on a brand new update for our Android Pro and Free users consisted of new features and functionality and tending to the .bak files that our users have sent to us to help fix a few bug issues. We wanted our Android Users to know that we have not forgotten about you guys at all but we have been using all of our development team to finish up the progress on JEFIT Pro and the JEFIT Free Updates on the iPhone and iOS devices and now moving back over to the Android Device to implement some new features and fix up some bugs. We appreciate your support, time and patience as we worked on the iPhone Pro Version and appreciate your understanding during this time.

Hello All,

We just wanted to make a quick post noting that an update has been released for the JEFIT iPhone/iOS 3.41 version fixing the bug that was plaguing listening to music while resting timer was counting down as well as reducing the size of the application from 25MB to around 19.7MB thus improving functionality and allowing those who cannot connect to WiFi to be able to download the JEFIT iPhone/iOS application through their data services.

1.) Bug Fix – Resting Timer Will No Longer Stop Music - With the last update there was an issue with users listening to music and having their resting countdown timer stopping their music as soon as the timer was up. We fixed this issue so now when you have your JEFIT Application open and are listening to either your iPod/iTunes, Pandora or Spotify music, the countdown timer will not stop the song that is currently playing. This was becoming a real pain for many of our users as you would have to go back after each 60 second resting timer and then turn your music back on, tedious and quite an annoyance.

2.) Reduced App Size – Another thing we were able to quickly do which is important to our iPhone/iOS users is that we reduced the size of the JEFIT iPhone/iOS Application from 25MB to around 19.7MB thus improving the functionality of the program with faster loading pages and more importantly this allows for our users to download the application who cannot connect to WiFi. The one thing about applications and downloading them from the App Store is that if an app is over 20MB it requires a user to connect to WiFi to be able to download the application, thus our application fell underneath this issue as users who did not have WiFi were not able to download our application. So now as the application is currently 19.7MB, all users can download and use the JEFIT Workout Application without needing a WiFi Connection and can use their data plans to attain our workout application!

Head on over to the iPhone and iTunes App Store NOW to pick up your copy of the JEFIT iPhone/iOS Workout Bodybuilding App!

- We are hoping and planning on a tentative finishing of the JEFIT iPhone/iOS Pro Workout Application this Friday so that we are able to turn it into the iTunes App Store for a hopeful release early next week, the development team has been hard at work finishing the application up, testing for bugs and making sure that it is fully functional so that our users will have this application in their hands before they know it and meets up to the JEFIT Standards.

- As soon as the development is complete for the JEFIT iPhone/iOS Application were are right away moving onto the Android Pro and Free Applications to tend to bug fixes and new features/functions for our Android Users, we have been pulling together all .bak files and are getting them together so that we will be able to finish the updates for the Android Version quickly and efficiently so those who are sending in their .bak files or emails to support@jefit.com, we truly appreciate it. We are doing our best to make replies to all users who are having issues with our Android App and we want to let you know we have not forgotten you or abandoned you at all, we are just finishing up on the iPhone/iOS apps and then right away moving over to fix up and add on the Android Applications.

-JEFIT Team

Hello All,

1.) iPhone/iOS Keyboard Input UI Redesign (With Prev/Next/Done Buttons on top of the Keyboard – We have Redesigned the Keyboard Input for ease of entering in information before/during and after a workout and having the most important buttons being featured in more noticeable and accessible areas. As before certain buttons such as the next, done and previous buttons would be located in spots the would interfere with inputting information and we wanted to structure out the Keyboard Input to make entering in information and switching to each Text Field easier and more accessible.

2.) Redesigned UI – Home and Statistics Pages – As soon as you open up the JEFIT iOS Application you will notice a redesign in the JEFIT Home Page User Interface that resembles the look of the Android Applications but a few new buttons and features to make our UI more user-friendly and accessible then before. Rather than having block buttons that state each section on the application, we have added in more symbols to resemble the pages on our application making it more universal in the process and aesthetically appealing in the usage of the JEFIT iPhone/iOS Application.

Along with the Redesigned Home Page, we have also Redesigned the statistics page to feature user-profile pictures as well as displaying more data and information about your profile/account. The display resembles the Android Application Statistics Page Display, a mini display of your My-JEFIT Profile from the website right on your application to view and track your progress after each exercise/workout.

3.) Ability to take Progress Pictures – We have finally introduced the Progress Picture taking function to the iOS Application in which users can now take their own progress photos to see how well they are doing within their workouts and upload them to the JEFIT Server, creating progress picture albums. With the iOS Display functions we have included a fade in and out function when viewing your progress photos to see the drastic changes you have made while using our application. An example would be posing in front of the mirror and say viewing the progress of weight loss or even a gain in abdominal muscles from the start of your workouts to where you currently are at now. We feel that this a great feature rather than just having pictures sliding in and out as you can actually see a bit of a comparison from yourself at the start of your routines and how you used to look, and the progression you have made to this date.

4.) Fix Alarm Bug (Notification of Rest Timer Alarm) – This bug has plagued our users since the introduction of the JEFIT iOS Application, as when you start your resting timer and exit the JEFIT Workout Application to lets say your iTunes Music or another Application, the resting timer will either start or not notify the user that the timer has ended. We have introduced a new notification system, sort of like receiving a text message from the JEFIT Workout Application but a notification message (At the top of the screen/Widget Slidedown) letting you know that your resting timer is about to end and allowing you to click on the message thus returning back to the JEFIT Workout Application and your routine. Also when you are navigating outside of the JEFIT Workout Application while the Resting Timer is currently running, the timer will continue without any problems or stopping. Previously this would affect users as they would return to the application and the resting timer would continue from the time you left off previously (with no progression at all), but now the application will continue the timer until finished and issues you a notification of its completion.

* Also we wanted to let our iPhone and iOS users know that the JEFIT iOS Application requires users to have Version 4.0 or Higher for their iOS Device to currently run the application due to the new enhancements and SDK changes we have made with this update. *

Hello All,

We wanted to provide you with an update of what is currently being worked on this moment here at the JEFIT Office and soon to be released for our users for both the JEFIT Workout Applications as well as new changes/features for the JEFIT Website.

JEFIT iPhone Free Update – One of the focusing points we have had from the middle of December until this moment have been the updates on both the JEFIT Free iPhone Application as well as the development of the iPhone Pro Application. Some of the changes that are going to be included in this update are a Redesigned Keyboard Input UI, Redesigned Home Page UI, Redesigned Statistics Page UI, Progress Picture Taking and a few other little changes. We will make a post detailing these updates further as soon as the update has been released and give a final description of all of the functions that have been added into the application.

JEFIT iPhone Pro Version 1.0 – The main goal going into the New Year was developing and having the release of the JEFIT iPhone Pro Workout Application which will feature the functionality of the JEFIT Android Pro Workout Application with a few new features as well as a redesigned UI. We have been translating the code from the Android Pro over to the iPhone Pro as well as adding in the new features from the Free Version of the iPhone Application into the Pro Version, so we have been progressing on two versions/updates at the same time. We are extremely excited in releasing this Pro Version for our iPhone users so that they get the same experiences that our Android Users are getting as well as a few others.

JEFIT Andorid Update – Features/Bug Fixes – We have been receiving .bak files and bug reports from the last update of the JEFIT Android Application and are working through the list of suggestions we have been provided with from our users to bring forth new features for the next JEFIT Free and Pro Versions. We have not forgotten about our Android Users at all, we have been extremely focused on finishing up the iPhone Free Version update as well as the development of the iPhone Pro Application that our efforts have been put forth to complete these tasks then move forward upon the Android Updates.

JEFIT Website – Exercise Database Changes – As we continue to update the JEFIT Applications, we are moving forward with providing new features and functions for the JEFIT Website with revamping the JEFIT Exercise Database with more detailed information regarding exercises, detailed exercise listings and so forth. We are also looking into revamping the custom exercise database to allow for more information to be placed into each exercise created by you, the JEFIT User, as well as hopefully including images and videos to detail the exercises that you have created further. As we understand with the JEFIT Website and Application, the custom exercise entry option is very limited as you are only able to provide the body part and name for the exercise and not able to give a description, detailed muscle listing, explanation on how to perform the exercise and provide images/video as reference of what the exercise looks like.

JEFIT Website – New Supplement Database – Another new feature we are adding into the JEFIT Website is the JEFIT Nutritional Section with the first new pages we are adding into the JEFIT Website is the JEFIT Supplement Database. Supplements are a major part of bodybuilding and weight lifting whether it be proteins, weight gainers or pre-workout supplements to vitamins, omega-3′s and minerals to strengthen the body and mind. We want to provide a giant list of supplements for users to look through and add to their JEFIT Profile to show their fellow members what they currently take or use while performing the routines they have created in their JEFIT Workout Application. A user can be very fit and tone, along with having a great routine and other users will want to know what type of supplements they might take to assist their workouts/routines, this new supplement database will help provide that information for all of our users.

The next feature we are focusing upon in the nutritional database will be the inclusion of a food database/calorie tracker as nutrition/Diet Plans and tracking of calories is extremely important to fitness/working out.

JEFIT Forums Access through the JEFIT App – One feature that has been suggested by one of our users, was to have ease of access to the JEFIT Forums through either mobile browsing or a separate page on the JEFIT Application. We have been looking into this option and understand that our forums have grown in size, amount of posts and members accessing/using our forums that we want to provide an easier tool and functionality for them to be able to utilize the JEFIT Forums without having to log on through their computers/mobile web browsers.

JEFIT App – Revamping Cardio Tracking System – As we do understand our Cardio Tracking System is extremely basic and lacking compared to other applications out on the market, one of the things we have been doing is looking into revamping our cardio tracking system, providing more and better options into tracking/recording cardio workouts and improving on the system that we currently have at the moment. Cardio is a major part of fitness, building endurance and stamina, losing weight and what many users perform while at the gym and to have a better/more refined cardio system will only make the JEFIT Workout Application that much better in terms of features provided for our users.

We also wanted to say Thank You and Welcome to JEFIT and the JEFIT Community to many of our new members and users who have joined us in this brand new year of 2012, starting off their New Years Resolutions the right way with utilizing the JEFIT Workout Application to help benefit their workouts and get motivated to change their lives, health and bodies. Our traffic and website usage has gone way up since the New Year and has given us a breath of new and fresh air to be even more dedicated to the JEFIT Website and Applications, to generate more updates, bring in new features, revamp old features and do what it takes to provide the best services and tools possible for our JEFIT Members and users of the Website and Application.

Hello All,

With the release of the new Home, Community Home, Member List and Member Photos pages, we hope you all have been able to enjoy these new website features and get to know your fellow JEFIT Members further than before.

We have just released the latest update to the JEFIT Android Workout Application, JEFIT Pro Version 4.2.1118 and JEFIT Free Version 3.3.1118. In this update we have introduced some new timer functions to the Weight/Rep Recording Page as well as revamped our Exercise Re-Ordering System on the routine list page.

New Drag and Drop Re-Order System - With the new re-ordering system, we have made it easier for users to revamp their current routine and move exercises around without having to click various buttons over and over again. Previously users would have to click Re-Order, then next to each exercise click the buttons “Up” or “Down”, thus taking a while to have to re-order their routine list. In this new feature we have made it so all the user has to do is click on an exercise and then drag it to the respective spot they would like it in their routine followed by clicking save to save the order of their routine. It is important though to make sure that you are clicking on the icon next to the exercise name as the icon triggers the action of the drag and drop feature followed by clicking Save Changes to make sure that the changes that you have made to your re-order are saved

Interval Countdown Timer - When opening up the Weight/Rep Recording page, users will instantly notice the new timer image on the right hand panel where it lists the current set of the exercise being performed. Clicking this button will initiate the new Countdown Timer function that will appear on the top of the page allowing the user to start a countdown of how long they would like to perform an exercise for. The timer is automatically set to 60 seconds but by clicking the text field, the user can set the timer to the desired countdown they would like for their exercise.

Stop Watch Function - By clicking the Stop Watch button once again, you will initiate the Stop Watch Function which the application will generate a stop watch feature beginning from Zero and counting up to when you would like the timer to start. This is great for users who would like to see how many repetitions of a certain exercise they can complete before getting exhausted or how long it would take them to complete a certain amount of sets for an exercise. Rather than having to open up a separate stop watch application, the weight/rep recording page contains this function for ease of use and access for those who like to complete their exercises under a timer.

We hope that you enjoy this new Android Update as well as the new website features, we will be working on the iPhone update next week as well as revamping some web material and then some new announcements coming next month.
