One of the biggest problems with working out is tracking our workouts and also making sure we do the workouts correctly. It is not the quantity of weight we lift or the amount of time we spend in the Gym that gets us in better shape, it is the quality of the workout and making sure we are doing the exercises correctly.

The Progio Training Companion is a compact, rugged hand-held device that provides complete workout instruction. It is purchased online from Progio.com or a Progio Content Provider. Progio workouts are complete with step-by-step exercise instructions, so you always know what exercises to do and how to do them.

With a variety of workouts available for download to the device, you can jump between strength and cardio workouts - to flexibility and functional training - to sports-specific workouts - quickly and easily. Progio records your workout and then it syncs to Progio.com so you can measure your success! I have used the device and must say that I am impressed with the quality of video and the menu structure. It fits comfortably in your hand and can sit by itself for you to review during your workout.
