The end of 2011 and the coming of the New Year were without any doubt filled with celebrations and festivities. And with the Pinoy tradition of celebrating the Holidays with loads of food, perhaps one New Year’s resolution most of us always count in is the desire to burn the extra calories and lose those unwanted pounds. Well it’s definitely good to know that we’re not alone in this tedious endeavour as our very own “smartphone” lives up to its name. The BlackBerry App World offers some amazing FREE applications dedicated to helping us all keep that healthy lifestyle we have always wanted. Check these out:

1. Calorie Counter by FatSecret – This application helps in providing essential information about the food that we eat, and conveniently helps plan these meals that we take. It also keeps details of our progress with a built-in journal and a weight chart.

2. 200 Sit Ups Free – Perhaps this is one of the basic workout that everybody knows apart from push ups. Doing about 30 sit ups non-stop is challenging enough, let alone 200! Well, with this free application, the goal of building core strength could well be possible.

3. Relax Completely – Doing relaxing wellness techniques (i.e. Yoga, meditation, etc) areperhaps one of themos overlooked aspect of maintaning a healthy lifestyle. With this FREE application for the BlackBerry phone, there’s no reason now not to take a moment to close our eyes, take that deep breath and free our minds from stress.

4. Free Push Ups Fitness – Like the regular sit ups, doing push ups constantly help build strength by targeting major muscle areas like the chest. Especially for those who want to keep that tough muscle look, this app should help manage how we do this basic exercise.
