Online Fitness Center Targets Holiday Slackers

Cold weather and big holiday dinners can tempt even the most health-conscious fanatics among us to fall off the wagon. To help those who have over-indulged in holiday fare shed unwanted pounds, healthAtoZ.com launched a virtual fitness center.

The center features vast online "facilities" for strength training, mind-body activities, nutrition, cardio activities and special areas for kids and senior fitness. The site polishes off its fitness club experience with a "juice bar" where surfers can hang out and chat online and an "Ask the Fitness Trainer" section that provides answers to fitness inquiries.

Each member of the family can maintain separate and private workout/health records. E-Mate, for instance, allows visitors to keep an interactive health calendar and organizer. Other personalized features include a diet diary and exercise calculators that help users keep track of their fitness progress.

The site also features articles on staying fit and breaking health news.
