As we become increasingly tethered to our internet connections, living a fit lifestyle becomes easier than ever (provided you can put down the phone or laptop long enough to make it happen). Smartphones make it easy to track your fitness habits with free apps like Lose It, which consolidates your workout and food diary for easy monitoring. Websites like healthfinder.gov, which offers health information from the federal government, provide a good quick reference for health questions.

Here are a few resources you may not have stumbled across in your quest to live a healthy lifestyle.
