Okay gals, for all of you who don’t have a workout buddy to drag your saggy booty to the gym when you’re feeling lazy, I’ve got the answer for you! You can register this under the “what will they think of next” column in your imaginary diary chronicling all things weird in cyberspace.

Weight Nags is the latest creation by some well intentioned, clever techies (who didn’t get the memo that “fatty” means Fit After Thirty Hotty), to aid others in their quest to stay in shape. For those who respond best to a little tough love when it comes to motivating you to follow through on your commitment to yourself to stick to your workout schedule, this might be the answer. Here’s how it works:

It’s as simple as signing up for random email or text reminders from the pesky little Cyber Nag. Whether you are the type of person who gets too busy, and forgets that it’s gym day, or the type who thrives on being nagged to get you moving, this tool could work for you. You can start the year off  with a few not so friendly reminders that you promised yourself (and your *f.a.t. sisters) to get a new body in the new year!

Of course, though potentially useful, it still can’t take the place of some great, expert workout advice from a trained professional to guide you through your workouts. So, check in frequently at Fit After Thirty for fitness articles like this one on kettle bells, and for our upcoming “how to” video clips from our resident experts at Fitness Doctors, on some great training techniques and exercises.
