i-Google, Do You?

I want to share a really cool thing I jsut found called a "Google Gadget." It is a widget that anyone make on any topic. I made one (surprise, surprise) on fitness tips. It is really easy to change up, so subscribers can get a new tip on their homepage every day (or week, or whatever.) You can invite your customers, coachees, friends, enemies... anyone to use igoogle as their homepage and add your gadget. Even better- you can add links to your Beachbody coaching page,website, or blog. It is a great way to add value to your coaching with a daily reminder about fitness AND a subtle reminder about the great coahing opportunity!

Below is the email I sent to my coachees:


(friendly neighborhood) Fit Doc here.


Healthy Homepages

I just made a cool new widget I want to share with you! It gives you quick fitness tips and I'm calling it (very cleverly) The Fit Tip from The Fit Doc. Technically, it is a "google gadget." It works with igoogle, a personalized homepage from google that is pretty cool. Igoogle allows you to pick and choose the content of your page with these gadgets. You can get news, weather, jokes, and even fitness stuff like weight trackers and calorie counters.

Make sitting at your computer something that improves your health, not hurts it! Add igoogle and The Fit Tip to your homepage for a dose of The Fit Doc every time you go online!

( I wish I could say "your daily dose." While I'll try to give you a new tip each day, in reality I am far too irresponsible to do that. Let's just say your "periodic dose" of The Fit Doc!)

From google:
After you've added this gadget to your page, you can personalize further by adding other gadgets you link, including email, news, sports, weather, and thousands of others. You can get back to your iGoogle page by going to http://www.google.com and clicking the "iGoogle" link in the upper right-hand corner. You can always return to the classic Google homepage by clicking the "Classic Home" link.

So follow the link, set up your healthy homepage, add The Fit Tip, then get out there and push play!!
