Fit(ness) for a king or queen
 et
as buff as Ben Affleck or as lean as Christina Aguilera Ñ free,
with top-notch "personal" training from GetFit.com (getfit.com).
Under the "myGetFit" link, the site customizes training
programs using the training techniques of Olympic coaches, pro-sport
trainers and standout athletes. While lacking the human element
of face-to-face training, GetFitÕs programs do take into account
time, travel and lifestyle constraints -- in addition to age, build,
sex, fitness level and injury history. Additional features: videos
demonstrating proper form, performance feedback, charts of your
progress and a personal-lifestyle calendar. To get the most out
of this heavily interactive site, install the free Shockwave and
Flash software it offers.
