Do you put in enough mileage exercising to circumnavigate the globe? Sign on to Hall of Fame women's basketball coach Marian E. Washington's new fitness website and find out. TrackandFitness.com will take you on an interactive journey around the world.
Subscribers input their physical activity for the day--from running or walking to weight training or even housework--and the site's technology translates that information into mileage, then moves users virtually across the country. An online map, beginning in the U.S., tracks progress mile by mile, city by city. Each new destination provides interactive activities for the whole family.
As a social community site, TrackandFitness.com "educates, inspires, motivates, supports and connects people," Washington says. Washington, who began her sports career as a discus thrower, has been an Olympic coach and served as head women's basketball coach for 31 years at Kansas University.--Eve Gumpel
