I know that you have saved all those “Ten minutes a day for the perfect abdomen” clips from YouTube, but let me tell you about a new method of training over the internet that may save you some time. Plus, instead of Google-ing for the perfect exercises, you might even start doing something about that belly. I'm talking about the Withings Smart Scale, which has been paired now with Peaksware's TrainingPeaks software in order for regular guys like you and me to receive professional advice from fitness experts around the world.

“We are very proud to include integration with TrainingPeaks online training and nutrition software,” says Cédric Hutchings, co-founder of Withings. “The Withings scale introduces the new age of the Internet of Things, where devices can be considered as an open platform that can be used by experts to provide enhanced services. With the Withings body scale, we offer experts a way to provide closer services to customers, a new way to transform online services into detailed and tailored services for the public. By bridging the gap between customers and experts, Withings makes the services the experts provide more efficient and personal.”

The Withings Smart Scale has the same powers as the BodyTrace Wi-Fi scale and now, instead of giving simple Twitter alerts, as it used to do in the past, it comes with the benefit of professional help over the internet. All you have to do is do your exercises regularly. For your weight to be put online on the dedicated website, all you have to do is step on the scale, as no login process is required. The scale will upload your weight, lean & fat mass, as well as your BMI (body mass index) ot your secure webpage as well as onto the Withings iPhone application.

Here's what the CEO of Peaksware, Donavon Guyot had to say about the new solution. "As a user of our own software products, I've imagined and longed for something like the Withings WiFi Body Scale for years. Now that the integration of our products is complete, I'm proud to say the result is literally a dream come true."

You can find the Withings Smart Scale on the official website for $159.
