Extracon Science: Let Your Cell Phone Be Your Guide

Does your inner voice keep reminding you to exercise? Or lose weight? Or stop smoking?

Do you find it hard to listen to your better self?

A Memphis software company believes that instead of a nagging conscience, there is a better way to give positive reminders to exercise.

ECFit is an online system that calls and texts your phone with exercise reminders and follow-up. ECFit provides motivation and accountability for every workout, while using realistic targets that let you fit in the rest of your life.

Using ECFit is a simple, four-step process. The first step is to sign up online and set up a schedule of workouts. You will also set a realistic goal - like completing 80% of your scheduled workouts.

The second step is the workout reminders - ECFit can prompt you to do each scheduled workout by sending text messages to your cellular phone. The third step is to do your workouts.

The fourth step is follow-up and feedback. ECFit will call you on the phone to ask whether you completed each scheduled workout, and then give you feedback on your progress. You can also call into ECFit, rather than waiting for ECFit to contact you.

If you're meeting your goal, you get positive feed-back. If you're below your target, then ECFit gives you a game plan to get back on track. For example, you may have completed 70 percent of your work­outs, instead of your target of 80 percent. Then, ECFit could say that if you complete your next three workouts you will be meeting your target by Friday.

ECFit is priced at $7 per month, and you can sign up online at http://www.extxacon.com ECFit can also be offered through an employer as a corporate wellness program, so ask for it where you work. ECFit is also offered through select fitness centers and personal trainers in the Memphis area. If you're sign­ing up through a fitness center or employer, they will give you a coupon code to enter (instead of a credit card) when you sign up online.

Quote from founder Jesse Hercules:  “I started Extracon Science because I wanted to create technology that could serve as your extra conscience.  Most people know what they should be doing to live a healthier life – they just need a neutral third party to provide motivation and accountability. ”
