Track Your Fitness Goals Through Social Media
Thursday, March 11, 2010 | AHIMA

No matter the format, a PHR can keep you accountable for recording and updating your health information. But what about everyday health concerns, such as fitness and weight loss?

Whether following a personal trainer on YouTube or Tweeting your ideal weight, social media allows you to encourage others while improving your own health.
