Have you woke up in 2010 to find that your world has got a little slower, a little heavier around the mid-rift and generally over-indulged? Join the club, as we check out the best Ovi Store apps around for helping you shift those pounds, get in shape, or just monitor the state your in.
Yes, it's finally 2010 and the time has come for you to turn those hastily made resolutions about health and fitness into reality and start shedding your winter pounds.

DOWNLOAD: GI Planner for Diabetes
The Glycemic Index (GI) rates foods by the way carbohydrates break down into the bloodstream as sugars. Although originally created as an aid to diabetics, GI scores are also rather handy when it comes to planning a healthy diet for weight loss. With this handy app you can calculate the GI of your meals and plan your diet accordingly.
Fit Pro
Size: 0.08 MB
Price:£3.00
A handy calorie counting aid, Fit Pro also asks what exercises you are doing each day (no fibbing now) and calculates how quickly you are burning them off. You can work towards a daily calorie limit and plot your progress on graphs and charts. There is also a 'lite' version of the app for £1.50 which lacks some features.
Heart rate monitor
Size: 0.048 MB
Price: Free
In the absence of a Bluetooth heartrate sensor for your Nokia, this will have to do - take your pulse with one hand and tap out the rhythm on your phone with the other. Heart Rate Monitor will translate your taps into a near-as-dammit reading for your actual pulse. We wouldn't rely on nit in a first aid kind of situation, but if you just need a rough idea of how your pulse returns to normal after exercise this is a neat solution.
Diet 2 Go
Size: 0.07 MB
Price: £1.00
Why limit yourself to one fad diet, when you can try 10? Diet 2 Go has the details and menu plans for 10 diets, each designed with a specific weightloss regime in mind. You get meal reminders, menu ideas and some handy motivational tips to keep you on track.
Day of Death

Hmm, well this app wont help you count your calories, or check off your exercise goals but it just MIGHT give you the extra bit of motivation you need to step away from the XBox and start working on your cardio vascular system by quite simply scaring you senseless. Give the app some basic info about your lifestyle and it will tell you when you are likely to pop your clogs. We won't reveal what we 'scored' but lets just say we are typing this while standing up and chomping on a carrot stick.
