STEP ON IT
Okay, you enjoyed that famed chocolate cake for dessert two nights in a row, and those cups of ice cream were really delicious, while the rolls of bread and butter at dinner were absolutely wonderful. But now your conscience is sending up caution flares.
If you experience a sense of guilt — or your clothes do not fit as well as they did before the cruise — it’s time to use a phone app designed to count steps.
Free step- counting apps include Pedometer for Android and Life Coin SDK for iPhone. You can set your own goals on how many steps you require each day. On today's sprawling ships, it's not difficult to meet or beat that goal. azumio.com (iPhone) j4velin.de ( Android)
