Fitness experts have long pointed to tracking as the best way to maintain this goal, and Office 365 offers several ways to help. Whether you want to monitor your diet, or your workout, Office 365 can be your strongest motivator. You can also manage your weight loss using Excel. Plus, by saving your workout plans in SkyDrive, you can access them from your tablet, PC, or even from the gym on your phone–so you can keep updated from virtually anywhere.
