You can now exercise with the help of your MP3 player––without scrolling through the inconsistent grab bag of free yoga and fitness podcasts on iTunes. With iTrain, a new web-based service, you can download workouts from $0.99 to $6.99 each, in every fitness category from yoga to ballet to hip-hop aerobics to cycling. Taught by a stable of Californian personal trainers, fitness teachers, and yogis, the sessions last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, and most are set to activity appropriate––yet slightly cheesy––music.
