Some of you may have been wondering what HealthVault is and how it can can affect your Podfitness experience. Well, it offers Podfitness users a world of new features, including some our users have wanted since we launched.

• First, HealthVault shows your Workout History, allowing you to track your previous workouts in detail.
• With HealthVault, Podfitness can target and track more specific health-related goals, like helping you achieve a specific weight, blood pressure, cholesterol level, etc.
• Graphs of your HealthVault-linked goals, for at-a-glance progress tracking.
• Automatic (and secure) synchronization between your Podfitness account and your HealthVault profile: make a change in one, and it’s carried over to the other.
• There are many more HealthVault partners that offer free services that will automatically tie to your HealthVault account. For instance, one of them lets you turn a treadmill run or walk into a virtual map around your neighborhood, to give you an idea of how far you’re really going (and you can share it with friends). Expect lots more cool stuff like that here.
• Even more possibilities (stay tuned for info about HealthVault and Nike+ compatibility with Podfitness…)

To get all this extra benefit, just sign up for HealthVault and tie your HealthVault account to your Podfitness account. Keep reading to get specific instructions on how to tie the accounts together.
