Weather.com Expands Health Section, Launches Fitness Forecast

  • April 2, 2004
Weather.com, the website of The Weather Channel, today debuts a Fitness Planner in the Health section at www.weather.com/health. The Planner is designed to help fitness enthusiasts plan their outdoor, sports, and fitness- related activities. The Planner's Fitness Forecast combines the forecasting expertise of The Weather Channel meteorologists with consumers' geographic locations to produce a desirability rating based on optimal conditions for exercising outdoors. Meteorologists analyze the temperature, humidity, sky conditions, and wind. The Fitness Forecast will also help weather.com visitors find an ideal place to exercise by delivering a listing of local parks and suggesting the best time to work out based on the site's hourly forecast. Other features include a Hydration Calculator, Calorie Calculator, Heart Rate Calculator, and a What to Wear preparation checklist for workouts. Snickers' Marathon Bar, a brand of MasterFoods USA, will sponsor the Fitness Forecast through August.
