With Sworkit there's no excuse for not working out—even when on the road.

Sworkit offers video workouts for any area of the body and many varied forms of exercise.

The life of a marketer can be extremely hectic. Whether it's meeting with clients, attending conferences, or coming up with the next big idea, there is rarely time to fit in exercise. However, Sworkit hopes to change that.

The app fancies itself a personal trainer in a user's pocket who's there for those times when the gym is not an option. Sworkit offers video workouts for any area of the body and many varied forms of exercise: cardio, Pilates, strength, stretching, and yoga. Users can even create custom workouts from more than 160 different exercises.

Sworkit combines interval training with randomized exercises as it aims to maximize each workout's effectiveness. Each of the app's workouts can be performed without weights or other equipment, so there's no excuse for not working out—even when on the road.

Swork it real good.

Business Breaking News: Facebook 'Rooms' Update Helps You Boost Engagement

Last month, Facebook unveiled Rooms, the social network's version of message boards and discussion forums. The company issued its first update to the Rooms app for iOS today (Nov. 25), adding new features to help Room owners monitor activity and drive engagement.

Though owned by Facebook, Rooms is a standalone service outside of the social network. It lets you create, join and participate in "rooms" about any topic you're interested in. Each room contains a feed of content — photos, videos and text — about that topic, much like Instagram and other social networks.

Rooms offers businesses a new venue to market their brands, showcase their expertise, and spark conversations with current and prospective customers. Users can invite their friends and share content, just as you would with any other social network. [21 Social Media Marketing Solutions for Small Businesses]
