Looking for music to play with Fitnio's music integration? Check out JogTunes.com


Naturally, the first thing we did after adding music integration to Fitnio was tune up our running playlists.

One site we found that helped us is JogTunes.com, a site cataloging BPM (beats per minute) rated label and indie music. If you're looking for upbeat songs to run or ride to, this is a great place to go. The site's founder, Dr. Bob, also has a podcast devoted to great indie music to exercise to.

Let us know in the comments what songs keep you motivated when exercising.

Camels walk 2.5 miles per hour

I was lucky enough to recently travel to Morocco with a friend who grew up there. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was riding camels in to the Sahara desert. Being the nerd that I am, I obviously wanted to know how fast a camel walks so I tracked our camel ride with Fitnio.

The unanticipated bonus of tracking camel speed was that I now have a map of my camel ride. How cool is that?
