Suggestions for social exercise logs

March 27, 2008 12:29 PM

Could someone recommend a social exercise log along the lines of We Endure but which allows one to track more general exercises (like weight training) along with activities like running and swimming. Thanks!

For Twitter users, there is gtFr - Get Fitter with Twitter. Advantage: easy to use for folks who already actively Twitter. Disadvantaged: the social aspect is not immediately noticeable or tractable; the limit of 140 characters and the need to remember the special tracking "codes."

inpowr - "Rate your well-being, Set your goals, Share your experience." I haven't used the site enough to fully evaluate. But so far, I do like the user interface. Recurring reminders can be set up so you get email pokes. The focus is setting specific goals with time lines. Looks to be an easy way to join/build community.

TracksLife - Very simple online database. Advantage: set up any type of activity to track. Disadvange: can see all public tracks, but not a way to easily interact with others about shared goals; however, you can send links to your trackings to others.

Best answer: Does Traineo do more stuff?

You can input many types of workout to choose from, including strength training. There's also an "other" category to input whatever you want. I also find the UI very easy to work with.

The Daily Plate has surprisingly good exercise tracking for a food-tracking site. As you might imagine, it's mostly focused around calories, but they have a huge list of exercises, and you can put it not just time but also heart rate and some other stuff I can't remember right now.
