This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
💪 exercise is a (typically) passive post type that represents some form of physical activity. Its content is often similar to a note or can easily be represented as plain text.

If you're looking for website metrics see:
IndieWeb Examples
Barnaby Walters
Barnaby Walters uses his open source HTML+CSS+JS Pushups web app (download to clone) to track (nose touch activated) and post (via Taproot's micropub support) pushups as a note variant to waterpigs.co.uk since at least 2013-10-14. Example:
Aaron Parecki
Pushups
Aaron Parecki uses his open source pushup-counter iOS app to track (nose touch activated) and post (via p3k's micropub support) pushups to aaronparecki.com (through p3k#Pushups) since at least 2013-11-28(or earlier?). Example:
Runs / Walks / Bike Rides
Sleep
Sleep isn't really exercise, but I wasn't sure where else to list it. Example:
POSSE
See microsyntax#metrics_and_exercise for some ideas on how to POSSE exercise posts into plain text destinations.
Silo Examples
Jawbone
Jawbone's API has a lot of stuff:
MapMyFitness
MapMyFitness has an app and website:
- MapMyRun, mapmyrun.com which claims to be able to aggregate fitness posts/activities from nearly all other fitness silos, and then provides access to them with an API.
- https://www.mapmyapi.com/Standard_API
- It may be interesting to explore mapmyrun.com to PESETAS fitness information and then use their open API to feed it all into your own site.
Nike
Nike has various fitness tracking applications (iOS, Android, ???)
- Nike+ Running
- ...
Strava
Strava tracks bicycle rides and runs.
It's possible to setup Strava to push into Jawbone
- Aaron Parecki is doing this since ????-??-??
Strava allows you to download an export of all your data, which includes all the trips as individual GPX files.
RunKeeper
RunKeeper tracks bicycle rides and runs and other types of exercise.
Apple
Apple appears to be adding a "Health" API for iOS to centralize health & exercise related activities:
Fitbit
Fitbit make a number of fitness/activity trackers.
- Dev program
- Export lets you get XLS or CSV data for your own personal account for food, exercise/activity, sleep and body/weight data.
- ifttt has Fitbit triggers
Challenges
- Too much hassle (AKA "high friction data collection") http://aaronparecki.com/articles/2012/10/28/1/low-friction-personal-data-collection
Brainstorming
Some brainstorming about exercise posts, including simple text-only syntaxes that could be used in notes:
Step Tracking
Syntax: number-of-steps #steps anything-extra
Examples:
BMI Tracking
Syntax: number #bmi
Examples:
Issues
Privacy
Depending on what device you use and circumstances, you may not own the data, and it may be retrievable by others to then infer (or disinfer) other things about you:
- 2015-06-29 Fitbit data just undermined a woman’s rape claim
For Risley, fitness-tracking may have backfired, tracking something she didn’t necessarily want committed to the record. It’s likely we’ll see more Fitbits being trotted out in court in the future, as the wearable trend takes hold, and self-tracking leads to self-incrimination.
Sessions
IndieWebCamp sessions about exercise and other physical activities.
