Strava: Run Ride Swim

Your new running and cycling companion

Different kinds of exercise fit different people, but whether you are a beginner or have been athletic for a long time, Strava can help you achieve your fitness goals. It is a helpful app that will keep your running and cycling activities in check.

Bring out your competitive side

Just like other fitness and sports tracker, Strava has you covered with your basic activity tracking needs like clocking in your start and end time, calculating your distance, measuring your speed, and monitoring your heart rate. What makes Strava unique from other fitness trackers is that it will allow you to see the progress of other Strava users when it comes to running the same tracks you do and executing the same exercise drills you practice. For instance, you will get to see how fast other people run and are able to complete the course that you are also running on. This way, you will be able to compare how you fared and will know what else you can improve. Competition is always a good motivator to do and perform better, afterall. Being able to see other people’s progress can also be inspiring. To fire things up, Strava also keeps a leaderboard where you can check who are the top performing people in your area. You can actually make it your goal to make it to first place. Just a reminder that these competitions are friendly are merely ways to motivate you to do better.

An all around tracker

Strava not only keeps track of its users' progress. It also records exercise routines so you can perform consistently and know when to up your game. You have the option to either make it private or public. Having your routine displayed on your profile will allow other users to view it and who knows, maybe even adopt it as well. If you want to share your secrets, do not hesitate to make it public.

When it comes to cycling, Strava lets you enter your bike’s components and will record the distance that it has traveled during your activity. Going back to monitoring your progress, documentation is also not beyond Strava’s capabilities. By linking it to your social media accounts like Facebook and Instagram, any photo or video you take during the course of your exercise while Strava is running will be uploaded. It is always nice to see the fruits of your labor and to not miss any epic moment of your workout.

A fitness tracker for everyone

Strava is a very good fitness tracker that is able to exceed expectations. It goes beyond simply monitoring your progress. Users feel motivated and involved because it gives people a chance to be competitive.
