JogTunes and the Fitnio Exercise Tracker iPhone App

Robby, a member of the Fitnio iPhone exercise tracking team app, recently introduced me to their program. Their uniqueness? Running music playlist integration. That means you can set up a playlist to use whenever you run. The app uses the built in GPS for tracking. It can be interfaced with their website, fitnio.com, for map acquisition, history, goal tracking, and more.

Check out the screen shot. Here's the info on music integration. And here's their blog.

This is one impressive app. When you launch it, don't forget to get your running music from jogtunes.com or load up our podcast episodes.

And shoot them a comment and tell them I sent you.

Runner's World's discussion thread, What song finished your run today?, provided some fine runnable tunes. GoDaddy posted Tick Tick Boom by The Hives. It rocks at a leisurely jog of 136 BPM. I also found Walk Idiot Walk by the same band on iTunes. It's a faster jog at 147.

Hypnostep, on the Runner's World forum thread "The Best Running Music EVER", posted a great list of dance and electronic music with BPMs. I listed tunes from the list by Juno Reactor,the Benassi Bros., and the Propellerheads. The BPMs vary from the 120s (great for fast walking to the 140s for easy jogging.

• Nightrain--Guns N' Roses 155
• Tough It Out--Webb Wilder 161

The latest on iTunes provides 2 tunes for my list.
"West of the Fields (Live)" by R.E.M. in the album Live: From London works out at 164 BPM.
"Everyone Nose (All the Girls Standing In the Line for the Bathroom)" by N.E.R.D. from Seeing Sounds is an easy going 141.

Peter Andersson is our veteran contributor. His picks for this week include tunes by Nickelback, The B-52's, and Skew Siskin. You've got to read his comments on Skew Siskin's tune, "Shake Me." It can be found on his website in his top 50 list (it's #24).

My latest JogTunes Indie Podcast episode is up for running and other fitness modes. It's #22 and entitled "Rockin' in the 150s." Check it out on our Podcast Page.

JogTunes Adds Our Take on Nikeplus' and iTunes' Lance Armstrong: Run Longer Compilation

The JogTunes Group just posted 5 tunes from the Nikeplus iTunes Lance Armstrong: Run Longer Compilation. You can find them along with their BPMs on the Tunes List. For music-paced interval runners, below is my suggested BPM-sequenced playlist. It includes 8 tunes from the compilation with walking paces mixed with interval running tempos. Click here to order the mix from the US iTunes Music Store.

Peter's picks for this week is "Rockstar" by Nickelback. It's a comfortable pace at 144 BPM. Check it out along with other Nickelback "runnable" tunes on our Nickelback page. Check out Peter's extensive list at his website.

I hope you're enjoying the redesigned website. I welcome your comments at comments at jogtunes.com.

The JogTunes Group posts a new podcast episode and new running music

This is the week for the alternative genre at JogTunes. My latest episode (#17) accentuates the alternative with more that the usual tunes of that ilk. Check it out in iTunes or on my podcast site's home page.

After the holidays, downloads of the podcast accelerated to a whopping 4600 per month. I guess everyone's resolved to stay in shape this year.

Alternative's the word on JogTunes.com. I listed tunes by Silverstein and Ween with BPMs from 150 to 160 for some easy-going fun runs and other workouts. Other new bands on the list are Slipknot, The Gap Band, and Bullet for My Valentine. I also added 2 more tunes by Angels and Airwaves from their latest album, I-Empire.

Thanks go to jparkerc and mcdunn34 from the Runner's World Discussion Group, Best Running Playlist EVER, for their suggestions of the Silverstein and The Gap Band tunes respectively.

Peter's pick is The Illusionist by Scar Symmetry. This is one hard driving metal tune that's sure to motivate the laziest runner. Please check out Peter's great comment on this tune on his website. When you go there, scroll down to tune #44.

Don't forget, all of the music, podcasts, and playlists can be used for indoor cycling, aquarunning, stairmaster, elliptical, and even minitrampoline. If you have waterproof audio gear (e.g. http://h2oaudio.com/products.php), try the tunes for swimming.

I'm working on an upgrade of the JogTunes Group's set of websites. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Please send them to comment at jogtunes.com.

And, by the way, I put a Donate button on the podcast site, jogtunesindie.com. Please consider supporting my efforts to promote working out to the exact beat of great music and indie artists. You don't need a PayPal account to use their service. If you're interested, I do get affiliate marketing commissions for tunes that are purchased via links from my websites. That's the good news. The bad news is that Apple only pays 5 cents per tune. Granted, the small income from commissions helps a little, but considering the time I spend, it's minimal.

Meanwhile, best of ruuning.

New Running Music by Josh Kelley, Patti Smith, Kate Nash, and More

Hi BPM runners, cyclists, and other BPM exercisers!

Here's an update on the latest listings at JogTunes.com:

I'm grateful for Josh Kelley's new album, Special Company. It's got a bunch of BPM-walking and running tunes. I posted 4 great runnable tunes from the album. The BPM range is 142 to 175.

The iTunes Music Store is featuring an iTunes Originals album by Patti Smith. I found three songs from the collection for walking at 123 steps per minute and running at 160 and 175 BPM. The last two are actually two versions of "Midnight Rider."

Then there's the UK pop artist, Kate Nash. Great stuff! I posted three tunes, one at 169 and two at 181. They're fast and fun.

Rounding out the list are tunes by Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Sparks. The Sparks' tune is "Progress" and it's Peter's Pick for this week. Peter reminds us that "Sparks were pioneers of the synth genre in the 70s and did albums at least through the 80s and 90s." See more of his commentary about Sparks on his website, It's #34 on his running tunes list.

I'm starting to collect tunes for The JogTunesIndie Podcast episode #17. Please look out for the show on 1/27.

Meanwhile, happy BPM running!

JogTunes Group Formed and Posts New Running Music and Podcast Episode

I'm happy to announce the formation of the The JogTunes Group, a DBA licensed by the State of Utah and operating under B & G Business Services LLC. The JTG is dedicated to providing resources for working out exactly to the tempos (BPMs) of great signed and indie artists' music. The flagship website is JogTunes.com which lists runnable songs and playlists by signed artists. Associated websites are JogTunesIndie.com, our primary site for our podcast, The JogTunesIndie Podcast, and our most recent JTG addition, BikeToTheBeat.com. The latter is designed for stationary cyclists who enjoy working out to music and pedaling to the beat.

I'm endeavoring to combine these sites into one site to allow more interaction and accessibility. I welcome your comments at comments@jogtunes.com.

I just added more tunes to our Tunes List. Jeff sent in a fine list of runnable songs, all BPM rated. From his list I picked Aerosmith's Pink and Some Unholy War by Amy Winehouse, both in the 170s BPM. Here's his personal website.

Susan's extensive BPM rated list provided me with 2 songs by Blues Traveler and 2 by John Mellencamp with BPMs ranging in the 150s to 180s. Susan's an active aquarunner. Here's her website.

I found KT Tunstall's new album Drastic Fantastic on the iTunes Music Store's new music list. You'll find 3 songs by her on our list. The BPMs are 122, 142, and 155.

Peter, our veteran contributor, pointed me to The Donnas' new album, Bitchin'. You can practically BPM-pace walk and run to the entire album. I selected 5 runnable songs ranging in BPMs from 143 to 170.

Another Peter's Pick on the list is *NSYNC's Bye, Bye, Bye. It runs at 173.

Thanks Jeff, Susan, and Peter, for your generous contributions.

I also just added the single, Radio Nowhere, from Bruce Springsteen's new album, Magic, coming out soon. The BPM is a leisurely 140.

I encourage you to go to Peter's great website for his fine list of running songs with BPM ratings and commentary.

My 13th episode of the JogTunesIndie Podcast is up for running. Please check it out at jogtunesindie.com.

Most of the songs are by artists who have been featured on the Association of Music Podcasting members' shows. Please see the above website for details.

It's my first 1 hour episode. It's divided into a 45 minute segment followed by a 15 minute segment.

It's also the first time that I invite stationary cyclists to try pedaling to the podcast songs. The more recent shows have walking tunes in addition to the running segments. This wider range of BPMs lends itself well to cycling. Please see more about cycling to the beat on BikeToTheBeat.com. Please note that I strongly discourage biking to music on the road. The risks are just too great. So please keep it "stationary."

I hope you enjoy the new additions, expanded podcast, and biking perspective. Meanwhile, happy music-paced running (and biking).

Dr. Bob
