Website Review: Earndit

Surfing around the web today, you’ll find many sites designed for runners and fitness enthusiasts. There are websites for mapping and tracking your running route, as well as fun and engaging social networks based on fitness activities such as running, biking, and swimming. Also available on the web (and mobile platforms) are fitness games that offer friendly and fun competition among friends. Of course, there are the more traditional running logs that let you document your progress. I’ve recently discovered a website, Earndit, that gives users something different – something tangible in fact.

Earndit is a neat little site that’s packed with goodies. The idea there is that they will give you rewards such as fitness products or gift cards based on how much you exercise. It’s free to use Earndit – and you don’t even need to create a new account for it. For more check out my review of Earndit on iRunnerBlog.
