    Downtime

    YoGoGo’s hosting provider is having some issues resulting in extended downtime. We’re working on getting the site back up, and will be moving it to a new host in the near future. Sorry for the inconvenience! Please check back later.

    Crash!

    Dear YoGoGo-ers,

    Our server instance crashed this afternoon and we had to start fresh. We were able to restore the data from a recent backup, but please check to make sure any workouts or comments you added this afternoon are still there. You may have to re-enter them.

    Sorry for the inconvenience!

    Now I’m off to the gym because my lack of entries for the past couple days has nothing to do with the crash :-(

    New leaderboard! More than just friends

    Today your friends tab looks a little different. You can click on ‘November Leaders’ to see all users who have worked out this month, not just your friends. If you prefer to keep it personal, the ‘Your Friends’ tab shows all your friends, whether they’ve worked out or not.

    The pagination is also a little different. You skip through the ranks by clicking on the links beneath the graph. As before, the graph centers on you by default.

    Updates for November 1st

    Greetings yogogo-ers!

    Today we present two big changes to yogogo: modified intensity levels and goals!

    Modified Intensity Levels

    There are now three intensity levels instead of five. The switch to three levels lets us better match the recommendations by the American Heart Association, and will hopefully make it easier to decide which level fits your workout.

    Check out these guidelines for entering workouts with the modified intensity levels

    Light - 1 point per minute
    You can carry on a conversation and sing. Your breathing is unchanged. Examples: leisurely walk, housework, stretching
    Moderate - 2 points per minute
    You can still carry on a conversation, but your breathing rate is elevated. Examples: brisk walk, yard work, dancing, riding a bike on flat roads
    Hard - 4 points per minute
    You’re breathing harder and it’s difficult to carry on a conversation in full sentences. Examples: Jogging, jumping rope, swimming, riding a bike on hills, lifting heavy weights

    Goals

    On the workout and profile pages, you’ll now see a progress bar showing how well your’re progress against your weekly goal. Click the goal to the right of the progress bar to edit it.

    You can edit your goal by directly setting your target number of points, or fill out a form describing the workouts you want to do each week.

    Coming Soon!

    Here are additional updates that we’re working on this month!

    • View previous months on the friends graph
    • View your progress compared to all users, not just friends
    • Follow people who aren’t your friend on facebook
    • More useful graphs on profile pages
    • Login and register with a yogogo account and other 3rd party account like Twitter

    We’d love to hear your thoughts about the current updates and upcoming changes!
