If you want to get in on the hype of using Strava to track your workouts, but you have concerns about posting your running and biking routes for the whole world to see, fear not because you can make your activities private.

Strava is an exercise tracker that doubles as a social media platform. It allows you to share your workouts with your followers and compete in challenges with users around the globe. Posting your daily run to Strava raises some safety concerns, but there are ways to limit who can view your runs to just your followers or you can make them completely private.

We will show you how to change your settings to make all your activities private and how to make individual activities private. However, it should be noted that when you make an activity private it won't count toward any challenges.
