In this video, we go through how I used my fitness watch's GPS data to calculate how many jumps I am hitting every day on my mountain bike. I use the Strava app to track all of my fitness data from my watch. Because of this, I can access Strava's API with Python to pull my fitness data on where I have gone for the day. From there I use Python to combine the number of jumps that are on each trail with my Strava data to then visualize the number of jumps I hit.
