Below is a general list of stuff we ask from you, along with tips to give you more ideas when posting content.
Do not just copy stuff from Wikipedia and paste it here[]
That is bad. Our stuff is better anyways.
Some specific kinds of articles[]
Exercises[]
Submit an article detailing a specific exercise. For an example, see pushup. Check out the Exercises category for a list of all the exercise articles you can enhance.
- Do not just write a how-to article. How-to articles are boring.
- Post a video demo of the exercise and then you only have to write the key points to remember (such as active shoulders during a push press).
- Post links to other exercise articles.
- Check out the Exercises Project for some really great ideas. Join it!
Website[]
Submit a website page profiling a health and fitness website. For an example, see Fatal Fitness or CrossFit.
Equipment[]
Submit an article on a piece of exercise equipment. For an example, see rings. Check out the Equipment category for all the articles on equipment.
- Post as much relevent info as you can without droning.
- Who invented it?
- What is it made of? Does it even matter?
- What is it used for?
- Can it be home-made?
etc.
- Check out the Exercises Project for some really good ideas. Join it!
Athletes/Other Persons[]
Submit a bio on a popular athlete/person. For an example, see Steve Prefontaine. (you can also help us add to his page.)
- What are they known for?
- What contributions did he/she make?
- Born/Died, when/where/how

Sports or Activities[]
Submit an article on a particular sport or activity. For an example, see Gymnastics, Ironman Triathlon, or marathon. If you don't want to tackle the monumental task of covering such a broad topic as a certain sport, you can write about a relevant aspect of that sport as well (i.e. maybe I don't want to write about parkour because there's so much to cover, so I write about a wall run instead. Check out the Activities category for a list of more articles.
