5. Use earned calories – Heiaheia hack that gives you a list of (fast)food you can eat after an exercise. @alatalo
• Case: you have ran for 45 minutes -> You are given fastfood options McDonalds, Hesburger, Pizza, Kebab -> You get the amount you can eat to level out the exercise (eat a BigMac, but no fries)
6. Same as no. 5 but the other way around – Heiaheia hack. @alatalo
• Case: I have eaten a BigMac and I'm feeling regret, what exercise should I be doing so that it'll get burned away
7. Foursquare like checkin for exercise routes and events – Heiaheia hack. @alatalo
• Case 1: I always walk the same route around the lake, I would like to be the mayor of the route.
• Case 2: Aerobic every tuesday at 19-20, I have been there 18/20 times already and I'm leading the checkin scoreboard for it.
8. Try a different sport next time – Heiaheia hack. @alatalo 
• Case: When I enter 30 minutes of swimming in Heiaheia, it gives me suggestions to burn out the same amount of calories. E.g.: Next time try bicycling for 60 minutes. Why don't you try rollerskating for 50 minutes?
9. UBI display showing the nearby Foursquare tips, todos, popular places and people who have checked in lately @jlaurila @alatalo
