Fitocracy: combining RPGs with workouts

**wizwar31** · Posted On: 7/01/2011 1:51am

Did any of you ever play an rpg and wish it was that easy in IRL to level up? Ever wanted to go outside, kill a slime, punch a pidgey, and gain experience points? well now you can with Fitocracy!

Its basically a community website that allows you to log your workouts (including your classes. i was able to log my bjj and judo classes), for exp points! You may even complete quests for experience and receive achievements.

While it doesnt really add anything to my whole workout experience, it is kinda fun and does provide a sort of gamer's motivation:

This looks like an interesting thing for gamers and such. I am not much of that.
But I would have liked it a lot more, if it would've referred to this:

when you wrote RPG.

Since I was just playing Shadow Hearts: Covenant for the nostalgia last ngiht instead of working out, I think this is something I should do.

I found a cheat code.

yeah i realized RPG could stand for "rocket propelled grenades" but thought it would just get more curious people to check it out.

if you have a cheat code, lemme know! i need help completing the quests...

That was a joke; just lie about working out.

yeah i briefly considered logging 1,000,000 pushups just to see how much exp it would net me...

well if it can help some people.. then it is a good thing. also it can be useful to log training somewhere.. I might check it out. If it is a good and easy way to log training then why not.
