Unmotivated to workout, heres some motivation.

Procrastination expert should be a job title. Id be the top of the field and be making the most at it. That being said one of the biggest things people procrastinate with is Working out. Yikes even typing the words makes me cringe.

One of the biggest problems with working out is right in the beginning of the word. No one likes to do work. Specially when it would be easier to just sit on the couch and binge a show on Netflix or Hulu. I have been the biggest advocate of this. You say maybe tomorrow is the day, or New years resolutions is a good time. Well life is short and maybes, and tomorrows get you no where. As the saying goes "Today is the first day of the rest of your life'. A phrase I am trying to truly use in my everyday life. 

A problem people have with working out is they try to hard in the beginning, get burned out. They take a few days off to recover, and repeat the same mistake over. Eventually they are in so much pain from this they take more and more time off until that exercise equipment is covered in dust in a corner of the basement and looks more like artifacts. 

This all brought me to one conclusion, why not make working out into a game. That way you are distracted and completely forget that your exercising at all. This actually works if your more focused on a fun game or racking up points it isn't as noticeable you just walked two miles.

Here are the apps

Heres the basics of it 

• Walk around searching for and catching Pokemon. In order to catch them all you end up 

walking around different areas and putting a decent amount of steps.

You'll find pokestops along the way you have to walk to get more supplies.

Randomly you will find eggs that require a certain amount of steps to hatch them and find out what you have caught. 

You can battle people at gyms that are placed around the world.

Those are the basics. All and all I would say I put in at least 20 miles just walking around playing this game. 

I just started using this the other night but heres what its like. 

• As you walk the streets on screen a drone will go where you go. you'll encounter many different breeds of dinosaurs. Everything from common ones to Hybrids.

You use the drone to shoot the Dinos with darts that catch their DNA. This is so you can breed your own to join your team. You won't always get all their DNA as the drone can only fly for so long and they might get away, so you'll have to find more of their breeds to get all of them. 

Along the way there is stops where you can collects extra darts, currency (for upgrading your dinos)

They have a battle area on the screen where you can take three of your most powerful Dinos and use them to battle another random players own team. 

The upgrade screen lets you see your team of Dinos, Create new ones, and upgrade existing ones with  extra DNA you collect and currency. 

 

They do have a $9.99 paid option thats monthly which includes more darts and longer fly time on your drones when your trying to get a Dino but I didn't really look into this feature 

I can see myself walking all over trying to get all of the different creatures it offers. I walked about 2 miles the other night playing around with this. 

In my next post ill have other health related apps that you can earn actual money with.
