Fitocracy

If you know my husband, then you know he's obsessed with video games. He's recently found a new way to integrate them with his workouts. Fitocracy is a social networking site that turns exercising into a game. Users must log their workouts, and then they receive points based on the exercises they've completed. Once you earn a certain number of points, you move up a level. There are also "quests" that you can complete to earn more points. Brantley began logging his workouts on March 1st, and he's level 7. I started logging today, and I'm level 5. After our walk with Ace today, I'll be level 6 already.

Earning points, completing quests, and moving up in levels is Brantley's motivation. Mine is to stay one level above him. :)
