The Fitness Challenge
 

I've been away for a while, so if someone has already posted this thread, I apologize.

I finally found something that really motivates me to work out. There is a game called The Fitness Challenge that is played by 2 people. Everytime a player works out, they get a star worth a certain point value. Whoever gets the most points wins a coupon from the preselected prize booklets. My friend and I have been playing for 3 weeks. So far, I have bought her a manicure and she owes me a CD and a movie of my choice. The best part is, prior to this I rarely worked now. Since we've started, I work out at least 30 min a day, 5 days a week!

The game lasts for 8 weeks (because that's how long it takes to form a good habit) and can be played for a prize at the end of the 8 weeks, or a prize every week, it's up to the players. They even have a website for people who need a partner to play the game.

I really recommend this for anyone who wants to get fit but is having trouble getting motivated.

Hope this helps.

:woops:

I found the site but I don't quite get it... the game sounds fun! Too bad I don't have anyone to play it with LOL. And none of my friends would play it with me LOL because they know how much I am working out! :)

I bought this last winter with the intention of writing a review of it for the site. I thought it would make a great Christmas gift! Time slipped away from me and I didn't publish the review. But I did think it would be a fun way for families to get involved with fitness. The only thing I didn't like was that it was designed for two players, so you'd have to buy more than one box if you want your whole family to play.

Can you give me the site for it? It sounds great and i would love to read up on it. Thanks!

site and more info
 

The site for the game is www.fitnesschallenge.com

What I like about it, is even if you don't have someone to play with, you can find other people on the site and play with them. So, it's a fun way to get in shape and make a new friend.

So far, I've worked out at least 5 days a week since the game started. We're on week 5, and once the 8 weeks is over, I already have another friend who wants to play. I love that the board is reusable!

Let me know if anyone wants any more info. I swear, this game has really worked for me and my friend. We're going on a cruise in August, and by then we should definitely be in better shape for bathing suits and shorts!

:goodluck:
