Ingress - walking with a purpose

XxLEOxX

I really struggled to get up off the sofa and out for a walk. I'd spend to much time thinking about why I'm walking, how far I'm going, etc, etc. Some days it was just to hard to get up just for a walk.... Until I found Ingress.

For those of you who have never heard of it; Ingress is a smartphone game that uses GPS technology to put you in an augmented version of the world. You are an agent, you pick your side, and you battle against the enemy for control of portals all around the world. It's addictive, it's amazing and the best part? You have to get up, go out and walk around to play. You even get rewarded the more you walk!

To anyone who needs an extra reason to get up and active, I really recommend downloading the game. I have made good friends, many of whom started playing to help them lose weight. To those of you who already play; has it helped you get more active? Would you recommend the game to others as well?

Been a long time since I've played. Was one of the beta players, maxed out at level 8 back in the day, but never played recently at all. Maybe should give it a try again. There are a lot of portals around where I work.
