I support this message.

I've done the French Route for Way of St. James. On a bicycle!

AWESOME LIST.

Oh, I'd add heli-boarding in Alaska to 100% experience list. One of my exes used to do this every year. I don't snowboard but I used to fly out with them and pick them back up at the foot of the canyon. It's incredible.

I too am a gamer, i love this idea! playing on your passion and other interests to help your fitness goals.

I remember being jealous of my character in Skyrim, it had actually inspired me to out on more nature walks, and want to improve my strength. (not for sword fighting or dragon slaying, well maybe a little..)
