in Fitness and Exercise
Hi, someone on MFP was raving about the 'Walk to Mordor' app, which sounds like a lot of fun. Has anyone come across any other fun apps that can make exercise a bit more interesting for those that are new to it or less than enthusiastic about it?

Disclaimer: I'm a magazine editor and am looking to recommend a few to my readers!

Thanks in advance!

    The big apps I've seen on the various threads have been:

    C25k
    C210k
    Zombies, Run!

    I have not used these apps as I prefer an IRL class type experience (or a good trike ride), but they all seem to be highly recommended/loved.

    Strava is a good running app, let’s u compare to other runners in ur area that do ur routes and ur previous runs. Massively good for me as the direct comparison with myself helps encourage me

    I tried Zombies, Run but I couldn't understand what they were saying half the time.

    Wokaman is a fun app that you can sync with your tracker. The more steps you take, the more your monster grows!

    If you wanted to put up real money, Stepbet allows you sort of bet on yourself to complete a challenge. It personalizes your goal and if you join a challenge and meet your goal, you win a share of the pot.

    I've been trying Ingress off and on. It's what Pokemon Go was based off of. You run around finding portals that you capture.
