Gadgets and Gizmos: Fitocracy

I have this theory that if I can turn sweating on the floor of my loungeroom into a competitive activity, then I'm more likely to want to do it, instead of bemoaning all the reasons I have to do it. Sadly, sweating on the floor is not an organised team sport.

I remembered Fitocracy. 

From what I can tell in the 5 minutes of clicking around, Fitocracy is platform to log your workout and depending on intensity, will grant you a number of points for working out. You compete against friends; first to infinity points wins. I don't know what these points are good for, but I am assured that they are very important. 

This is not my first time on Fitocracy.I had joined back in 2011 in the Great Baby Weight Expungancy with a bunch of online friends. I logged exactly two work outs -- both comprising of a light walk and an insane number of squats -- and then left the thing to die of neglect. 

But I am a different person now. I am four years older. I have mostly a new set of cells. I am way more dedicated than last time. Look, I even have a blog. I will definitely use this properly now; I will log every work out. I mean, its not like I have any active groups to be competitive with, or a buddy to work out with, or any real plan or goals. These are totally parameters for good outcome.

If, for some reason, I have made fitocracy sound like a cool idea, I've made a group that we can all chat and chill out and COMPETE TO THE DEATH in.
