[QUOTE="Fiddleback, post: 7653230, member: 6704070"] Hi [MENTION=99]Rel[/MENTION], I would be interested, given your background and experience, in hearing about ideas for 'gamifying' fitness and excercise. Beyond the general health benifits, it is often difficult to find motivation for regular and consistent excercise that is not tied to a sport or athletic game. Being that we are all, to one degree or another, tabletop gamers and enjoy gaming of this nature, is there a way that we can take our gaming motivations and extend them into the realm of health. Note that I am not talking about games that 'teach' health principles. No one, I think, genuinely enjoys those sorts of things and they don't necessarily help motivate people to do more in maintaining their own health. So, how about it? Are there ways to gamify fitness and health that feed into our already highly motivated gaming interests? [/QUOTE]
