The Fitness Games!!!!

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by The Fitness Games through their partnership with Fit Approach. I was not compensated monetarily, but was provided the Platinum Version of the application for review. As always, all opinions are my own.


In August, I was lucky enough to be selected as a part of a test group to review the app The Fitness Games.  Having just had a baby, I was ALL for another way that I knew would keep me accountable for working out and getting moving.  I didn't have any baby weight to lose but I needed to tone and I needed to train so with great excitement I downloaded my version of the app.  

I knew that, I would need something extra to bring me back into the routine of working out on a schedule again and with up coming races I thought YES this is the way to get back into it! The
 app takes working out and turns it into a social media game.  Ummmm HELLO, the workout doesn't count

unless posted to social media anyway right?  You can challenge anyone, anywhere to a workout OR do what I did and challenge yourself.  I knew that each time I came back I could push myself just a little further.  You can jump into any type of workout that were designed by personal trainers or even create your own workout.  Which is what I did most of the time, I saved my Piyo workouts and used them to challenge myself.  

Oh and the best part? Well, I have and admit to having a slight addiction to social media sites.  I love connecting to others with the same interests all over on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Blogging so the fact the app has a running newsfeed of all the workouts that the peeps on my friend's list were completing was like an extra little bonus motivation.

I never used the app to challenge anyone else, because I always second guessed myself when I was about to hit challenge.  I think that if I *knew* that someone wanted to be challenged I would have been more likely to hit the challenge others button.

The only downfall is that I kept forgetting to turn the app on when I would go out for a run or walk and there is no way to add in a workout at a later date.  The app has to be running in order to document the workout.

Overall, The Fitness Games is a great unique social media workout buddy.  The different workouts and levels were great to choose from.  I recommend that if you are looking for a workout app to check this out and give it a try! The only thing you have to lose is possible a challenge or two ;) And iTunes OR the Google Play store there is no stopping you from getting out there and getting your challenge on.  If anyone wants to challenge me I would LOVE it and you can find me at the name of CrazyMamaRunner, of course ;)
