Workout routines can be monotonous at times. It can be tough to stay motivated, especially when you’re a beginner. However, gains take time, so the challenge is pressing on long enough to achieve your goals.
In a digital world and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s no surprise that we’ve started to use our phones to replace gyms. However, while many fitness apps exist to instruct us on how to train, not many inspire us to do so. This is where gamified fitness comes in. And while multiple apps contain a variety of triggers to get us to work out more frequently, non have yet been actually inspired by video games. This is where Barbarian Fit comes in.
What is Gamified Fitness?
Gamified fitness transforms a basic individual workout routine into a fun task by adding game elements.
Gamified fitness solves your lack of motivation. Instead, you’ll wake up every day looking forward to breaking your record or completing an in-app task. Also, there’s a reward at the end of every challenge – what a way to seal the deal!
Benefits of Gamified Fitness
Better Motivation
You use your smartphone for everything, so why not exercise? All your instructions and progress are in one easy-to-use app. Have fun while you train, and ensure you stay motivated to keep going. The easier you make to work out, the more likely you’ll actually do it regularly.
Weekly XP Bar
There’s something addictive about video games that keep you coming back. Gamified fitness taps into that element, thus pushing you to set and achieve your fitness goals.
Health experts recommend 75minutes of exercise weekly. Barbarian Fit makes it easy to use an in-app Weekly Workout XP bar to set and track your training minutes every week. Working towards smaller goals helps you tackle bigger ones, and before you know it working out is part of your weekly routine.
Track your Progress
One of the discouraging parts of exercising is not seeing immediate results. However, with gamified fitness, you can see your progress data even if your body stays the same. Barbarian Fit tracks your calories lost and other information related to your workouts. Seeing your progress is encouraging, and you’ll find yourself pushing harder when you see how far you’ve come.
