I made this app to inspire people to habitually and spontaneously exercise and to be physically active as an integral part of life. You can use the app solo to discover and share new exercises. And you can use it with friends, family and colleagues to challenge each other and to battle it out in combat mode (competitions of who does more repetitions).
Availability: Android and iOS
Price: Currently free
Cost to me: Time and effort to build, adjust and update the app.
Why do it?
Exercise and physical activity have a very positive impact on my life, especially mentally. I think that a lot of people tend to look at exercise as something that primarily benefits their looks though and hence as something they should be doing, without seeing much (if any) joy in it.
Personally, I have no exercise goals, I don't schedule time to exercise, I don't look at exercise as something that I dread or have to do and I eat what I want and as much as I want. For me, the most important benefits of exercise and physical activity are that being physically active makes me feel good and that it clears my thinking. Physical fitness is merely a nice bonus that comes with it.
So the aim of the Hbit project is to sway people's perception from exercise as a dreadful chore to exercise as playful fun.
