8bitfit Gamifies Exercise to Make it More Engaging
Some people become addicted to their workout routines and have no problem continually pushing their bodies and improving their fitness regimens. However, not everyone is as engaged with the process of exercising as these fitness addicts. That’s why 8bitfit, a new cool product in technology, has come up with a way to motivate and encourage people who want to get in better shape but have trouble engaging with their workout routines. 8bitfit is a mobile app that gamifies the process of fitness by introducing popular video game concepts into the process of exercising.
8bitfit works like many mobile fitness-tracking apps in that it collects data about people’s workouts to show them their progress over time. However, 8bitfit also adds features into the mix that are more common in mobile games than fitness apps. For example, video games often give users digital items called “achievements”, “badges” or “trophies” to post on their public online profile once they’ve completed a task in the game. 8bitfit gives people similar achievements for reaching specific milestones in their workouts, giving people an extra piece of psychological motivation not to give up on their exercise. People can post these achievements on social media to show off their progress. 8bitfit also provides points and scores to people based on their performance exercising as well. If points or achievements don’t properly show up on someone’s 8bitfit profile, that person might need mobile tech support service to help with their smartphone’s Internet connection.
8bitfit even takes things a step further by introducing special mini-games that people play by performing exercises. For example, one game called “Arcade Fitness” puts people through a seven-minute routine. 8bitfit users control the character in the game by jogging in place, jumping and punching the air. The app picks up these movements by using a smartphone’s motion detection. Anyone who has a smartphone with a broken motion detection system will need mobile PC repair to take full advantage of 8bitfit.
8bitfit is a cool product that merges the concept of progress in video games with progress in fitness. People who don’t naturally engage with their workouts can use 8bitfit to enjoy them more fully by thinking of them as a game.
