I joined a few days ago and loving it! It's childish I know but I get a kick out of points and badges!

For anyone that hasn't heard of it - You set up a profile and then every time you exercise you log it and you receive points, earn a certain amount of points and you "level up" to the next level. You earn achievements for things like running a certain distance in one session and you can take on quests to try new exercises/challenges. It's all social too so you can join groups and challenge people to duels (lol).

It's like turning exercise into a game and it's a tad geeky but really motivating if you like that sort of thing. :D

Might have to have a look, I love stuff like that (yes, I know I'm sad, before anyone else says it)!

Oh dear, I think the website got me hook line and sinker when it told me I'm awesome!

Thank you very much for the link, just got myself and the other half all signed up! (He didn't get the running challenge complete however!)

I love Fitocracy's basic idea. As a gamer I love the idea of achievements, however sometimes I can't find everything I do on there. Also my husband says it is a wicked pain to input a P90X routine. Anyway I log all my walks and runs on it and think it is basically a great time!

You can save routines using the advanced save option, which may save him some time! My other half does a variation of the SS program and he just saved his workout from today so it'll take half the time to input tomorrow. :)

This might help him a bit if he's doing the same routine a few times a week!

Yeah being able to save workouts is handy. My username is Lozibeth if anyone would like to add me :)
