We’ve always been fans of eating right and being healthy.  We joined Fitocracy, a site with a mobile app that lets you gamify your physical activities.  Everything from yard work to planks have a point value, and you level up as you continue to exercise.  The community is extremely supportive, and there are all sorts of people active.  So we thought it’d be fun to incorporate our geekiness with our exercise.

We’ve created a group – the Geek Forge Fitness Quest group – to have challenges to keep everyone in their top fitness game, while making it fun and geeky.  You do have to join Fitocracy to play, but joining is free, and you can do it with or without a Facebook or Twitter account.  We’re going to have 4-session quest challenges, and keep track of the leaders and participants here.  Missed the first session?  Don’t worry, we love new players!
