My biggest issue with fitness things is there's rarely any tips on how to gain weight, everyone is so obsessed with being skinny, they never spare a thought for the skinny people wanting to be chubs
@kill: What is this Fitocracy thing and how can I get in on it? I can't check out the site on my phone right now.
I broke my foot a few weeks ago right before I was gonna start a regular routine. I'm closer to being able to exercise again.
Fitocracy is a social media/RPG lite website based around fitness. You track your exercise and receive XP towards levelling up. You can complete quests for more XP or aim for Xbox-style achievements based on feats of strength or cardio-based fitness. The official Giant Bomb group has quite a few people in it but is fairly quiet these days. The challenge group is purely for creating a monthly challenge for other Bombers, it can be motivating to have some competitiveness when it comes to fitness.
You can download the free Fitocracy app on your phone if you want to check it out, it only takes a second to make an account.
Some Fitocracy news! I've created a new group dedicated to monthly challenges. I'll be beginning the first challenge possibly at the beginning of May and keep it up throughout the year. If any of you are interested, feel free to join and let me know if you have any suggestions for challenges you'd like to try out!
You've inspired me you crazy people - signed up to the group for weight loss and gaming chats.
Make sure to follow fellow Bombers and get involved in things like our year long challenge! The more you get involved, the more support you have to keep exercising :)
Thanks mate, good advice. Adding a few now, if anybody wants to return the flavour: https://www.fitocracy.com/profile/dannyodwyer/
Just ran 5 miles and then realised the train station at my destination was closed so I ran back too. I'm wrecked but it was fun - the first sun we've had in London all year.
Followed on fito! Looking forward to following your progress.

I don't have much to say other than to point Bombers towards the Dreamfall Chapters Kickstarter and hope for a few more pledges before the last six hours are up.
For those who have no idea what a Dreamfall or a Longest Journey is, here's the full trailer:

The Longest Journey is possibly my favourite game of all time and I honestly can't wait for this. Anybody else excited for this? Shame we probably won't be seeing the proper sequel, The Longest Journey Home, for some time due to not reaching the 2 million stretch goal.
