Inspiration and motivation #1 - Nerdfitness.com

Inspiration and motivation.

So I like looking at different information sources, both for knowledge, motivation and inspirational purposes, and I thought I might as well gather some information about some of the stuff I find.

So I’ll start with the latest thing I randomly found, while googeling for “fun things to do while running” after some pages / redirection etc I ended up finding something that is called Nerdfitness.com and landed at the page: How to become a superhero in 4 easy steps (http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/08/26/how-to-become-a-superhero-in-4-easy-steps/)

After reading that fun little thing I began to investigating the site to figure out what it was all about
The site sets out to use general nerdy stuff, games, movies etc, and try to make workouts and reference it in most blogs / articles. The site has several blogs / articles about everything from Training, Healthy eating, inspiration and motivation, but what really caught my interest is their “Rebel Army” + the 6 Week challenges.

The Rebel army is the users on the site people who want to take part in their community, where you as in an RPG can make your own character to describe yourself, and leveling up your character and his stats from doing the 6 week challenges.

The 6 Week challenges are challenges you pose yourself for the next 6 weeks, which can wary from training / health to none health related life goals as well.
As you complete challenges you can join a guild, these guilds are focused on specific aspects of training, wheatear you want to be doing more endurance oriented training, martial arts, or whatever kind of training you prefer, again kept in the RPG universe.

This site is very much carried by trying to have a sense of community and cooperating with others sharing experiences, while having similar(esk) hobbies (being the nerdy theme.

I have set up my first challenge (just to try it out see how it is going to work out get a feel for how active the actual community is, you can find the challenge here: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/45254-challenge-1-preparing-for-the-journey/
I tried to keep the text a bit nerdy to keep with the theme of the site.
