Actifit - Making Steady Progress. Are You Using It?

If you're not new to the Steem blockchain, you must've heard of @actifit. The dApp that rewards you to move your body, and thus to be more healthy.

Actifit and the team behind it slowly grows and finds new ways to keep its community close. And I'd say they are succeeding.

I might be stretching it a bit, but I believe it is the most important project on the Steem blockchain. That's a bold statement, and with many contestants to such a position, many will wonder how much truth it is in this.

First of all, because it is one of the kind. Other important projects, usually have viable alternatives.

Then, because the Steem blockchain was initially thought as a platform to reward proof-of-brain, thus the usage of your brain to produce something that receives upvotes (I purposely avoided to say "of quality").

But Actifit is different. In a way, it is proof-of-work, not in the blockchain known meaning, but rather proof-of-workout. You work out - or in a more general sense, move your body - and record your physical activity on Actifit app, and you get rewarded when you post your proof before the end of the day.

So rewards come from using your body, not particularly your brain. And we know a healthy brain can't last too long in an unhealthy body.

That's why I said Actifit is the most important project of all. And one you should be using, especially if you have trouble staying consistent with routines to balance physical and non-physical activities.

I've been using Actifit since almost the beginning, I believe. And it has grown, steadily. Many functionalities have been added over time to both the mobile apps (how does Fitbit wearables integration sound?) and to the desktop website.

The latest addition to the website allows you to exchange AFIT tokens for upvotes, if you want to. Personally, I'll hold on to my AFIT stake. But hey, someone might prefer to make the exchange, and either withdraw STEEM/SBD to fiat or power them up and increase their SP stake.

Oh, and by the way, a little "warning" at the end. Actifit offers tools. To succeed (and not just hunt for an upvote), you have to be true to yourself first, because Actifit doesn't do the work for you. ;-)
