We've reached the third part of our series. In the first two posts, we've talked about Steem Monsters and Utopian.io, two completely different projects built on the Steem blockchain, which was designed for blogging and social media.

This shows the immense capacity of the Steem blockchain to house a variety of projects, even now before it "upgrades" to include something that will be more enticing for this purpose, called Smart Media Tokens.

But about them another time, maybe.

So, in the first post we covered a game and in the second we moved to a very serious project which rewards open-source developers and not only. Now why not switch completely random but consistent in our previous inconsistency, to... fitness, or to avoid inhibiting anyone, rewarding daily physical activity, including doing house chores, shopping, walking, moving around office etc.

Introducing Actifit

Why would you want to use Actifit with all the other fitness apps from renowned companies already in the market?

The reason is simple. What motivates you to work out or simply to stop being lazy and sit on a chair/couch most of the day?

For some is enough that they don't feel well in their own skin. For others the opinions of others start to matter.

But eventually not too many people stick with a regular routine of working out, or even to move around enough.

Do the popular fitness apps incentivize you to do better? How?

Well... Actifit gives something that has value. In fact, more than one thing that has value. As all decentralized applications built on Steem usually do, because the Steem blockchain offer this amazing rewarding system which has worked for two years without failing. That alone should mean something now, when there are over 1.1 million accounts on this blockchain, and around 60,000 which are active daily.

How does the whole process work?

Step 1. You need a Steem account, if you don't have one. Unfortunately this process still takes up to two weeks if you want a free account. Signing up will become much easier after the next "upgrade" of the Steem blockchain, at the end of next month.

Step 2. You need to download Actifit app from Google Play Store. Right now only an Android version is available, but an iOS version is close to completion, from daily reports.

Step 3. Do your daily activities! If the app records more than 5000 steps (think of them more like movements, they can be pushups, gardening, walking your dog, biking etc.), you can post your achievement along with a short description of it. You will be rewarded both with an upvote (which has a real value when rewards will be distributed by the Steem blockchain, 7 days after) and with AFIT, a token specific to Actifit and which will have a certain value once Smart Media Tokens will be launched. But the discussion can be become complicated if you don't know anything about Steem yet. Just know you are rewarded for your efforts. If you are doing this daily, even better for you, both health-wise and reward-wise.

There are other possibilities to increase your rewards, but again, you would need to know a little bit more about Steem. That's why I've said many times, the sooner you join (and use Steem) the better for you.

Step 4. Actifit community, as well as support, if you need it, can be found on:

https://www.twitter.com/Actifit_fitness
https://www.facebook.com/Actifit.fitness/

Step 5. Actifit also has a presentation website at actifit.io, which is growing and developing as well.

Actifit is only one month and a half old at the time of writing and fitness is an important niche. It matters if you are an early bird, rewards are more consistent now. Just saying...
