Zombies, Run!
Like some of the other participant blogs I’ve looked at, I’m
using My Fitness Pal to track calories and try to lose weight. It’s a great app; however, it’s nuts and
bolts of weight loss. Zombies, Run! is
what motivates me to exercise. EVERY
DAY!!! And, I really am not fond of
exercising. It is developed for runners,
but can also be used by walkers, on a treadmill, or (as I use it) on an
exercise bike. Each mission is part audiobook,
part your own music playlist, and part low level computer game. You start the first mission in the middle of
the zombie apocalypse as the helicopter you are riding in is shot down in the
middle of hostile zombie territory … run!!!!!
It is surprisingly motivating to get moving when you hear the voice say
“zombies, 10 meters behind you” and the sound effects of moaning and heavy
breathing kick in. Plus, I love the
character of Sam, the radio operator who guides you through the zombie infested
English countryside.
This is a paid app - how much depends on the mission pack that you get.
