Growing up I was a lover of sports and physical execercises and I had plans to continue staying fit everyday as I grew. But now that am grown up, the hustle of life isn't letting me have that time I wanted. Am thinking why would I use my leisure time exercising when I could be making money with my time?
Just when I thought all hope was lost on keeping fit in this phase of my life, Actifit came to the rescue. Yeah, thanks to the innovation of technology, staying healthy has become more accessible than ever. Am talking about Actifit, an application that combines the power of technology with the importance of fitness. It is a Hive DApp that allows users to track their physical activity and earn rewards for staying active.
The developers of this DApp were wise enough to take advantage of the decentralized Hive blockchain to design an engaging platform for fitness enthusiasts like me. It operates by converting our everyday physical activities, such as walking, running, gyming, or any form of exercise, into measurable data that translates into cryptocurrency rewards.
This is undoubtedly one of the most exciting DApp in the Hive ecosystem, as it brings earning to it's simplest form. Imagine walking your way to rewards, that's exactly the feeling I got when I downloaded this app.
All that's needed from any interested Hive user is to go to Google play store, download the Actifit app set it up by connecting it to your Hive account, and start walking your ways to earnings (I would share a guide on how to achieve this at the end of this post).
I know some people might be wondering how the app would be able to accurately detect our movements and record it. Yeah it is possible because basically, there are embedded sensors on our phones to help detect our steps and workouts. Thereby allocating Actifit tokens (AFIT) based on the intensity and duration of the exercise we engage in.
This AFIT is the native token of the Actifit DApp, and it serve as a digital currency, rewarding users for their fitness achievements. I wonder why I didn't find this initiative earlier than this, because this innovation wouldn't only help my physical wellbeing but also provides financial benefits for me. What an initiative!
Show me a person that doesn't appreciate this DApp and I would tell you a person that doesn't know the importance of physical activities to their daily lives. Physical activities do not only help our physical structures but it equally prevents chronic health conditions, like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
Beyond physical health, fitness also plays an important role in our mental and emotional wellbeing, especially as writers. I have heard complains from many Hive bloggers on the issue of their mental stress, and I think all they would need is a little workout. Because staying fit has proven to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and to improve our moods and energy levels, making daily tasks more manageable and enjoyable
The app is user-friendly and it's GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows us to easily navigate and know our ways around the app. There's an "Activity log" section where we can see the result of our work rate for the day.
Over the years Actifit has gained more and more users, as many individuals are eager to share how the platform has transformed their approach to fitness. The Actifit DApp has been a two way blessing for many, tracking the movements of users, and converting their exercises into valuable Actifit tokens (AFIT).
Beyond Actifit tokens, participants can also earn Hive tokens (HIVE), a digital asset that can be utilized in the Hive ecosystem.
- For Android users navigate through Google Play store, search and install "Actifit".
- You would need to login to the app with your Hive username and private posting key.
- After login, your fitness journey begins, and your work rate would be calculated for the day, as you workout while your phone is on you. You can click on Activity report to know how far you are going. Like the image below, I went jogging and my Activity report went from 804 to 9035.
- After crossing 5000 activity level, you can click on "Post & Earn" to share your activity report for the day.
- You would be required to share your report with nothing less than 100 characters, and possibly some few images for the day. On posting it through the Actifit app, it would reflect on the Hive blockchain, and you can get rewarded.
