04 February 2019 | 0 comments | Posted by Che Kohler in Athletes
The fitness industry has embraced technology and its safe to say it will continue to add more technological advances to improve fitness in the future. From enhanced clothing and gear to fitness trackers and metric performance analysis, there's always something new going on in the world of sport and fitness. So it comes as no surprise that fitness and cryptocurrency are looking to pair up and get you motivated to burn some calories and earn some crypto.
If this "burn and earn" approach to fitness sounds interesting to you, then check out some of these crypto fitness projects currently in the works.
ActiFit
ActiFit is a fitness tracking application available for both Android and iOS and rewards users for their workouts or "Proof of Sweat" with a native token. ActiFit tokens are currently an ERC-20 token, but the application runs on the STEEM blockchain.
ActiFit users complete their workouts with their device tracking their movements, and once they've reached the reward minimum threshold which kicks in after you perform 5000 steps per day, they will earn tokens.
A user who posts their workout summary/report card to Steemit will earn additional rewards in STEEM. The app also has an integration option for you Fitbit (currently only on the Andriod version), making it a little easier to track your workouts

Once you've downloaded and installed the app on your mobile device, it will track your steps and reward users with a native currency known as .Using its ‘Walk&Earn’ feature, the app currently pays out at a rate of 0.95 Sweatcoins per 1,000 steps taken outdoors.
