I...

I'm signed up...

I'm part of rosefox's gaming party.  It's a site that turns doing chores into RPG-like adventures.  We're using this for weightlifting (and other exerciseal things).

My god, I've gone to plaid dork!

moominmolly, you gotta look into this.

Penny Arcade's comic on this made me laugh (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/07/20).

*laugh* That's wonderful!

I...that is...freaking hysterical. If it gets me off world of warcrack and doing chores more often it is worth a try.

Join our party! You can create your own adventures, customized to whatever you want to encourage yourself to do. I recommend having some surrealist fun with items and monsters; for example, when I do sit-ups, I might find a coffee mug! Or be attacked by a piece of fuzz!

That's awesome. I totally signed up, and I blame you!

Wow, it never occurred to me to use it for self-improvement rather than household chore-splitting. That's infinitely more appealing. . .

/me wonders if this would make taking regular breaks, excercising, icing, gooing, strength work, etc more entertaining...

Hmm. How does one add adventures which can be done?

Sadly, I cannot walk to or from work (40 minute drive!).

And I don't know what a four-interval workout is.

On the plus side, I bet my 3-4 times a day excercise set each count toward three different upper body excercises! (wrist things, forearm things, upper arm things) And probably should include the icing and gooing in there, since I do them every time. Hmm! *thoughtful*
