As I mentioned in a past post "Dollars for Doughnuts", people do significantly better with exercise and weight loss when they are motivated by an external (usually monetary) reward. Charity Miles is a great app for anyone who does any walking, running or biking. Using the app you can choose a cause and they will donate money to your charity of choice for every mile you run, walk or bike. I particularly like the social media aspect of this as it allows your friends to support you and track the good work you are doing for yourself and your charity. I think this positive feedback will propel people to exercise even on the days they feel like sitting at home and having pastry and reading the paper!
