placeintheground.com – all the latest information, ideas and thoughts on having fun while you break a sweat. Inspired by the possibilities of exergaming, this site’s goal is to help as many people as possible, all over the world, lose weight and have as much fun as possible doing it.
Here are some of the topics you’ll find here:
- How to get motivated and stay motivated (hint: it includes having fun!)
- How to incorporate friends into your workout fun
- How to include your favorite activities in your workouts
- How to include computer games in your workouts (DDR and the Nintendo Wii)
- Avoiding injuries (being injured is not fun, and you won’t lose weight & get fit when you’re injured!)
- How to maintain a good diet, without sacrificing taste & enjoyment
- How to overcome common fears related to working out. Being scared isn’t fun at ALL.
- How to make the most efficient use of your exercising time, so you can go back to having fun!
- How to avoid common pitfalls, like trying to lose too much weight too fast.
- …and while it might sound strange to some, how to gain weight safely & sensibly, for the featherweights among us!
