Inspiration

Everybody knows that regularly exercising is beneficial to their health, but only few follow their regime regularly. I too, struggled with this. But I observed that when I am exercising with my friends, as we challenge each other, exercising doesn't feel like a monotonous chore, it feels like a fun competition. So I took this challenge based approach to exercise and tried to recreate this for everyone via a web app

What it does
