7. Pokémon Go
As you’re probably aware of already,Pokémon Gois not a fitness app in any sense of the word. That said, if you want to catch more than a handful of pocket monsters, you’re going to need to get out and about to catch them.
Yes, you could drive, which will take some of the distance out, but you’ll still need to walk around to catch anything.
6. Fitocracy
Fitocracyis less a game and more of a social network build around fitness. That said, it offers Xbox-style achievements, and chasing these can lead you beyond the bare minimum of your daily workout.
Tracking your results can also help keep you motivated to continues exercising, with out without the app’s achievements, which is really the goal here.

5. Walkr
From the name, you might just thinkWalkris a pedometer app, but that’s not the case. Instead, the game has you exploring the galaxy in a ship powered by your steps.
This is similar toFitness RPG, only with a more sci-fi twist. If you prefer lasers to swords, this is probably the fitness game for you.

4. Carrot Fit
Carrot Fitis much less of a game than the other apps we’ve looked at so far. Instead, the app promises to be “your new fitness overlord.” As you work through the Seven Minutes in Hell workout, the app will quip at you.
If you’ve usedCarrot Weatherbefore, this won’t come as a surprise, but having a fitness app refer to you as a meatbag is a novelty worth seeing.

2. The Walk
If you’re not a runner, maybe developer Six to Start’s other game,The Walk, might be for you. This uses a similar approach toZombies, Run!, only here, as the name implies, you’re walking instead of running.
You’ve got a package to save the world, but the only way to stay alive and deliver the package, you’ve got to walk the length of the UK. That’s a long way, so you better get started.
1. Zombies, Run!
Are you the type of person who would literally need to be chased to get running? If that’s the case,Zombies, Run!may be exactly what you need. This game combines audio cues and music to get you pumped.
It’s not all about running away from zombies, though. There’s a story to give you an idea about the world in which the game takes place to make the fright feel even more realistic.
