Strategies and games ideas for motivation to get one's self doing simple exercise routines, 8/1/18

Exercises games ideas, 7/30/18, CK 

I had been encouraging a friend that it was a lot easier to get one's self exercising if one could make it fun somehow. I suggested making a list of such possibilities. A week or so later, no, no list... ok, so I want to see if I can come up with such a list. Yes, and here it is. I need a list of small rewards too now!

• Brainstorm big list – 10 kinds
• Write on chips or slips
• Random pick three
• Do - one minute each – how many weeks for this game before increasing the ante with the times?
• Track daily and exercise log or some kind of journal/study record. 
• Spreadsheet and form for tracking
• Put together music playlist to do exercise to
• Use timer with fun music reward
• Collect exercise or dance videos to move to. Aways keep a log
• Make graphed images to fill in color blocks as you complete
• Make a long rewards list
• Record, track before and after feelings
• Turn the whole process into a story/ a person/ a servant/ a role/ an animal/ a person being studied/ a person in a clinical trial
• Turn the whole process into a graphic novel – as you go along
• Write an article on the process as it happens
• Advent calendar or style rewards
• Compete with a buddy
• Get a buddy to do it with as a partner, to keep each other motivated
• Role play games with avatars and scores – there is a website with this premise for achieving goals over challenges and difficulties
