It’s important to include a little exercise into your lifestyle to stay fit and keep those diseases and ailments at bay. But fitness is slowly becoming a major part of our daily lives as technology has started playing a vital role in its execution.

Earn cash for staying active and get paid by members who aren’t – does that sound interesting? Pact is a fun fitness app which lets you make pacts with your family and friends for working out and achieving healthy eating goals, with money working as the incentive.

Of course, you need not play with actual currency; you could easily do the same with chores around the house etc. to make things more interesting for the family. If you do decide to work with money, use a collective kitty that members would need to add money to; when the “jar” is full, the cash could be used for something fun for the whole family.
