Pokemon: Go Workout, Introduction and Part 1

The first step to working out is simple: Go. Work. Out.

Despite the enormous number of catch phrases, inspirational speeches, etc, it's still not as easy as it should be. But honestly, simply getting out and doing something is the best and most crucial first step to getting hooked on getting fit. It's even better if this workout regular, so that I can start to establish a routine. Once I have a routine, things get a whole lot easier.

So, I decided to base this first themed workout on Pokemon Go, using the app and a SMART goal structure. (SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Reasonable, and Time-bound)


POKEMON: GO WORKOUT! (Part 1): 

Walk/Run 20k in one week, using the app to track progress. 

• This 20k can be spread out throughout the week in any way (ex. 5 days of 4k, with 1 rest day, etc etc). 
• There are no restrictions when/how much to run/walk. 
• Feel free to stop for Pokestops, catch Pokemon, even battle gyms. 

REWARDS: For now, the built-in rewards for the game. 

(However, if I can keep this up enough to step this first program up a notch or more, I'll earn the right to buy myself a workout shirt/hat/something.)
