Introduction

One more month passed for me and Actifit. I continued my journey with the Actifit app, and we are now old friends. I’ve been using the app for almost three months now, and I got used to it. I go to work by walk, and the app is my companion on the way. Actifit is rewarding me and motivates me to do more. Beside the walks to work, I also use it during the weekends, and especially when I go hiking.

App updates

Actifit is continuing with their regular updates, and a couple of changes were made in the past month. Probably the most important one is that they released an iOS version of the app. More on this here. iPhone users now have the possibility to use the app. This has increased the number of daily posts, reaching more then 300.

They have also made update on the actifit.io web, adding more features and information. There is now a possibility to edit your Actifit posts from the web.

A fitness competition was introduced, and the challenge was planks! The reward was quite attractive, 10.000 tokens for the first place. I now have 10.000 tokens, and it took me more than two months of activities and delegation to get this amount. For the time being I skipped this competition, since I’m not in that kind of shape 😊. The winner of the competition was @franciferrer with 10 minutes of non-stop plank! Congrats to him. I think that I can’t do more than a minute and a half. But, I can get motivated some time in the future and start doing this Actifit competitions.

They have future plans, like setting up goals, reminders, changing the reward mechanism and integrating with wearables. One of the most expected update is the possibility to insert a photo from the app.

Supporting the community

Actifit has reached 300 posts per day, but this is not the total number of users they support. If we take a look at the number of accounts that Actifit has voted in the previous 30 days, we will see that they have supported more than 800 accounts. This is a lot. They are now in the top supporters on the STEEM blockchain. Giving this support to the community is essential. Actifit is contributing in distributing the SP to more and more users on the blockchain. Here is the chart for the users they supported.

My activities in September

I’ve made a record of my activities in the previous month. I’m doing this because I have realized that when I have a data to compare, for different period of times, it motivates me. No matter what I do, benchmarking with my previous periods, gives me motivation to improve.

Here are my stats for September 2018.

I’m satisfied how I performed in this month. Actifit rewards its users for minimum of 5000 steps, and the maximum is more than a 10000. The dark lines on the chart represents this numbers.

I achieved a minimum of 5k steps for 26 days out of 30 days. This includes the days when I forgot to post. This is something that I’m not improving at, but getting worse. In August there were 2 days where I forgot to post, and now there are 5 days. Excluding these days and I have 22 days eligible for actifit vote.

My goal was to have at least 25 days with minimum activity of 5k. So, I have achieved this goal in September. Bravo to me 😊.

The most active day in September for me was on 9th of September. It was Sunday and I did hike that day. It was a great experience. Here are some photos.

The view on the city from the nearby mountain is very nice.
The second most active day was a visit to a friend, so I had a long walk on the way there, and back.

Too bad the winter is coming, and I would not be able to go on hiking as I would love to. But I will do some nice walks in the winter as well. Especially when it will be white and covered with snow.

Since I started forgetting to post more and more, I made my self an alarm on my phone, dedicated to actifit. It goes on everyday in 22h 😊. I think this will do the job for now.

One of the things that I want to achieve is to have a morning exercise routine. I am struggling with this for a long time. Sometimes I exercise, it sometimes not. Last month I bought my self a strap for the phone and used it for indoor exercise a couple of times. But not enough.

Earnings from upvotes

Below is a chart of the upvotes that I got from @actifit account for my activities in September 2018. They had been rewarding me with an upvote from 0,1$ to 0,5$ depending on the activities that I made. The value of the upvote depends on the amount of power delegation and number of posts.

The average upvote for me in past month is 0,22$.
But this is not the only way Actifit rewards its users. They also reward them with Actifit tokens.

Actifit Tokens

Actifit tokens can be earned from activities and delegation. Also, they reward one token for voting users report card.

I earn tokens from activities and form delegation. I have made a small delegation of 100 SP.

_{screenshot taken from my excel file}

Tokens are rewarded for minimum of 5000 steps, and the maximum is more than a 10000. For activity more that 10k the reward is 100 tokens, and for 5k is 25. The rewarded tokens gradually increase between these two amounts. In the last month I have earned a total od 1775 tokens from activities. Comparing this to the previous month when I earned a total of 1935, I have earned less. But this is because of the posts that I forgot to post. I have made more activities but less posts.

The chart below is for tokens earned from delegation.

_{screenshot taken from my excel file}

Actifit rewards the delegators with 1:1 ratio on a daily basis, until the delegations reach 100k SP. After that it allocates the tokes proportionally. Actifit has now around 140k delegated SP, so the ration 1:1 is no more, and they award less then a token for SP. For 100 SP delegated, I started the month with about 90 tokens per day and finished with 70 tokens per day. I have earned a total of 2337 tokens from delegation in September.

The total number of tokens earned in September is 4100. The total number of Actifit tokens that I have on my account is around 10k.

I’m satisfied with these earnings. What will be the value of these tokens is yet to be seen. SMT are planned to go live in March 2019 and we will have to wait till then to see how valuable they will be. I don’t want to speculate with price and I will remain patience and wait.

Comparing my results with the previous month

When comparing my results with the previous month, I can see that I have done better. The total number of moves in September was 324k, and in August 269k. Also, September have 30 days, one day less than August. So, I’m satisfied with the result and will keep trying to improve it.

Now the winter is coming, and I hope I will not drop with my activities. October is not that cold, so I hope I will do well. Will shall see how it goes.

All the best
