How to make walking exciting

1

You set a goal — 10,000 steps a day. A week later, you give up.

2

Regular step counters are boring. Numbers, graphs — zero motivation.

3

You want to walk more, but there's no real reason to.

Lord of the Steps is that reason. You're not just walking. You're walking from the Shire to Mordor.
