Lack of motivation is one of the main obstacles to physical activity, but new stimuli and ideas are coming from technology. In time to get back in shape before the summer. Almost half of Italians, for example, would do more sport by being able to combine face-to-face lessons with online courses with their trusted trainer. Not only that: he would renew his subscription first if he could buy it from a smartphone. To say it is a survey carried out by Sportclubby, the main platform for booking sports and wellness, used by over 700 thousand sportsmen in 800 centers throughout Italy. If digital facilitates access to sport, its impact is even stronger when it allows us to find what we are looking for. And this year, according to data from Sportclubby, there will be above all activities capable of combining physical and mental well-being (46%). Not only that: 1 Italian out of 3 wants an increasingly inclusive sport, with lessons designed for different age groups and suitable for any type of build. Finally, 10% struggle to combine sport with child management and would train more if they could do it at the same times as their families. Behind these needs are the main causes of a sedentary lifestyle, but here are 4 innovative ideas to get around them and prepare for a spring full of movement: – The more you walk, the more you earn. Thanks to the Step application of Young Platform, a platform that simplifies access to the world of cryptocurrencies, you can ‘redeem’ your steps, earning small sums. And so the treadmill will no longer be a problem. The app proposes different challenges and assigns tokens to achieve the objectives.

Zoom, social, app. Digital sport now has dozens of different options, available 24/7. Whether taught by your trusted trainer, available for free on social media or accessible from home fitness platforms, online courses don’t just appeal to those who appreciate greater flexibility of place and time. “Many give up physical activity, because they are not comfortable with their body or do not like the comparison at the level of performance”, explains Stefano De Amici, Cpo and co-founder of Sportclubby. “For some, training in front of the PC, in the living room or in the park, is the best compromise to overcome any delay and make movement. In the last two years we have helped hundreds of Italian centers to digitize themselves to offer everyone this possibility ”, he adds.-Run with your dog. Even the usual walk with Fido can turn, for both, into an opportunity to burn calories and let off steam. In the countryside or in the park, thanks to smart devices with integrated GPS to be applied to our best friend’s collar, it is possible to run freely together without fear of getting lost. Tractive also has an associated app that not only allows you to track your dog’s location at any time, but also to measure distances and performance and be notified if it leaves a safe area or enters a forbidden area. even at the restaurant.
