    Athletes wanting to motivate themselves with Fitocracy's game-like ranking system have had to carry an iPhone to get the full experience, at least if they wanted to go beyond the website. They've got their solution now that the Android port has arrived. Like before, it lets smartphone owners log their runs and other workouts to earn points, new levels and achievements shared with friends on the social network. Sign-ups are free for the core Fitocracy service; springing for the $50 yearly subscription (or $5 per month) supplies the option to save unlimited routines, grab others' routines, start fitness duels and test new features early. If you've been looking for that extra nudge from your Nexus to get off the couch, hit the source link.
