We are a completely distributed team, so we frequently use TokBox for team video chat.  Since we have a big release coming out next week, we needed to relieve a little stress. My bright idea was to do a remote Crossfit-style workout.  Since we suck wind pretty bad for a fitness site, we scaled it to a 50 burpee competition.

This was pretty fun, and an example of how motivation is a great tool to improve fitness.  The rest of the team might call it peer pressure

I captured some screenshots of two of my favorite moments.  The first is when Paul actually completes the burpees, and signals that he is finished (look for his hand - top right).

My favorite moment is when Big D almost has a heart attack at the end.

So there you have it - even if you can’t get together with your friends, you can still keep them accountable to do some exercise.
