Living a healthy life is difficult, especially if you spend countless hours in front of computer playing and writing about fantasy football. You might have noticed that those jeans that used to be your fat jeans are now the jeans that fit you the most comfortably these days. It is official, you need to get out more. But, since you like playing fantasy sports, there is a solution that you will make it easy and you will love–Fantasy Healthball. Fantasy Healthball provides a scoring system for you to translate your healthy actions you take each week into fantasy points. Then, you can use those points to compete against an opponent that week.

The key to finding a good exercise program is something that you understand, can get comfortable with, and will stay fresh for you every week. If you are used to trying to squeeze every last point out of your fantasy football team, then this will be a very simple concept for you to grasp. There are numerous physical activities such as working out that score you points, but also simple good healthy lifestyle things like drinking enough water each day that will score you points. While weight loss is probably a likely positive side effect, you can do this just to live a healthier life.

Personally, I think the best application for this is for a group of friends to form a league and compete against each other. Staying fit now becomes a game and a contest against each other. You are now in control of how well your fantasy team does, and you can get as many points as you choose. I like to think its similar to why the Wii is so popular, because people are physically involved in how well they do. With Fantasy Healthball, it is impossible to draft a team of duds. But, most importantly, the best part, you do not have to worry about a first round pick stinking up the joint (I’m looking at your LT and Westbrook).

This is a great application of the fantasy sports model applied to something completely unrelated.
