The Really Needy HUD system (a proud sponsoring media partner to New World Notes) just launched Season Two of its fitness contest, with the top three winners collecting L$2000 total in cash prizes, along with a free Really Luxurious Shower Cabin -- go here to get started.
A fun new way to explore Second Life and socialize, the Really Needy HUD is a Sims-like roleplay system to SL, and the fitness game on it tracks the most active players on an in-world leaderboard. (Click here to see it.)
Here's tips to getting started from Really Needy's Grace Ling:
Tip #1: Just get started.
Jogging outdoors for just 5 minutes unlocks Level 1.
Tip #2: Level-up to gain more points and unlock fun activities
"When players move up a level, they can do a new fitness activity which earns them more points. For example, Swimming* (level 2) gives more points than treadmill (level 1) while Boxing (level 3) gives more points than swimming. When they reach level 4, they unlock the ability to make protein shakes which will boost Health meter."
Tip #3: Exercise with a friend
"Regular exercise is good but some people find it hard to stick to a schedule if they are on their own; if you exercise with a partner you can kick each other's asses... I mean, motivate each other. While consistency is good, don't overdo it either. If they do beyond their limit per week, they get exhausted without any fitness points. As players level up, they can exercise more times a week."
Much more detail here. May the most fit avatars win! And congrats to the Season 1 winners:
- 1st place: Bellѕ de' Vαιllαɴт (labellababy)
- 2nd place: Davina Bliss (davinadmera)
- 3rd place: Ryan (ryan.thumem)
