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.
