Oh, Flappy Bird — the little app that stole people’s sanity, point by point. It’s the first time we’ve heard of people bragging about high scores in the low double digits.
And now, it’s a workout: For every point you earn, you must do a push-up. To make things even more interesting (or infuriating), you can play with a friend, and your high score = how many push-ups the other person must do, and vice versa. It doesn’t have to just be push-ups though — burpees, lunges, squats, bicycle crunches and flies could also work well here. Take that, fancy gym memberships!
Even though the app is no longer available, there are plenty of competitors out there that could also fit the bill: FlappyDoge, Flap the Bird, and more.

Huh, well there’s an interesting approach to workouts! 🙂
I think I should try something like this, but because I suck so badly at this flappy kind of games, I’m thinking I could get my number of push ups to be the difference between my score and my highscore. Or if I manage to get a friend to do this with me, I’ll do push ups according to his score, and he or she according to mine!
Thanks for sharing this, it’s a great idea!
