Self Workout in the Park puts mobile gamers to work on iPhone, iPad

When Self Magazine launched its very own Facebook game centered around health and fitness, we have to admit that we were a tad confused with the platform choice. Now, publisher Conde Nast looks to make good on its promise of a social game that promotes healthy living through, you know, actually living out a healthy lifestyle? Workout in the Park has launched on iOS.

This mobile version of the social game of the same name brings many of the same concepts over to a smaller screen, like mini games that are fitness and health-themed. But perhaps the most interesting features are those that drive players to make a change in their lifestyle, like the My Goals feature. This keeps track of players' real-life goals, rewards them for staying the course and makes it possible for players to motivate their friends to join in on the action.

Additions like a check-in feature seems to add to the whole "accountability factor," of this mobile edition of Workout in the Park. (And we all know how effective that can be as a method for trying to shed the pounds.) With a price tag of "free", it's worth a shot to help keep yourself in tip top shape, no?
