Interview with StepMania users

1. How has your activity level changed after using StepMania? Have you started moving more?

So far, not much more. On some days, I’ve started to make myself go for walks. To get even more motivation, I’ve begun inviting friends, colleagues, and relatives to join the leaderboards.

2. What is more important to you? To take more steps or to earn more coins?

For me, physical activity is important. And the excitement of who will take more steps. I’m not in a hurry to be first, but I also don’t want to be last.

3. What inspires you to lead an active lifestyle?

I enjoy discovering new places. And to explore them, you need to walk. A long time ago, I used to play Ingress. I walked all over Moscow when I lived there. After work, I would go out and play for 2-3 hours.

4. What has been the biggest challenge related to physical activity that you have overcome?

Probably hiking in the taiga mountains, traveling around Europe, and a tour in New York. I had to walk a lot. I especially enjoyed walking around New York City and its surroundings.

5. What sport would you like to try? Why?

Volleyball. I played it as a child. I enjoyed playing in a team. But due to my poor eyesight, I have trouble seeing the ball.
