The holiday season is here and with it comes good news. (See what we did there?) Whether you head to one of the many cheesy decorated Christmas bars and sip a seasonal cocktail, wander through the handmade Christmas markets, or just enjoy the fresh air while looking at the tackiest (and most beautiful) lights in his city. There’s no denying that this time of year can bring out the wonder in all of us.
It might even inspire you to not only shop for yourself and your loved ones, but also to find ways to give back to your community. And breaking news: It doesn’t have to cost you extra money, just a little sweat and a new app on your smartphone.
say hello to Vizer, a free app that encourages users to get up and stay active. When you download the app (which is available on iOS and Android devices), you can track qualifying activities like walking 10,000 steps, exercising for 30 minutes, or taking a class at a partner studio like Orangetheory Fitness. Once an activity is registered, you can click on Donate and the people of Vizer work with US food banks to donate a meal in his honor to populations in need. You can then rinse and repeat, doing it all over again the next day to donate another meal. (You just have to click the Donate button before midnight because the app is updated every day and donation meals don’t accumulate.)
That’s not all: for every meal donated, you earn one point. Vizer points can be redeemed in brands that promote health such as Vita Coco, basic foodY olipop at local participating partners, which you can find in the app. They are listed close to your location, so you won’t have to search high and low for a place to redeem. That said, since Vizer is still relatively new, its in-person offerings are more plentiful in major metropolitan areas.
It goes without saying that if you’ve ever needed a little extra motivation to go to a hot girls ridemeditate and progress through the Ashtanga yoga primary series, or book an All Out With Aoki class at your local Orangetheory studio, Vizer is here to help.
