If a wide waistline isn't enough to get you to go to the gym, then maybe a financial incentive will provide that extra motivation.

There is a new I-phone app which offers to pay you to workout.

The app is called, Gympact.

Users make a commitment for the number of times each week they will go to the gym.

If they keep their commitments, they make money.

However, they also choose a financial penalty of $5.00 to $50.00 they would pay, if they skip a workout session.

At the end of the week, Gympact charges users who did not meet their goals.

Payout for going to the gym is anywhere between $.50 to $1.00 for each workout.
