In case you needed more incentive to stick to your New Year's resolution to work out more, there's an app that might help.

Sweatcoin lets users earn "sweatcoins" for working out, and the app is taking off fast. The app links to your phone's fitness and location data to measure workout progress, according to Sweatcoin's website. Every 1,000 steps gives users .95 sweatcoins. People can use those sweatcoins to buy workout gear, classes and more, or donate them to partner charities around the world.
