Apps that pay you to walk
Sweatcoin

Sweatcoin gets you .95 Sweatcoins when you take 1000 outdoor steps. These Sweatcoins that you gain are similar to cryptocurrencies and you can use those coins to redeem rewards within the Sweatcoin app. You can also send these rewards over to your friends.
You earn these rewards and the rewards are new and changing daily so you get a lot of choice and can use those points toward something you really like.
