Gaming and Fitness

by Xias

Unfortunately for most of us, gamers are often depicted stereotypically as lazy nerds that play at their computer desks loaded with cheetos and Mountain Dew. The last thing you want do for your own sake is replicate this stereotype. Even if you enjoy gaming and you will be sitting down for a raid for hours at a time there is always something you can be doing to keep yourself in shape, especially while raiding where there will invariably be downtime.

Don’t believe me? Click here!

Personally I hit the gym 3 times a week to do strength training and cardio 6 days a week, but still have plenty of time to do things like say, warcraft. You don’t have to be a gym rat to stay in shape, you just have to tailor your diet appropriately and get moderate exercise. Start out light, get into a routine you can handle, and you can always work your way up from there.

Good luck!
