Anyone have any recommendations for an exercise bike that is good for multiboxing WoW? Preferably a recumbent bike. I'm still trying to figure out the setup for keyboard and mouse, but this should work well for keeping semi active. I sit a lot at work and I'm trying to keep active during my game time.

Wasn't there someone who made like a huge ass wooden desk on their exercise bike. It kinda looked like a huge ass podium.
I'm sure i'm not the only one that saw this.

I remember that too, but it was 6 months ago and i dont remember the guy's name. He was on these forums though, posted alot from what i remember, at least back then.

Looks like that is currently unavailable but thanks for suggestion!
I was posting moreforthe plat formfor a keyboard and mouse idea. Itshould be easy to fabricate whatever you need to fit the bike. You could even mount you monitors to thebike itself. So really pick the bike you want and bolt on the rest :)
I'm about to do the same thing. I figure 2-3hours of game time per day can turn into 2-3hrs of low impact cardio. I'm thinking of the upright instead of the recumbent though.

Pretend you are running from a shaman and chain lightning.

Thanks, looking at this a projector would make it much easier. Hopefully there is one not too expensive.

If your playing in that long of stretches get a little timer and set it for an hour, I use my little cooking timer or you could use the alarm inside wow. Every hour when it goes off do 100 jumping jacks and 100 push up/sit ups. When I used to play for 4-5 hour stretches that is what I did. I still do it even though I normally dont play over 3 hours in a sitting anymore.

Fat Tire is right. Sometimes when waiting in queue with my dps toon, I would get up and exercise for the 15-20 min it took for the queue to pop.

HAHA looks like something I would do myself. If done right, the cinderblocks and industrial look works well. These don't sound like a bad idea. I have an office job and am on my computer all the time. Needing to get back into shape myself and these look like they'll help. Q tho, those waist band things actually work?

imo Blizzard should develop an exercise bike which gives your character up to 10% better stats when the bike is under extreme load.
no more fat America!

also, on a side note. I have a bench press and other weights in my room, and when I exercise, i use my 30-90 second rest times to farm in firelands with my mages. it works out perfect. farm kill, invis, lift. repeat.
