    Default WoW Weight Loss Program

    Ok, weight loss and video games usually don't go together, but I found a way to make it happen!

    I've gained about 20 pounds over the past few years. Just from getting older and probably a little from playing the game. It's not easy trying to workout while playing WoW, but I found a solution.

    I have a home gym and decided to try and get on the treadmill while playing the game. I bought a projector, hooked up the computer and setup a keyboard, mouse and N52 controller. It just took a little time and adjustments to get it all working. A few months later and I am down 25 pounds and back to college weight.

    I hate gathering ore and herbs or any tasks like that. It just feels like a waste of time. I also hate getting on the treadmill or riding a bike or whatever. I tend to like more competitive sports.

    That said, I decided to try gathering while on the treadmill. It worked and made the time fly by. An hour goes by without even thinking about it, I get a ton of herbs or ore and a workout in the process. It's funny because together I feel like "What a waste gathering herbs, but at least I got a nice workout" or "Working out is so boring, but at least I got a ton of ore!". It's funny, but the negatives cancel each other out and it feels like a win win.

    Just thought I'd share this with the group. No 5 man multiboxing yet on it, but I have done a duo in an instance lol.
