WoW Weight Loss Program

DDR fighting...i love the idea!

Hmmm. Wonder if I can do this while doing squats and cleans.

Back in EQ where you had to sit around after each pull, I'd drop and do as many pushups as possible.

Let me just say, once you get to the point where you can bash out 10-15 sets of 100 pushups a day, you will never look a bench press the same. The functional strength gains are not comparable.

The idea of tread milling while playing WoW is brilliant tbh.

Well done.
I've got a unique plan, too: Lost my license in 2005 and been biking 15 miles to work (each way) every day since then. I'd rather not say how much I've lost in the past 3 years, because it sounds like a lot but disgusts me that it's not enough (I still haven't learned to put the fork down)
But those of you who are interested, they sell little mini pedal things that you could keep under a standard computer desk. (like the Verseo Freedom or Instride Cycle XL)
I read an article a while back on someone who would just do his email etc. on a treadmill, using a laptop. He'd keep it at 1-2MPH and would end up burning a few hundred calories by lunchtime. He kept it so slow because he didn't want to disrupt his typing etc.
The funny thing was, he'd be LESS tired at lunchtime than he was when he'd just sit in a chair all morning. Better bloodflow or something.

Good stuff. What is the projector?

This is pretty ingenious multitasking! I'd really like to do something like this too, but with
a reclined bicycle like Starbuck Jones suggested. I really hate running with a passion.

I just saw an article on Wow Insider about these people that created a program called FAAST that allows you to use the xbox 360 Kinect to play WOW. Im really excited about it. Not only can you "be" your toon but you'll lose weight doing it! I just hope this program goes retail...

Genius. I might have to dust off my exercise bike...or invest in a recumbent version; since i've got one of the traditional upright ones.

[ashlor]

wow that is awesome, GL with your dieting.
@genghikhan I saw that video as well it looks like it could be real fun, almost to the point of virtual reality. if any one remembers seeing those old tron type VR games in the local malls back in the 80's they were so cool back then.

[genghiskhan]

Im not old enough to remember that. Lol. But ya it does seem like virtual reality. And it can actually address the very real problem that us WOW players have, epsecially those that play as much as i do, of not getting enough exercise cuz we just sit on the computer all day.
