Stay healthy when playing videogames - Jan 12, 2007 20:32
Just some advice:
When playing videogames we sit almost still for long periods of time (Wii players don' t need to listen to this ) which leads to bad health [:' (].
One way to prevent that is moving your body as much as possible during gameplay.
My tip is:
when playing multiplayer games like Counter-Strike, Gears of War and similar you usually end up in " spectator mode" when you die. During that time you can sit and stare at the screen
OR
make sit-ups or push-ups until the next round starts .
If you suck, you' ll make a lot of sit-ups and push-ups which will make you strong. So you will be a winner even though you lose in the game

You' ll also regain circulation in your body allowing for quicker reflexes smarter strategy as well as a more comfortable gaming session.

If you' re hardcore you can actually do sit-ups at the same time you' re playing. Or simply sit in a 90 degree angel as you were frozen in a sit-up.

I suck at every game I' ve ever played so I' m kinda strong simply because I train during spectator mode

There' s no smiley in the world that beats this one:

It' s pink! How cute!

I don' t understand some of the smileys here, they make no sense. I know we' ve talked about it before.

Poisoned?
Pale guy with sneeze protection?
Looking at the previous post?
Being cute?
If this one is happy...
...then what is this one ?

I personally just go to the gym 3 days a week and run 5 days a week with at least one 10+ mile run.

Somewhere the thread lost sight on Staying healthy vs smiles.
It' s good to go play football or run, every one in a while. Walk away from the computer, look outside,stretch occasionally.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I find it funny when you are playing Wii sports and it shows a picture of an open window and tells you to go out side and take a break. LMFAO there' s 30 inches of snow and it is -10 degrees. SCREW THAT
