You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to realize that spending the whole day playing WoW a fat gamer makes. With a little creativity however, it’s easy to imagine a treadmill hooked up to a PC, use for exercise within the game world! The benefits of such a setup, at the very least, are substantial.
Althaea has lost almost 100 pounds playing WoW from a treadmill, shrugging off a diagnosis of sleep apnea and creating an exercise routine that has definitely stuck.
The creator encountered some problems, the most obvious being how to deal with the sweat generated by the literal exercise in gaming—moisture and electronics simply don’t mix. But that problem was solved quickly, by moving the laptop far away and relying on connected peripherals to do the job (monitor, USB keyboard and mouse, etc.).
Such a great combo, this fun plus exercise thing. (wowinsider.com)
