/v/ - Video Games

You again? Videogames are toys, if you want to stop being fat start doing real exercise

just do your 25 minutes on the treadmill, it sucks ass but fitness games won't provide as much and fun like games and exercise should be separate entities

Either play games on a treadmill or get one of these https://www.amazon.com/Golds-Gym-Folding-Upper-Monitor/dp/B01D5BWSWI and arrange your room so you can use it while on the computer.

I already do cardio though

I just want to play games without sitting on my ass

Buy an og xbox controller and curl it while playing.

>I just want to play games without sitting on my ass

games are for sitting on your ass, if you already dedicate time to working out during your days there isn't anything wrong with playing games on your ass so long as you aren't munching on GAMER FUEL the whole time

These fitness trainers are just for and help only a little. They're fun although real workout is way better. The best exercise is swimming. It trains most muscles while not putting pressure on your joints and it's fun. Video games are for relaxing or anger management.

Play RE4 wii, all game movement must be followed by you physically moving. Or Red Steel 2.

I lost 45 pounds in 3 months by changing my diet and using an elliptical whenever I played video games. I used a wireless controller and I'd usually (without consciously meaning to) move at a speed appropriate for whatever was happening in game. I played a wide variety of things, from shooters to walking sims. It's best if you pick something light on text.

This evolved into 3 hour cardio sessions when I'd get into a game and push myself to continue. I would end the evening drenched in sweat and exhausted. This was extremely satisfying.

The only reason I no longer do this is that the elliptical wasn't mine. When I moved I had to leave it behind. RIP fitness routine.

I think this is the most practical option, playing vidya on some exercise thing, very easy to do unless you're playing FPS or something like that. If nothing else you could get one of those exercise balls to sit on.

play sonic 06

do anything with a barbell every time a loading screen pops up

>>16139246

(You) again?

>exercising on loading screens

This is the way to do it. Even if you work out for an hour a day, if you spend the rest of it on your ass it's still bad for your health and heart. Just doing a few pushups or bodyweight squats, pullups, curls, whatever anything quick and easy whenever the game is loading or you're waiting around for whatever other reason is great.

Beat Saber on Expert+ difficulty with the faster song modifier is a nice workout, if you can get good enough to actually beat a level with those settings. I've seen people reach 200+ heart rate playing this game. But yeah, you need VR for this.

If you play Anthem you get to exercise twice as long. Even better.

Are there any sonic games for the wii that are even worth playing?

Colors is decent and the day time levels for Unleashed are ok. The 360 version of Unleashed is vastly superior though since it has more levels and runs better, so just emulate that version. Black Knight is ok if you can stomach waggle controls. I haven't played Secret Rings since its release, but I remember nothing but bad things.

Play games when you want to play games and exercise when you want to exercise. Stop trying to mix things together when there's no point. What's wrong with you?
