Gaming doesn't have to be sedentary! I just recently restarted a gaming-exercise routine I used to do in the military, and I'm loving it. In between deaths, etc pick an exercise and do it. Multiply that by an hour or two gaming and you've got a good albeit barebones workout, the same with stretching. So just for example, I'm using a large heavy duty weighted exercise ball, and in between insurgency rounds (best linux fps IMHO) etc, I'll do situps and crunches, or toss it aside and do squats, stretch hamstrings, grab the kettleball for shoulder presses or grab the sledgehammer for airpunches, etc. Combined with watching my portions and not drinking so much, it looks like I'll have my old 8 pack back before the year is over. I also like to listen to lectures and talks while I game, and tend to only turn music on when I'm doing the exercises, but it makes me feel like I'm still being productive intellectually also. My hope is that wireless room aware VR will enable a new generation of non-sedentary gaming.
