Call it WoWFit: Lose 100 lbs playing WoW

October 01, 2008 in Video comments 10

WiiFit? How about WoWFit!

Warbiking - a growing trend where players hook up electronic bicycles to their computers and use that to control their travels in the digital realm of Azeroth.

One player has reportedly lost over 100 pounds via this method.

Oh, did I mention they sometimes cosplay while doing so?

    Honestly?

    Well, I guess that helps out some of the bigger dudes that play Wow, like the South Park kids...

    Ah, these people need to get a life... or a WiiFit. Seriously though, they should not be adapting their world so they can dedicate their long lost lives to a video game. Breathe some fresh air I bet you'll be healthier overall.

    Dont get fat in the first place. Then this wouldn't be needed.

    I guess it helps those who are congenitally overweight. Best of both worlds.

    Disappointed in some of your comments. Honestly, there's no need to be attacking him. We don't know if he had a condition that led him overweight.

    This sounds pretty cool.

    Couldnt care less if your disappointed. Not here to impress you.

    And Im not attacking. Im talking about those who get fat because they fail to regulate their eating habits and lack motivation to continue a healthy lifestyle.

    Probably why I used the word "congenitally" aye..

      Wasn't specifically talking to you when I made my post. It was a general statement. As I said, we don't know if he had a medical condition which lead him overweight.

      Whether or not you like the method, be happy he found something that works for HIM. There's always something out in the market that can help overweight people. And this is just one of those things.

    Im more than happy for the guy, as previously mentioned in my prior comments:

    But one has to wonder how he gained the weight in the first place. Good for him if he lost 100, but without a change in diet, lifestyle, he could easily grow backup. Hopefully we get an article a bit down the track about how that man did.
