As a gamer, is it normal to be physically fit

Most of the characters you play are constantly running, carrying and throwing things. So at some point your body starts to mimic their behavior.

    OMG, absolutely. The upper AND lower body strength it must take to remain in your chair, while your fingers flit across the keys must be super human. Worthy of at least 6 hours a day in the gym just like any other athlete.
    I'm not sure you could really get the proper benefit from the gym without a personal trainer to get you working on the specific muscle groups, though. So fork out the big bucks and get yourself in fantastic shape, so you can sit in your room alone and spend all your free time relating to synthetic characters, living synthetic lives.

        I don't see any jerkiness here. He's just making a joke.

    So you're saying that video games inspire you to exercise?

    • No, I'm saying your body thinks you're working out.

            So by that logic are you one of the people who considers violent videogames dangerous?

        I just voted not normal. Sitting down and playing video games is NOT a form of excersise. Maybe it could be if you had one of those Kinect or Wii Fit games, but otherwise no.

    I'm a video game enthusiast, and play video games competitively, but I still go out to the gym, do boxing and go running with my brother. You just can't get "fit" playing video games.

    Playing games doesn't count as physical exercise, it's actually counter productive. I'm an enthusiastic video gamer and I workout at the gym.

    It is normal for a gamer to be healthy but the act of playing doesn't help your physical health. Some people have said that it can help your mental health though.

    No, sorry. It doesn't work that way. It's just tour hands getting exercise. If that were true, you wouldnt see any out of shape gamers. Although hand eye coordination could improve and you may be better at hitting targets. But it wont teach you to do a backflip.
