Gamer loses 3 stone playing WoW

One crazy PC gamer has managed to lose three stone over the course of three months by playing World of Warcraft.

Well, that's not quite true. He parked an exercise bike in front of his 46" LCD TV and played on the big screen whilst peddling.

His set up is pretty awesome. The bike has a keyboard attached to the handlebars, whilst a sidetable has the mouse on. The game is run from a Dell XPS laptop and hooked up to the big screen.

Our man played and pedalled for an average of one hour a day, which is quite a bit of cardio exercise to be doing.

Calling his technique 'Warbiking', he had this to say:

"The only hard part was to keep pushing the cardio so it was doing something, while playing. It was interesting to see how the game impacted the cardio - when it was slow, the cardio toned down if I didn't watch it. If things got crazy (as in, I ended up running for my life in the game) I would end up peddling really fast on the bike (LOL, I know, kinda weird - YOU try it and see what you do!)"
